LEGAL GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION
We rely on one or more of the following processing conditions:
* Perform our contractual obligations; and/or
* Satisfy any legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject; and/or
* Satisfy our legitimate interests in the effective delivery of information and
services and in the effective and lawful operation of our businesses; and/or
* When we have consent to process personal information
SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We have implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational
security to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse,
alteration or destruction.
Only authorised persons are provided access to personally identifiable
information we have collected, and such individuals have agreed to maintain the
confidentiality of this information.
Although we use appropriate security measures once we have received your
personal data, the transmission of data over the internet (including by e-mail)
is never completely secure.
We endeavour to protect personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of
data transmitted to or by us.
SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may share or disclose personal information we collect to third parties (other
organisations or individuals) for:
* The purpose(s) for which the personal information has been submitted to us
* The purposes listed above under Using personal information
We also may share or disclose personal data to third parties who process
personal information on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions
("data processors"). These include:
* Technical support providers
* Professional support providers
We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot
do anything with personal information unless we have instructed them to do it.
They will not share personal information with any organisation apart from us.
They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.
These third-party providers may use their own third-party subcontractors that
have access to personal data (sub-processors). It is our policy to use only
third-party providers that are bound to maintain appropriate levels of security
and confidentiality, to process personal information only as instructed by us,
and to flow those same obligations down to their sub-processors.
We may also disclose personal information to third parties under the following
circumstances:
* When explicitly requested by you
* When required to deliver goods or services requested by you
* When required to facilitate our events which are hosted by a third party
* If we are subject to a corporate sale, merger or acquisition, although we
will ensure personal information is only ever used for the same purpose(s)
for which it was originally collected by any acquirer
We may also disclose your personal information to law enforcement and other
third parties, as required by and/or in accordance with applicable law or
regulation.
INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your personal information will not be transferred by us outside the UK or the
European Economic Area unless in connection with ECAL.
Where your personal information is transferred outside the UK. Any such transfer
will be only:
* To a recipient located in a country which provides an adequate level of
protection for your personal information, (a level of protection comparable
to UK levels of data protection); or
* To a recipient under a contractual agreement which satisfies UK legal
requirements for the transfer of personal information, to ensure that
appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal information in
accordance with UK levels of data protection; or
* When your personal information has first been anonymised; or
* With your consent
No personal information is transferred to China.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will retain personal information only for as long as we need it, given the
purposes for which it was collected, or as required to do so by law.
MARKETING
will only provide such marketing materials if we have been provided with consent
for us to do so.
Anyone can object to receive direct marketing from us at any time, by contacting
us. Any emails or other electronic communications that we send for direct
marketing purposes will also have an 'unsubscribe' facility. However, we may
retain information sufficient to identify individuals so that we can honour
their request.

You have certain rights in relation to the personal information we hold about
you. In particular, you have the right to:
* Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you: You have the right

personal information that you think is incorrect or incomplete

consent; or
