INTRODUCTION
Cvent, Inc., and its wholly-operating entities Cvent Europe Ltd.,
Cvent Deutschland GmbH, Cvent Canada Inc., Cvent Australia PTY Limited, Cvent
Singapore PTE Limited, Cvent India Private Limited, Cvent Nederland BV, Social
Tables, Inc., Lanyon Solutions, Inc., Passkey International, Inc. ("Cvent"
or "We", "us"), respect your privacy and we are committed to protecting your
privacy through our compliance with this policy.
This policy describes our practices in connection with information that we
collect through our Cvent Event Cloud and Hospitality Cloud software platforms
and applications (collectively our “Applications”) as well as Cvent’s privacy
practices in relation to the use of Cvent’s websites (such
as www.cvent.com, www.lanyon.com and other Cvent websites that link to this
policy) and external marketing activities.
This policy also describes your data protection rights, including a right to
object to some of Cvent’s processing. The Policy does not apply to information
collected by any third party, including through any third-party application or
content (including advertising) that links to or is accessible from our
applications or websites.

ARE YOU A CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER BUSINESS CONTACT OR VISITOR?
This policy applies to the following classification of individuals that interact
with Cvent:
* CUSTOMERS: Customers are individuals that are employees or associates of
Cvent’s direct customers (for example, event planners, travel buyers and
meeting space providers), including customer personnel that are assigned a
login ID and are authorized to access and use our Applications pursuant to an
active Cvent agreement, or under a temporary evaluation license, if
available. Additionally, Customers include individuals who self-register to
access our Applications.
* CUSTOMER BUSINESS CONTACTS: Customer Business Contacts are individuals that
interact with our Customers through our Applications. These include our
Customers’ current and prospective clients, members, attendees, sponsors,
exhibitors, marketing partners, hotel guests or other business contacts. For
example, Customer Business Contacts include individuals that register for an
event organized by a Customer, download an event-related mobile app,
participate in a virtual event organized by a Customer, complete an online
survey, or make a hotel or meeting space reservation using one of Cvent's
Applications.
* VISITORS: Individuals and prospective customers who interact with our
websites (for instance, to access our Supplier Network without registration
(as a non-Customer), to read about Cvent products and services, download a
white paper, or sign up for an online demo), as well as those who attend
Cvent marketing events (for instance, Cvent CONNECT®, Cvent live events and
webinars) and whom we meet at a tradeshow or learn about through a referral
from third parties or other external sources.
WHAT TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA DO OUR CUSTOMERS COLLECT?
Our Applications are flexible and allow our Customers to collect a variety of
personal data from and about their Customer Business Contacts, including name,
organization, title, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax
number, social media account ID, credit or debit card number and other
information including but not limited to meal preferences, interests, opinions,
activities, and occupation. We encourage Customer Business Contacts to review
the Customers’ privacy policies to further understand the types of data
collected.
For a more detailed list of our Applications, please refer to the “What are
Cvent's Products” section at the end of this Privacy Policy. Cvent’s use of
personal information collected through our Applications shall be limited to the
purpose of providing the service for which our Customers have engaged Cvent, to
improve our services, or as required or permitted by law.
If you do not agree with our policies and practices, you may choose not to use
our Applications.
HOW DO OUR CUSTOMERS COLLECT PERSONAL DATA?
Customers can use our customizable Applications to collect personal data in a
variety of ways as outlined in the examples below. We encourage Customer
Business Contacts to review the Customers' privacy policies to further
understand their methods of collecting the personal data.
* When Customer Business Contacts voluntarily and explicitly enter personal
data into our Applications.
* When our Customers enter Customer Business Contacts into our Applications,
when permitted, including by having a legitimate business interest or
obtaining explicit consent from a Customer Business Contact.
* Automatically, as Customer Business Contacts interact with our Applications,
using commonly used information gathering technologies such as cookies. For
additional information about these technologies, see the section below titled
“How does Cvent use cookies and similar technologies?”.
HOW DO OUR CUSTOMERS USE PERSONAL DATA?
If a Customer Business Contact chooses to use our Applications to conduct
business with a Customer (for example: register for or check into an event,
respond to an online survey, download a mobile application, or send or respond
to a Request for Proposal (“RFP”)), any information provided in connection with
that interaction will be transferred to, and under the control of, the Customer.
