We recognise the importance of safeguarding personal data and are committed to handling it responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store and otherwise process personal information when you interact with Dez10 Events through our websites, digital platforms, events, communications, products or services. This Privacy Policy applies to all conferences, exhibitions, summits, forums, awards programmes, networking events, webinars, training programmes, business meetings, digital experiences and any other products or services organised, managed or delivered by Dez10 Events, unless a separate privacy policy is expressly provided. By accessing our websites, registering for our events, engaging with our services or otherwise interacting with Dez10 Events, you acknowledge that your personal information may be collected and processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

 

SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected, processed or stored by Dez10 Events in connection with our business activities. It applies regardless of whether you interact with us online, in person, by telephone, by email, through social media, via third-party platforms or through any other communication channel. This Policy applies to individuals including, but not limited to, event attendees, delegates, visitors, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, partners, suppliers, contractors, service providers, media representatives, job applicants, website visitors and any other individuals who engage with Dez10 Events. Where additional privacy notices are provided for specific services or activities, those notices should be read together with this Privacy Policy.

 

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Dez10 Events collects and processes personal information only where it is reasonably necessary for the operation of our business, the delivery of our products and services, the management of our relationships with customers and partners, compliance with legal obligations, or for other legitimate business purposes. The information we collect may include personal identification information, professional and business information, contact details, communication preferences, registration details, payment and billing information, event participation records, marketing preferences, survey responses, photographs, audio and video recordings, technical information relating to your use of our websites and digital platforms, and any other information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is otherwise lawfully obtained. We may also collect information automatically through our websites and digital services, including device information, browser information, IP addresses, website usage data, cookies, analytics information and similar technologies that help us understand how our websites and services are used. In some circumstances, we may receive information from third parties, including employers, event partners, sponsors, exhibitors, service providers, publicly available sources, professional networking platforms and other organisations that assist in the delivery of our services. We request that the information you provide to us is accurate, complete and kept reasonably up to date. If you provide personal information on behalf of another individual, you confirm that you have the necessary authority to do so. Dez10 Events takes reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information it processes is accurate, complete and, where appropriate, kept up to date. We encourage individuals to notify us if their personal information changes or requires correction so that our records remain accurate and current.

 

HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect personal information in a variety of ways depending on how you interact with Dez10 Events. Information may be collected directly from you when you register for an event, complete an online form, subscribe to our communications, contact us with an enquiry, enter into a commercial relationship, participate in surveys, apply to become a speaker, sponsor, exhibitor or partner, or otherwise communicate with us. We may also collect information during your participation in our events and services, including through registration systems, networking activities, meetings, event access technologies, customer service interactions, feedback forms, and other methods used to facilitate the delivery and improvement of our services. In addition, we may collect information automatically when you visit our websites or interact with our digital platforms through cookies, analytics technologies and similar tools that help us understand how our websites are used and how we can improve the user experience. We may also obtain personal information from third parties where appropriate, including employers, colleagues, business partners, sponsors, exhibitors, publicly available sources, professional networking platforms, service providers and organisations that work with us in connection with our events and services. Where information is provided by a third party, we expect that the individual or organisation providing the information has the appropriate authority to do so.

 

HOW WE UAE YOUR INFORMATION

Dez10 Events uses personal information to operate, manage and improve our business, our events and the services we provide. The information we collect enables us to communicate effectively with our customers and stakeholders, deliver high-quality experiences, develop new services, maintain business relationships and fulfil our contractual, legal and operational responsibilities. We may use personal information to process registrations, administer attendance, facilitate participation in our events and services, verify identities where appropriate, provide customer support, communicate important updates, manage speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, partners and suppliers, arrange meetings and networking opportunities, process transactions, respond to enquiries and fulfil our contractual obligations. Your information may also be used to communicate with you about upcoming events, industry news, products, services, educational content, surveys, research initiatives and other opportunities that may be relevant to your professional interests. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before sending marketing communications, and you may opt out of receiving such communications at any time. We may analyse personal information to better understand the needs and interests of our audiences, improve our websites and digital platforms, measure the effectiveness of our marketing activities, evaluate event performance, identify trends, develop new products and services, and enhance the overall customer experience. We may also process personal information to maintain the security and integrity of our websites, systems and events, detect and prevent fraud or unauthorised activity, investigate complaints, enforce our terms and conditions, comply with legal and regulatory obligations, establish or defend legal claims, and protect the rights, property and safety of Dez10 Events, our customers, our partners and other individuals. Where appropriate, we may use aggregated, statistical or anonymised information for reporting, research, business planning, benchmarking and analytical purposes. Such information does not identify individual persons.

