Purpose and legal basis for processing

Our purpose for collecting this information is so we can facilitate the event and provide you with an acceptable service.

The legal basis we rely on for processing your personal data is your consent under article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. When we collect any information about dietary or access requirements we also need your consent (under article 9(2)(a)) as this type of information is classed as special category data.

What we need?

If you wish to attend one of our events, you will be asked to provide your contact information including your organisation's name and, if offered a place, information about any dietary requirements or access provisions you may need. We may also ask for payment if there is a charge to attend.

Why we need it?

We use this information to facilitate the event and provide you with an acceptable service. We also need this information so we can respond to you.

What we do with it?

If you are not successful in securing a place, we'll let you know and hold your details on a reserve list in case a place becomes available.

If you are allocated places at an event, we'll ask for information about any dietary/access requirements. We don't share this information in any identifiable way with the venue, and we delete it after the event.

We don't publish delegate lists for events.

How long we keep it?

For information about how long we hold personal data, we are currently finalising a retention schedule to make it clearer.

What are your rights?

We rely on your consent to process the personal data you give us to facilitate the event. This means you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. If you do that, we’ll update our records immediately to reflect your wishes.

For more information on your rights, please see https://ico.org.uk/global/privacy-notice/your-data-protection-rights/

Do we use any data processors?

Yes: we use data processors to help facilitate the events, including the venue who may need to use a list for health and safety reasons.

We may sometimes charge a fee to attend an event. If this happens, our communications about the event will provide details of the data processor we use to collect payments.