Customers will also have access to information (including personal data and
Application usage data) related to how Customer Business Contact interact with
the Applications they use. In such instances, the Customers act as data
controllers towards the Customer Business Contact, under the European Economic
Area (“EEA”) data protection laws. Therefore, Cvent cannot and does not take
responsibility for the privacy practices of Customers.
The information practices of our Customers are governed by their privacy
policies. We encourage Customer Business Contacts to review the Customers’
privacy policies to understand their practices and procedures.
DOES CVENT USE OR SELL PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED BY OUR CUSTOMERS?
Cvent does not use personal data of our Customer Business Contacts for any
purposes other than to provide services that our Customers have contracted us to
provide through our Applications, as noted below, to improve our services, or as
required or permitted by law. Cvent does not sell personal data of our Customer
Business Contacts.
HOW DOES CVENT COLLECT AND PROCESS PERSONAL DATA FROM OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR
CUSTOMER BUSINESS CONTACTS?
We collect personal data from our Customers in order to facilitate communication
and delivery of the Applications that our Customers are interested in or
contract us to provide. For example, we may collect Customer contact
information, whether through the execution of a contract, use of our services, a
form on our website, queries submitted to our chat agent, an interaction with
our sales or customer support team, sign up for an event, or a response to one
of our surveys or marketing emails. We may also collect credit card information
(e.g., credit card number and expiration date, billing address, etc.) or other
customary bank information needed for billing and payment purposes.
We may record Customer telephone (or video) calls made to our Client Services
team for legitimate business interests related to providing Customer support,
compliance with laws, training, and quality assurance. Where required by law, we
will obtain consent from Customers before proceeding with the recorded telephone
or video call. We retain such recordings until 90 days after the date of
recording unless otherwise needed for contract implementation or further
employee training.
We and our vendors collect Customer usage information about how our Customers
interact with our Applications. This includes which webpages you visit, what you
click on, when you perform certain actions, what language preference you have,
what you buy, and so on.
We process Customer’s and their Customer Business Contacts’ personal data in the
following manner:
* To disclose to our subsidiaries and affiliates for the purpose of providing
services to our Customers and their Customer Business Contacts.
* To disclose to contractors, service providers, and other third parties as
reasonably necessary or prudent to provide, maintain and support
our Applications for our Customers and their Customer Business Contacts, such
as, for example, payment processors and data center or Web hosting
providers. Cvent does not share, sell or trade any information with such
third parties for any promotional purposes.
* To deliver the services that our Customer has contracted us to provide
through our Applications. Some examples include:
* If a Customer Business Contact uses one of our Applications to register for
an event, we will use their provided e-mail address to send them
information and announcements relating to that event.
* If a Customer Business Contact uses one of our Applications to pay for
event registration fees or other products and services using their credit
cards, we will pass the credit card information to payment card processors
to validate the payment information and complete the transactions.
* When a Customer submits an RFP to a meeting space provider listed on the
Cvent Supplier Network, or to a Customer's Business Contact as directed by
the Customer, Cvent will contact that venue, management company or Customer
Business Contact and disclose information, which contains personal data,
necessary for it to respond to the RFP.
* When a Customer reserves a meeting space or hotel room at a venue utilizing
Cvent’s InstantBook service, Cvent will share necessary personal data with
the venue directly or via that venue’s technology platform, in order to
complete the booking directly with Customer.
* When a Customer or Customer Business Contact uses their social media
credentials to share information on their social media platform or to log
into one of our Applications, we will share information with their social
media account provider. The information we share will be governed by the
social media site’s privacy policy.
* To disclose to event organizers, exhibitors, or other attendees, as
directed by a Customer or consented to by a Customer Business Contact, such
as by consenting to having an exhibitor scan their event badge to share
their contact information, opting-in or clicking to give consent to receive
exhibitor information, or actively consenting to share information in a
Cvent Application (e.g., name, contact information, profile picture, survey
responses, Q&A features, comments, messages, poll responses, etc.).
* As instructed by Customer, to connect Customer Business Contacts with one
another by relying on matching algorithms to recommend compatible Customer
Business Contacts for optional business networking.