 

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Where required by applicable law, Dez10 Events will process personal information only where there is an appropriate legal basis for doing so. Depending on the circumstances, we may process personal information where it is necessary to provide the products or services you have requested, to perform or enter into a contract, to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, to protect the legitimate interests of Dez10 Events or third parties, where you have provided your consent, or where processing is otherwise permitted under applicable law. Where we rely on your consent to process personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

 

SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

In order to operate our business and deliver our events and services, it may be necessary for Dez10 Events to share personal information with carefully selected third parties. We only share personal information where it is appropriate for legitimate business purposes, where it is necessary to provide our services, where you have requested or authorised such sharing, or where we are otherwise permitted or required to do so under applicable law. Depending on the nature of your interaction with us, personal information may be shared with our affiliated companies, business partners, sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, venues, event suppliers, logistics providers, technology providers, registration and ticketing platforms, payment processors, cloud service providers, marketing and communications platforms, customer relationship management systems, professional advisers, insurers, auditors, financial institutions, legal advisers, contractors and other organisations that assist us in operating our business and delivering our services. Where you choose to engage with a sponsor, exhibitor, business partner or other third party during one of our events or through one of our services, including by requesting information, arranging a meeting, participating in a sponsored activity or permitting your event credentials to be scanned, your personal information may be shared with that organisation to facilitate your request or interaction. Once shared, the receiving organisation may process your information in accordance with its own privacy practices and policies. We may also disclose personal information where required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders or lawful requests from governmental, regulatory or law enforcement authorities, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, safety or legitimate interests of Dez10 Events or other individuals. In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, financing transaction, sale of assets or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards.

 

INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSGERS

As an international event organiser, Dez10 Events works with individuals, organisations and service providers located in various countries and regions around the world. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, stored in or accessed from jurisdictions other than the country in which it was originally collected. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. These safeguards may include contractual obligations, organisational measures, technical security controls or other legally recognised mechanisms designed to protect personal information during international transfers. By engaging with Dez10 Events and using our services, you acknowledge that your personal information may be processed in countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

 

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

Dez10 Events may use your personal information to provide you with information about our events, products, services, industry insights, publications, promotional campaigns, surveys and other communications that we believe may be relevant to your professional interests. Marketing communications may be delivered through a variety of channels, including email, telephone, text messaging, social media, digital advertising, postal mail or other communication methods, where permitted by applicable law. Where required, we will obtain your consent before sending marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent or update your communication preferences at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in our communications or by contacting us directly. Please note that even if you choose not to receive marketing communications, we may still send you important administrative or service-related communications relating to your registrations, purchases, contractual relationships, enquiries or other interactions with Dez10 Events.

INFORMATION SECURITY

Dez10 Events is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the personal information we collect and process. We implement appropriate technical, organisational and administrative measures designed to safeguard personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse or destruction. Access to personal information is limited to individuals who require such access for legitimate business purposes and who are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations. We regularly review our processes and procedures to help maintain the security of our systems, websites and services and to reduce the risk of unauthorised access or misuse. While we take reasonable precautions to protect personal information, no method of electronic transmission, storage or processing can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and information provided to us is transmitted at your own risk. Where we become aware of a security incident affecting personal information, we will assess the circumstances and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

 

DATA RETENTION

Dez10 Events retains personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, managing our business operations, maintaining our relationship with you, complying with contractual obligations, resolving disputes, protecting our legal interests and meeting applicable legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. The period for which personal information is retained may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected and the applicable legal or operational requirements. Once personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our internal policies and applicable laws. In certain circumstances, we may retain information for longer periods where necessary to comply with legal obligations, enforce our rights, resolve disputes, conduct audits or maintain historical business records.

We will consider all requests in accordance with applicable laws and may decline a request where we are legally entitled or required to do so. If you wish to exercise any of your privacy rights or have questions regarding the way your personal information is processed, you may contact Dez10 Events using the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
