This Privacy Policy applies to both individuals and companies who might be legitimately interested in Global Insight Conferences’ events.

Why We Process Your Data
We may process your data for a number of different purposes:

  • To invite you to any of our latest, relevant events we are producing.
  • To administer any event delegate booking, exhibition or sponsorship package you have purchased from us.
  • To collect your feedback and opinion.

Our Lawful Basis For Processing Your Data
It is in Global Insight Conferences legitimate business interest to keep its customers, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors and contacts informed of our latest content, products and services and to manage and administer their purchases.

We process customer data and use direct marketing as part of this legitimate interest. It is necessary for us to use a variety of direct marketing channels (including email, mail and telephone) and messages to ensure our contacts are kept informed, and wherever possible we make sure the messages we send are targeted and relevant.

We will keep your data safely and securely for as long as necessary or according to your instructions, and we review the data we hold at least once every three years. For more information about how we store your data, please contact us directly.

In particular you could expect to receive from us:

  • An email inviting you to attend one of our future, relevant events.

What Type Of Data Do We Collect?
Global Insight Conferences will only use your personal data to contact you in a way in which we believe you might reasonably expect and which will have no impact on your privacy. We use personal data in a way that our contacts would see as reasonable for business-to-business purposes. However, we will always give you the option to stop receiving communication from us and as such we use “legitimate interests” as our legal basis for making contact.

We collect and use personal information in order to provide the best possible service. When you register on our website, register for one of our events or sponsor one of our events, we will simply collect the non-sensitive information you would expect a B2B supplier to request. For example, we will ask for your:

  • Name
  • Job title
  • Email address and telephone number
  • Postal address
  • Organisation name
  • The industry you work in
  • If you register as a delegate or sponsor, we may collect other data about you depending on what you decide to sign up for including payment details, if you choose to pay by card.

Third Party Data
We sometimes collect the information listed above about you indirectly from marketing list vendors.