* To deliver to a third party in the event of a merger, divestiture,
restructuring, recapitalization, reorganization, dissolution or other sale or
transfer of some or all Cvent’s assets, whether as a continuing operating
business or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceeding, in
which personal data held by Cvent about our Customers and Customer Business
Contacts is among the assets transferred.
* For our internal business purposes that include administering access and use
of our Applications, data analysis, securely identifying Customers upon
logging onto an Application, enhancing or modifying our Applications,
determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, billing for
Services, and operating our business.
* As we believe to be necessary or appropriate: (a) under applicable law,
including laws outside your country of residence; (b) to respond to requests
from public and government authorities including public and government
authorities outside your country of residence; and (c) to protect against or
identify fraudulent transactions.
* For other purposes when Customer Business Contacts provide explicit consent.
We aggregate information about (i) Customers and Customer Business Contacts, and
(ii) the use of our Applications in order to improve our Applications and to
create benchmark and other business intelligence products. None of the
aggregated information contain personal data (i.e., does not identify any
individual).
WHAT IS THE LEGAL BASIS FOR CVENT TO PROCESS PERSONAL DATA?
For individuals that are from the European Economic Area (EEA) or other regions
that stipulate a lawful basis for processing personal information (such as under
GDPR Article 6), our legal basis for collecting and using their personal
information will depend on the nature and circumstances of the processing
activity. Where we are the processor for our Customers, our legal basis may be
fulfilment of a contract or consent. Where we are the controller, our legal
basis will be consent or legitimate interest where the processing is in our
legitimate interests and not overridden by the individual’s data protection
interests, or fundamental rights and freedoms. These interests are to provide
individuals with access to the Applications and features of the Applications; to
send them information they have requested; to ensure the security of our
Applications by trying to prevent unauthorised or malicious activities; or to
enforce compliance with our terms of use, contracts and other policies.
HOW LONG DOES CVENT STORE PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED BY OUR CUSTOMERS?
Unless otherwise provided in our contract with our Customer, we process the data
until 90 days after the termination of the contract, at which time we remove it
from our production environment. Within 13 months, we remove the data from our
backup media.
HOW CAN A CUSTOMER BUSINESS CONTACT ACCESS, CORRECT OR DELETE THEIR PERSONAL
DATA?
In various countries, including countries in the EEA, as well as in some U.S.
states, upon their request, Customer Business Contacts have the right to
access their personal data and, if necessary, have it amended, deleted or
restricted. Customer Business Contacts can also ask for some types of personal
data to be delivered to them, or another organization they nominate, in a
structured and machine-readable format.
Where we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, you have the
right to withdraw your consent. See the Cvent contact section below. The
withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on
consent before its withdrawal. Customer Business Contacts in the EEA also have
the right to complain to a supervisory authority for data protection in the
country where they live, or where they work – although we hope that we can
assist with any queries or concerns you have about our use of your personal
data.
Cvent processes Customer Business Contacts' data under the direction of our
Customers and has no direct control or ownership of the personal data we
process. Customers are responsible for complying with any regulations or laws
requiring notice, disclosure or obtaining consent prior to transferring the data
to Cvent for processing purposes. Any Customer Business Contact that seeks to
access, correct or delete data, should direct their query to the Customer. If
the Customer requests Cvent to delete, rectify or access the personal data of a
Customer Business Contact to comply with data protection regulations, Cvent will
process this request within the required time under the applicable regulation or
law.
We will not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change
would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be
incorrect. In such instances, we will inform the Customer about the legal
obligations that prevent us from fulfilling the request.
HOW CAN A CUSTOMER ACCESS, CORRECT, OR DELETE THEIR PERSONAL DATA?
Customers have the same rights to access, correct or delete their personal data
as outlined above.
Any Customer can access, correct or delete their data, or their Customer
Business Contact data by submitting a request on our website
at https://www.cvent.com/personal-data-requests. Cvent will process this request
within the required time under the applicable regulation or law.
We will not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change
would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be
incorrect. In such instances, we will inform the Customer about the legal
obligations that prevent us from fulfilling the request.
We will maintain an audit history of any requests to access, correct or delete
personal information to maintain a record of compliance with regulatory
requirements.

