We use third party agencies, data research companies and our own internal team to actively identify people who we believe are likely to find our events, services products useful. Our team and our third party researchers look for and source business contact details and information about an individual’s job role both online (using publicly available resources and websites), through networking activities and from details collected from previous event attendees, newsletter subscribers and users of our products.

We use those business contact details to send event invites and emails about relevant industry news. We always include an unsubscribe link at the bottom of any such email which we send, so that you can let us know if you do not wish to receive any further marketing emails.

Our lawful basis for using personal data in this way is that it is necessary to protect our legitimate interest of promoting our business, developing new customers and to inform our marketing strategy.

We collect, use and store personal data relating to third parties such as details about the directors, shareholders, stakeholders and professional advisors of certain companies in order to provide certain services. Data of this type is collected and processed both internally by our researchers and by third parties agencies on our behalf. Our researchers and agencies may contact relevant individuals directly to obtain information as well as using publicly available websites, LinkedIn, regulatory filings, company registries and news articles. We use this information to write profiles, articles, blogs and reports which are then published for the benefit of our subscribers (who may be based outside the EEA) via a searchable database or in a newsletter. We process data in this way in order to protect our legitimate interests of developing our products/services and growing our business and to present financial service journalism.

Processing of this type may be carried out in order to protect our legitimate interest in recovering such a debt.

Analytics

We use data analytics to monitor and improve our websites, products/services, marketing, customer relationship management and user experiences Wherever possible when carrying out this type of analytical work we anonymise all personal data. In certain circumstances however, cases arise whereby we need to process personal data in order to achieve the objectives of our analytical processing. Where we do so we are protecting our legitimate interests of defining the types of customers for our products and services, keeping our websites, services and products updated and relevant, developing our business and to inform our marketing strategy.

We operate CCTV systems at these premises in order to protect our legitimate interests of protecting the personal safety of staff, visitors and other members of the public, to act as a deterrent against crime and to prevent crime and protect our assets from damage, disruption, vandalism and other crime.

 

Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures at organisational, technical, physical and operational levels to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, altered, disclosed or accessed in an unauthorised way. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

 

International transfers of personal data

We share a parent company with the With Intelligence group (us, such parent and the With Intelligence companies being the “Wider Group”).  As the Wider Group has a number of offices outside of the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA) your personal data may be transferred outside of the UK and the EEA. We ensure your personal data is protected by ensuring that all members of the Wider Group are bound by agreements approved by the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) as providing appropriate safeguards for restricted transfers.

We also work with a number of third party outsourcers based outside of the UK and/or EEA, including providers of research services, IT support, technology and website development agencies. From time to time we may need to transfer certain personal data to these parties in accordance with the terms of this privacy statement.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK or the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  1. a) Where the recipient is located in a country that has been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK government (for transfers from the UK) or the European Commission (for transfers from the EEA); or
  2. b) Using agreements approved by the ICO as providing appropriate safeguards for restricted transfers.

 

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

In addition to disclosure to the Wider Group, we may disclose any personal data that we hold to certain third parties who are contracted to help us provide our products and services (some of whom may be based outside the EEA). Any such third parties will be acting as processors on our behalf and will be contractually bound to only use the data in accordance with our instructions and to implement adequate security measures. The data will only be transferred by us to a third party if appropriate contractually binding safeguards are implemented between us and the processor. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with all applicable law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and we only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

We may share also personal data with third parties (who will also be acting as controllers in respect of that personal data) if we:

  1. a) have a legal duty to do so or if it is required to enforce or apply our contracts or to protect legal rights, our property, the use and functionality of our websites or the safety of us or others; and
  2. b) sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or our assets. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners will only be entitled to use personal data in accordance with the provisions set out in this privacy notice.

 

Data retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we believe there is a reasonable prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

By law we must keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘Your rights’ below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be used to identify you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your rights

If we hold data about you, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and data protection legislation in respect of the personal data which we hold. This includes the:

(a) Right to be informed: you have a right to ask us what personal data we collect and what we use it for;

(b) Right of access: you have a right to request a copy of any personal data that we hold about you. We will respond to your request within one month;

(c) Right of rectification: you have a right to require us to correct any personal data held about you which is inaccurate or incomplete. We will rectify any errors you highlight to us within one month;

(d) Right of erasure: also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’ – in certain circumstances, you have a right to have the personal data held about you erased from our records. Valid requests will be actioned within a month;

(e) Right to restriction processing: you have a right to request us to restrict the processing carried out in respect of personal data relating to you;

(f) Right of data portability: you have a right in certain circumstances to request that the personal data held by us about you transferred to another organisation;

(h) Right to object to automated decision making and profiling: you have a right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing which produces legal or similar significant effects on you.

Given the nature of the services we provide in certain situations we may be able to rely on certain exemptions under the GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. These exemptions may mean we have a right to refuse requests for disclosure of information, erasure requests and rectification requests and exempt us from some notification obligations.

We will confirm to you in writing to acknowledge receipt of any request we receive relating to your rights as a data subject, and we will let you know if we have complied with your request. If having, carried out an assessment, we believe we have an overriding reason for resisting your request, we will let you know why we have reached that conclusion.
