We use your Personal Information only for providing and improving the Site. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
While using our Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to your name (“Personal Information”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED
As is true of most digital platforms, we and our third-party providers and partners collect certain personal information automatically when you visit, interact with, or use our Service:

Log Data: Including your internet protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser details such as type, ID, and configuration, unique identifiers, device type and version, the referring URL, date/time of your visit, the time you spent on our services and any errors that may occur during your visit to our Services.

We may also analyse the interaction between you and your customer using our Services.

Location Data: Including your general geographic location based on the IP address we collect.

We and our third-party providers may use (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual’s computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies (collectively, “cookies”) to automatically collect this personal information.

COOKIES
Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

Like many sites, we use “cookies” to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.

COMMUNICATIONS
We use your name and email address to send you (or the organisation you represent) marketing communications by email. We may use your mobile telephone number to send you marketing communications by SMS/MMS. Our email and SMS/MMS marketing communications will include press releases, information, thought pieces, articles and details for events, as well as general information about our organisation, our Site, our US offices, the Services we provide and the events and promotions we offer.

We may share your personal information with a variety of this party email or text message marketing providers (including Klaviyo) who assist us in delivering our email marketing campaigns, newsletters, event invites and other mass emails or text messages to you.

Our legal basis for processing: Where data that we process is anonymised, we do not require a legal basis to use it as the information does not constitute personal data. However, our collection and use of such anonymised information may be subject to other laws where your consent is required. Please see our Cookie Policy for further details.

Where your personal data is not in an anonymous form (for example, your email address), it is in our legitimate interest to use your personal data for postal marketing purposes.

We will only send you marketing communications by email where you have consented to receive such communications, or where we have another lawful right to send such communications to you.

HOSTING AND MANAGING EVENTS
From time to time, we may organise and host events. We may process your name and contact information (including email address, postal address and telephone number) to communicate with you about such events where you have specifically requested information about such events or where we have another lawful basis for sending that information to you.

If you attend one of our events, we may use your personal data to record your attendance at the event and for related record-keeping purposes and, if relevant, we may collect and process any dietary requirements you may have. You may also feature in photographs taken at our events and such photographs may appear in publications that we make available.

Our legal basis for processing: It is necessary for us to use your personal data in this way to perform our obligations in accordance with any contract that we may have with you where you have signed up to attend an event, or it is in our legitimate interest or a third party’s legitimate interest to use personal data in such a way to ensure that the event is operated in an effective way.

We may specifically ask your permission to use your photographs, quotes, testimonials, or other content that you make available or publish at the event. Where this is the case, our processing of your personal data will be based on consent.

SECURITY
The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