rights regarding your personal information, including the right to request that
we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your

to certain exceptions; and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal

Privacy Policy. Cvent may have disclosed a Customer’s or Visitor’s, name, title,
or business contact information to host venues (e.g., restaurant or hotel) or
event sponsors of Cvent marketing events in the 12 months immediately preceding
the posting of this updated privacy policy. If a Customer or Visitor wishes to
have their information excluded from this type of disclosure, click here to
submit the request. Cvent may have disclosed any of the above categories of
personal information pursuant to an individual’s consent or under a written
contract with a service provider for a business purpose in 12 months immediately
preceding the posting of this updated privacy policy.
HOW DOES CVENT USE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies and Web Beacons
We and authorized third parties use cookies or similar automatic data collection
technologies as individuals interact with our Applications to collect certain
information about their equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including:
* Details of your visits to our Applications, such as the date and time you
access our Applications, length of time you spend on our Applications,
websites that linked to our Applications or websites linked from our
Applications, the resources and content that you access and use on the
Applications.
* Information about your computer and internet connection, such as your IP
Address, computer type, screen resolution, language, Internet browser type
and version.
Below are the technologies we use for automatic data collection. We do not use
any of these technologies to collect information from Customer Business Contacts
for marketing or advertising purposes. Our Customers may add cookies or other
similar technologies through our Applications for their own purposes, including
for marketing purposes.
* Browser Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on a computer hard drive.
Web browsers can be configured to restrict or entirely block cookies, to
configure cookie notification settings and/or to delete cookies already
present on the browser or device. Information on how to do this is provided
by the web browser’s help/reference section. Limiting or restricting certain
types of cookies may prevent a Customer or Customer Business Contact from
using certain portions of our Applications, depending on how the browser
settings are configured. For example, event registration cannot be completed
successfully if cookies are disabled in the web browser. Unless the browser
setting has been adjusted so that it will refuse cookies, our system will
issue cookies when the browser interacts with our Applications. For more
information about cookies and how to disable them,
see www.allaboutcookies.org.
* Duration. Browser Cookies are either “session” or “persistent” in
duration. A "session" cookie lasts for a single browser session only and
is deleted when the user closes the web browser. Session cookies allow
website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session.
A "persistent" cookie remains on the user’s device (even while powered
off) until it expires or is deleted. A persistent cookie will be
reactivated when a user returns to the website which posted the cookie. We
use persistent cookies to help customize your web experience when you
return to a web page or our website.
Neither of these cookies can read or access other cookies or any data from a
user’s hard drive. Further, neither of these cookies alone will personally
identify a user; however, a cookie will recognize a user’s individual web
browser or device through an IP Address, browser version, operating system and
other information, and individuals who log in to their Cvent accounts will be
individually identifiable to particular Applications using session cookies.
* Purpose. Our website uses cookies that serve the following purpose types:
* Strictly necessary (essential). Strictly necessary cookies make our website
work, they are essential for the website to perform its basic functions.
* Performance. Also known as “statistics cookies”, and including analytics
cookies, performance cookies collect information about how you use a
website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. None
of this information can be used to identify you. Their sole purpose is to
improve website functions. This includes cookies from third-party analytics
services as long as the cookies are for the exclusive use of the owner of
the website visited.
* Functionality. Also known as “preferences” cookies, these cookies allow a
website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language
you prefer. They are used to enhance the user experience of the website
but are non-essential to their use, but without these cookies, certain
functionality may become unavailable.
* Marketing. These cookies track your online activity to help advertisers
deliver more relevant advertising or to limit how many times you see an ad.
These cookies can share that information with other organizations or
advertisers. These are persistent cookies and almost always of third-party
provenance.
* Web Beacons. Pages in our Applications and our e-mails will contain small
electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel
tags and single-pixel gifs). Web beacons differ from cookies in that the
information is not stored on your hard drive, but invisibly embedded on web
pages or in email. Web beacons permit us to track online movements of web
users, for example: to count users who have visited those pages or opened an
e-mail and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the
popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server
integrity). This enables Cvent to provide a website experience more tailored
to our users’ preferences and interests.
At this time, we do not respond to browser ‘do not track’ signals, as we await
for a uniform standard put forth by regulators or the privacy industry. Cvent
earnestly considers an individual’s independent right to determine how their
personal data is processed and continues to monitor developments in this area.
