The Association collects information about website visitors and subscribers during their registration for corporate events, workshops and seminars, or any other event hosted by The Association.

The Association may also collect personal data of the same nature for any accompanying persons. The Association may also collect information where visitors or subscribers participate in certain Association activities, such as questionnaires and surveys, and through the use of cookies. When visitors request pages from our server, our web server automatically collects some information about them, including their IP addresses. These addresses are used by computers on the network to send the requested pages to visitors.

A. perform any contract to which you are party (such as providing you with services) or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract;

B. exercise our legitimate business interests, for example where you have signed up for any of our events, by sharing your name, company and email address with other delegates to that event via our password-protected event website and publishing the details in the event programme;

C. carry out other functions with your specific consent, such as providing you with information e.g. via our website;

D. ensure that the website is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer;

E. in accordance with our legitimate business interests and legal obligations.

The Association will not reveal any of your personal information to any third party without your permission or as permitted in accordance with our legitimate interests or as required by law. The Association uses visitors’ IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer the website. We also use it to gather broad demographic information about our visitors in general. This information does not contain any details that can identify visitors personally.

Using email addresses and appropriate indications of consent provided at registration or collected otherwise, The Association periodically sends out email newsletters and promotional emails to our visitors about services and publications offered by this website. Visitors can indicate whether they wish to receive such information from The Association and may update their preferences by following the instructions included in each such communication. Third parties will not contact our website visitors through the use of our email lists.

The Association will only process your personal data to the extent that it is necessary for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy and will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for such purposes.

Given the global nature of The Association and its business, we may need to transfer your information to countries outside of the European Economic Area in order to provide our services to you. Where this is necessary, The Association will ensure that the appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and also the Data Protection Act 2018.
