How do we keep your Personal Information secure?

We store personal information in secure databases and in secure cloud environments. 

We take appropriate security measures to protect such personal information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

We take protection of your personal information and our system security very seriously. Any personal information that is collected, processed or stored will have appropriate safeguards applied in line with our data protection obligations.  

We have also designed and implemented controls to minimise loss of, or damage to, your personal information by human error, negligence or malicious intent and engage internal and external auditors to conduct regular, independent assurance exercises across our business to ascertain the effectiveness of our security control environment and our security strategy.

Our employees also protect your personal information whenever they are processing it and undergo regular training on privacy and data protection requirements.

Our security controls are aligned to industry standards and good practice; providing a control environment that effectively manages risks to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal information.

All exchanges of personal information between you and our websites go through secure channels in order to prevent interception of your personal information.

Where we collect any sensitive personal information about your food allergies and health conditions for events and conferences we may host, we will apply additional security controls to protect that data.

Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access an account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our website and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we put in place reasonable and appropriate controls to ensure that it remains secure against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized access.

How long will we store your Personal Information?

If we collect your personal information, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. We do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary.

We may need your personal information to establish, bring or defend legal claims. For this purpose, we will always retain your personal information for 7 years after the date it is no longer needed by us for any of the purposes listed under “Why do we collect your personal information”. The only exceptions to this are where:

• the law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period, or delete it sooner;
• you exercise your right to have the information erased (where it applies in a jurisdiction) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted or required under the law; or
• in limited cases, the law permits us to keep your personal information indefinitely provided we put certain protections in place.

Schedule A – Companies

Schedule B – Additional requirements (Jurisdiction)

For UK and European Union (EU) residents, the following additional rights apply:

Right to erasure – 

(sometimes referred to as ‘the right to be forgotten’). The broad principle underpinning this right is to enable you to request the deletion or removal of personal information whether there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.

Right to restrict processing – 

The board principle underpinning this right is to restrict the processing of personal information if one of the following applies:

2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal information and requests the restriction of their use instead;
3. we no longer need the personal information for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
4. you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of us override those of you. 

Right of data portability – 

You are able to obtain and reuse your personal information for your own purposes across different services by being allowed to move, copy or transfer personal information easily from one IT environment to another.

Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to further use of your personal information.

 Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling – This right doesn’t apply to all circumstances but, where it does apply, it effectively provides you with safeguards against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken solely based on automated means, without human intervention, which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you
