Transfers of personal information We may share your personal information with any brand within Assemble Media Group, in order to enable you to access the services, provide you with customer support and conduct the other activities described in this privacy policy. We use other companies, agents or contractors (“Service Providers”) to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of services to you. For example, we may engage Service Providers to provide market research, marketing (including competitions), advertising, communications, event management (including logistics, health and safety and audio-visual services), meetings and bookings (including accommodation), training, IT, hosting and other infrastructure, subscription and discount management, payment processing, and data cleansing and processing services. In the course of providing such services, these Service Providers may have access to your personal information.

We will always use our best efforts to ensure that all the Service Providers we work with will keep your personal data secure. We may also disclose your personal information to third parties: * in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; * if any member of the Assemble Media Group or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data about its customers will be one of the transferred assets; and * if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or in order to enforce our terms and conditions or other agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of the Assemble Media Group.

In some instances, for example, a products listing site, you may reach out directly to a supplier or exhibitor who may contact you in return.

Generally, we will let you know at the time of collection if a product is sponsored. If you wish to change your contact preferences with an individual exhibitor/sponsor, please follow their own unsubscribe request details. Unsubscribing with Assemble Media Group or its associated brands will stop them from contacting you in the future, but not the individual third parties whom you have interacted with independently.

It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of services to you or the processing of your payment details. We will take all steps that are mandatory or reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable data protection laws, including, where relevant, entering into EU standard contractual clauses (or equivalent measures) with the party outside the EEA receiving the data.
