Sharing your personal data  

We may share your personal data with selected third parties, including:

  • Other companies in the ITE Group who may be acting as joint controllers or processors and/or provide IT and system administration services and internal reporting activities.
  • Companies outside of the ITE Group who act as sales agents on behalf of ITE in certain countries.

  • Venue providers or providers of event services who need to process your personal data in order to fulfil their contracts with you or with ITE to provide services at our events.

No email addresses and telephone numbers will be made public through the delegate listing or otherwise. You may opt out of delegate communication through this medium at any time.

  • comply with legal obligation, process or request;
  • enforce our terms and conditions and other agreements, including investigation of any potential violation thereof;
  • detect, prevent or otherwise address security, fraud or technical issues; or
  • protect the rights, property or safety of us, our users, a third party or the public as required or permitted by law (including exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction).

We may also disclose your information to third parties:

  • in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; or
  • if we or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case information held by us about our users will be one of the transferred assets.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

Data transfers outside the EEA

Sometimes we may transfer your details to third parties outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) to support the delivery of our events either within the EEA or our events in these territories, including Russia, Turkey, Ukraine, China, UAE, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and India. If this happens we remain responsible to you for the transfer, processing and storage of your information. 

Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your information, but we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted over the internet; any transmission is at your own risk. We will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access to your information within our control and possession.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements and for no longer than six years (unless a longer period is required by law).

In certain circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see 'Your rights' below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