Advertising
We use information collected from our venue sourcing Customers to enable us to
display advertisements from our Hospitality Cloud Customers to their target
audience of users through our network or our advertising service providers. As
one example, meeting space providers purchase advertisements that are presented
selectively through the Cvent Supplier Network to meeting planners who have
previously awarded a minimum volume of meetings business to that provider or to
competing venues in the target metropolitan area. Even though we do not
disclose personal data for these purposes, if the venue sourcing user clicks on
or otherwise interacts with an advertisement, the advertising Hospitality Cloud
Customer assumes that the venue sourcing user meets its target criteria. While
we and our Hospitality Cloud Customers leverage this technology to advertise to
Customers, we never use our Customer's information to advertise to Customer
Business Contacts.
We also use third parties (such as LinkedIn, Google, Facebook, YouTube) to serve
advertisements that may be of interest to you on other websites. For more
information and the ability to control your preferences, please visit:

Third Party Analytics Providers
We use third party analytics providers, including Google, Adobe, Mixpanel,
Mouseflow and others, to collect information about the usage of our Applications
and websites to enable us to improve how they work. The information allows us
to see the overall patterns of usage on the Applications, helps us record any
difficulties you have with the Applications, shows us whether our advertising is
effective or not, and allows us to use responses to advertisements to optimize
ad performance. Google Analytics, Adobe and Mixpanel use cookies and other
similar technologies to collect information about the usage of our Applications
and to report website trends to us, without storing any personal data on
external third-party analytics provider platforms. See below for more
information, or to opt out of these practices:

HOW DOES CVENT PROCESS DATA FROM VISITORS?
Cvent processes Visitor data separately and distinctly from the way we process
Customer and Customer Business Contact data. By visiting our websites, attending
Cvent marketing events or providing us with your personal information, Visitors
consent to the collection, processing and storage of their personal information
as described in this section.
Visitor Personal Data Collected
Cvent collects personal data including name, title, postal address, e-mail
address, telephone number, social media account ID, company information
(including financial and billing information when purchasing Cvent services),
survey responses, message board posts, chat messages, contest entries and
promotional enquiries. We may collect this Visitor information through a form on
our website, queries submitted to our chat agent, an interaction with our sales
or customer support team, when signing up for an event, or a through a response
to one of our surveys or marketing emails. We use this information to provide
you with additional details about our services, conduct research, provide
whitepapers or to contact you after your visit.
We also collect personal data from third party sources, such as third parties
from whom we have purchased business contact information, public databases,
joint marketing partners, and social media platforms. In some cases, Cvent may
combine personal data you have provided to us with personal data collected from
other sources. We use this data to improve our websites and advertising, and to
identify prospective marketing opportunities. For example, if a Visitor elects
to connect her social media account to her account for our websites, certain
personal data from the social media account will be shared with us, which may
include personal data that is part of the Visitor’s profile or her friends’
profiles.
If you elect to do so, when you provide a reference, we collect personal
information about your contacts, such as:
* Name
* Work email
* Organization
* Phone number
* City of residence
* ZIP code
When you provide us with personal information about your contacts we will only
use this information for the specific reason for which it is provided.
If you believe that someone else has provided us with your personal information
and you would like to request us to remove it from our database, please submit a
request at https://www.cvent.com/personal-data-requests. Additionally, we and
our analytics service providers collect personal data from cookies and similar
technologies to collect information about the pages Visitors view, links
Visitors click on, Visitors’ web browser information, Visitors’ IP address and
other actions Visitors may take when accessing our websites. For additional
information about our use of these technologies and how to control them, see
“Cookies and similar technologies“ section above.
Cvent’s Use of Visitor Personal Data Collected
Cvent processes Visitor personal data to:
* Analyze how our websites are accessed;
* Personalize your browsing experience and present products or features that
may be more applicable to you;
* Identify website technical problems;
* Discover, investigate and remediate fraudulent or illegal activity;
* Transmit notices related to product, service, or policy changes;
* Respond to your product and service inquiries;
* Send you information such as product announcements, newsletters, whitepapers,
other relevant offers, and upcoming promotions or events (where required,
dependent on jurisdiction, we will seek and obtain your explicit consent
before sending marketing emails);

Storing of Visitor Personal Data
Where we process Visitor personal data for marketing purposes or with Visitor
consent, we process the data until the Visitor asks us to stop. It typically
takes up to 30 days to implement your request, but in no event longer than
required by applicable law. Cvent will not retain Visitor personal data longer
than the statutory retention period permitted in the local jurisdictions where
Cvent services are marketed and provided. Where Cvent retains Visitor personal
data, we also keep a record of when Visitors have asked us not to send direct
marketing or to process Visitor data indefinitely so that we can respect the
Visitor’s request in the future.
