Definitions: “Personal Data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person and any other data or information that constitutes personal data or personal information under any applicable Data Protection Law. Without limiting the foregoing, an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by referencing (i) an identifier such as a person’s name, e-mail address, phone number, account numbers, government-issued ID numbers, or an online identifier; (ii) location data such as an IP address, (iii) financial information, (iv) one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person, or (v) information associated or combined with Personal Data.
“Controller” means the natural or legal person, agency, or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Data; where the purposes and means of processing are determined by the European Union or Member State laws, the controller (or the criteria for nominating the controller) may be designated by those laws.
“Data Protection Law” means any law, rule, regulation, decree, statute, or other enactment, order, mandate or resolution, applicable to Event Organizer or Sponsors, relating to data security, anti-spam, data protection and/or privacy, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to processing of personal data and the free movement of that data (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and any implementing, derivative or related legislation, rule, regulation, and regulatory guidance, as amended, extended, repealed and replaced, or re-enacted.
General Statement: Personal Data is collected for all attendees for registration and promotion purposes. We do not release or sell attendee data. All associated parties will comply with Data Protection Law, any applicable anti-spam legislation and will protect Personal Data from unauthorized use, access or disclosure.
If Personal Data is given out, it is done at the will of the attendee during the event via lead scanning or card drops.
In addition, if either the Event Organizer or Sponsors intend to share Personal Data of Event attendees or visitors with one another at the direction of the applicable Event attendees or visitors, the parties agree that each will be independently responsible for complying with the obligations under Data Protection Law (e.g., independent Controllers under GDPR or the equivalent concept under CCPA). These obligations include, without limitation, providing appropriate notice to and obtaining consent from Event attendees and visitors to share their Personal Data with the other party, and for the party receiving it to use Personal Data for the purposes of contacting individuals about the receiving party’s products, services, events, or offers.
In the event that either party shares Personal Data at the direction of the other party and not at the direction of the attendees/visitors, (i) the parties will use the Personal Data only in connection with their direct business relationship and (ii) neither party will transfer or sell the Personal Data to any third party except to contractually bound sub-processors operating on behalf of that party. Both parties hereby certify that they understand the above restrictions and will comply with them.
