PrivacyPolicy

We collect only the data needed to run the Forum and the Site. This includes:

• Registration details you provide: full name, email address, mobile number, job title, employer, attendee category and, optionally, how you heard about the Forum.
• Your declarations and preferences: confirmation that your information is accurate, acceptance of this policy, acknowledgement of filming at the Forum, consent to marketing messages, and your preferred language of correspondence.
• Technical data collected automatically when you browse: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.
• Correspondence you send us by email, including its contents and your contact details.

Personal data is used for the following purposes:

• Reviewing and processing registrations, and confirming or declining participation.
• Issuing attendee badges and QR codes, and managing entry to the venue.
• Sending service messages about your registration, the programme, and changes to the Forum.
• Sending news and invitations about the Forum and the Office’s future events, only where you have agreed to receive them.
• Protecting the Site against spam, automated abuse and security threats.
• Understanding how the Site is used so that it can be improved.
• Meeting legal and regulatory obligations.

The Forum is covered by photographers and video crews. Images and recordings of attendees, speakers and sessions may be published on the Site, on the Office’s official social media accounts and through media partners.

If you have a concern about a specific image in which you appear, please contact us using the details below and we will review your request.

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember your language preference and measure visits. Analytics is provided by Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which collect aggregated information about how visitors use the Site.

The registration form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which assesses whether a submission is made by a person. Embedded videos are served by YouTube. These services are subject to Google’s own privacy policy.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work as intended if you do.

The Office does not sell personal data. Data may be shared only where necessary with:

• Service providers that host the Site, manage registrations or send emails on the Office’s behalf, under obligations to protect the data.
• Government entities and competent authorities where required by law, or for security and entry arrangements at the venue.
• Forum partners, only where you have given separate consent for that purpose.

Personal data is kept only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or for any longer period required by applicable law. It is then deleted or anonymised.

The Office applies appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration or disclosure. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and access is limited to authorised personnel.

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to:

• Access the personal data held about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Delete your data where it is no longer needed.
• Withdraw your consent to marketing messages at any time, using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.

The Site links to external websites and social media platforms. The Office is not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.

The Office may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be published on this page and take effect on publication. Please review this page periodically.