Sharing of Visitor Data
Cvent may share information with third party service providers contracted to
provide services on our behalf as well as third parties who resell Cvent
services.
Cvent may also engage with business partners to jointly offer products, services
or other programs such as webinars or whitepapers and from time to time, we may
share personal data if you purchase or show interest in any jointly-offered
products or services.
Cvent will only share personal data of Visitors or Customers who attend a Cvent
marketing event with third parties if a) the Visitor explicitly consents, b) the
Visitor permits their badge to be scanned, or c) it is permissible under
applicable law.
Access, correct or delete Visitor data
Visitors have the same rights to access, correct or delete their personal data
as do our Customers, as outlined in section “How can a Customer access, correct
or delete your personal data?”
Any Visitor that seeks to access, correct or delete data, can do so by
submitting a request on our website
at https://www.cvent.com/personal-data-requests. Cvent will process this request
within 30 days.
We will not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change
would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be
incorrect. In such instances, we will inform the Visitor about the legal
obligations that prevent us from fulfilling the request.
We will maintain an audit history of any requests to access, correct or delete
personal information to maintain a record of compliance with regulatory
requirements.
California residents
If you are a Visitor and a California resident, California law provides you with
specific rights regarding your personal information. All practices described in
the California resident section of “How can a Customer access, correct, or
delete their personal data?” also applies to California Visitors.
Cookies and similar technologies
All practices related to cookies and their usage described in section “How does
Cvent use cookies and similar technologies” also applies to Visitors when they
interact with our websites.
DOES CVENT PROCESS INFORMATION OF CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 16?
None of our Applications are directed to children under 16 years of age. We do
not directly solicit or knowingly collect personal data from children
under 16. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected
personal information from children under the age of 16, we will delete as soon
as practicable.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of our Customers with which
your child may interact. You should review the applicable terms and policies for
Customers to determine their appropriateness for your child, including their
data collection and use practices.
WHERE DOES CVENT TRANSFER THE PERSONAL DATA IT PROCESSES?
To facilitate our business practices and delivery of our services, personal data
may be collected, accessed from, transferred to or stored in the United States
or in other countries where we operate, including countries outside the European
Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and UK. Personal data may be accessed by Cvent
personnel providing services in any country where we have facilities, or in
which we engage third party service providers (processors or subprocessors),
including India, Australia and Singapore. In instances where we transfer
personal data outside the European Economic Area, we implement safeguards to
ensure an adequate level of data protection, including the use of Standard
Contract Clauses as approved by the European Commission, or taking other
measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection under EU law. For
cross-border data transfers from the EEA or UK, Cvent will implement an
appropriate data transfer solution in the form of the Standard Contractual
Clauses approved by the European Commission (EU SCCs) or UK authority (UK
SCCs). Accordingly, Cvent has made available a data processing addendum
containing the EU SCCs and UK SCCsfor its Customers here. Where you are a
customer that has signed a data processing addendum with Cvent containing
transfer provisions based on Cvent’s Privacy Shield certification, we encourage
Customers to sign and return our Amendment to Data Processing Agreement.
Cvent's privacy practices, described in this Privacy Policy, comply with the
APEC Cross Border Privacy Rules System. The APEC CBPR system provides a
framework for organizations to ensure protection of personal information
transferred among participating APEC economies. More information about the APEC

APEC Privacy Recognition for Processors (PRP) system. The APEC PRP system

information transferred among participating APEC economies. More information

HOW DOES CVENT SECURE THE DATA IT PROCESSES?
We use a variety of organizational, technical and administrative measures to
protect personal data within our organization. We follow generally accepted
standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during
transmission and once it is received. Unfortunately, no data transmission or
storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to
believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you
feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been
compromised), please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in
