CDS DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION POLICY

CDS Data Privacy and Protection Policy
Sales
RFP
Demo

SUMMARY

This policy is intended to clearly communicate how Convention Data Services
collects, uses, protects, and otherwise handles your Personally Identifiable
Information on behalf of the event organizer who has contracted with CDS to
provide registration and lead retrieval services.

WHAT IS CONVENTION DATA SERVICES?

Convention Data Services (or CDS) is a software and services company
specializing in registration and lead retrieval for the events industry. We
process event registrations on behalf of tradeshows, associations, and
corporations that manage live events and conventions. We also contract with
exhibitors at those events to help them learn about and connect with attendees.

PRIVACY STATEMENT

Convention Data Services, LLC (CDS) is committed to respecting the privacy of
our customers and all visitors to our websites. It is our belief that
individuals ultimately have the right to understand and control how their
personal data is used. We have instituted policies and procedures to ensure your
privacy rights are protected.

Convention Data Services will, so far as is reasonably practical, comply with
the privacy and data protection principles of all countries and with all laws
within the United States to ensure that all data is:

 * Fairly and lawfully processed
 * Obtained and used for specific and clearly stated purposes
 * Adequate, relevant, and not excessive
 * Accurate and up to date
 * Not kept for longer than necessary
 * Processed in accordance with your rights
 * Secure
 * Not transferred to other countries without adequate protection

WHAT IS “PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII)?”

Personally identifiable information, or PII, as described in US privacy laws, is
information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify,
contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual. You can be
identified from information such as your name, email address, phone number, home
address, driver’s license number, and passport number. You may also be
identified from information such as an online identifier, IP address, unique
device ID, or website cookie; this type of information becomes PII when combined
with information that further identifies who you are.

WHEN DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION?

Generally, those who wish to attend conventions, conferences, trade shows, or
similar events will register for those events online or over the telephone.
During the process of that registration, you share with us personal information
about yourself which generally includes contact information, demographics
pertaining to your trade or profession, and payment information. Alternatively,
we may collect association membership data directly from the organization to
which you belong.

It is CDS policy not to accept or store personally identifiable information from
children under 16 years of age without parental consent.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Our registration websites are somewhat different depending on requirements of
show management, but we typically collect your contact information required for
attendance at an event, including:

 * Name
 * Company/Title
 * Address
 * Email Address
 * Phone Number

Additionally, we collect what is known as “demographic” information.
Demographics vary widely from event to event, but in general are consist of
information useful to exhibitors with whom you may wish to exchange information
at the show. Examples include:

 * Your role at your company
 * Credentials for certain industries
 * Whether you are able to purchase on behalf of your employer
 * Product areas of interest to you

We also collect payment information to process payments, but we do not store
credit card numbers.

HOW CONVENTION DATA SERVICES USES YOUR DATA

We may use the information we collect from you when you register, make a
purchase, respond to a survey or marketing communication, surf the website, or
use certain other site features in the following ways:

 * Email advance notice of and/or invitation to events
 * Send email to confirm your registration
 * Personalize your experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content
   and product offerings in which you are most interested
 * Look up and print your physical badge for an event
 * Generate certificates of attendance, credentials, etc. as may be applicable
   for your event
 * Track attendance to event courses or sessions, where applicable
 * Process your payment transactions
 * Ask for ratings and reviews of services or products
 * Administer a contest, promotion, survey, or other site feature
 * Follow up with you after correspondence (live chat, email, or phone
   inquiries)
 * Allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service
   requests

HOW CONVENTION DATA SERVICES MAY SHARE YOUR DATA

 * Share with the event organizer (trade association, etc.).
 * Share with third parties involved in the event process at the request of
   event organizers (e.g., hotel booking companies).
 * Potentially share with exhibitors and sponsors at the event through badge
   scanning onsite at the event. You control the access by physically presenting
   your badge for scanning.
 * Share with exhibitors and sponsors you interact with in the virtual event.
 * Some shows employ tools (Attendee List and Exhibitor Emails) which allow
   event exhibitors to send you email and/or direct mail. These applications
   generally do not allow exhibitors direct access to your contact information,
   and you may opt out of inclusion in these marketing lists during the
   registration process.
 * Invite-a-Colleague/Customer Referral Programs – This service allows you to
   invite colleagues and customers by providing their name and email address.
   Convention Data Services will receive and store this information and use it
   to send an invitation on the attendee/exhibitor’s behalf.
 * The Registration Resource Center allows other attendees to contact you within
   the application itself. Limited information such as name and company are
   shown.
 * Some applications (Registration Resource Center, Geo Attendance Map, etc.)
   may provide limited information to other attendees, including name, title,
   company, and city.

Once your data has been shared with a third party, CDS no longer has direct
control over that information, but we require our partners to agree to follow
all state and country privacy laws.
