We collect information about you when you provide personal data to us (either directly, or via our contractors who support us with the EI Live! show), and when we collect your personal data from other sources. Our staff are employees of ATM, and the company are controllers of your personal data.  In this notice, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ refer to the company controllers.

We have appointed a Data Protection Manager and you can address your data protection requests, questions or comments to that person, via david@allthingsmedialtd.com.

(Incidents and accidents will be handled and logged primarily by the third party who provides the venue for EI Live!, but as the provider of the show we may wish to keep our own records.)

Depending on which of our services you use and how you interact with us, we may also collect, use and retain in our records some or all of the following personal data about you (although this is not an exhaustive list):

1. a)    information that you need to provide when you acquire or use our services (this information may include name, postal address, telephone numbers, email address);

(including if you contact us to exercise any of your rights under UK data protection law) and any other information you have given to EI Live! e.g. customer feedback forms, company documents, brand tool kits, financial information, marketing plans.

UK data protection law recognises ‘special categories of data’, a list of types of personal data and personal data usage that are subject to special protection under those laws. The types are: personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership; use of genetic data or biometric data to uniquely identify an individual; data concerning health; or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation. We do not normally collect or use special categories of data but we may keep records which including data concerning your health if you need medical assistance, or have an accident, at EI Live!.

We may aggregate your personal data that we collect, with other information which may be provided by other sources, such as our contractors who support us in relation to EI Live!, our agents, and members of our group of organisations (and their owners). We use aggregated data for statistical analysis, to improve and understand how exhibitors at and visitors to the show use our services (or the services of any member of our group of organisations or its owners), and to report on these matters to our stakeholders.

When we aggregate data, what we produce and use is statistical data. It may originate from your personal data, but it contains no information that can be used to identify you, so it is no longer personal data.

How we use personal data (and our legal bases)

We will use your personal data in the following ways:

(a)   To provide our services to you, in preparation for the EI Live! and your attendance at it, as well as during the show;

(b)   To record your attendances at EI Live!;

(c)   (if you allow any exhibitor to scan your visitor badge at their stand) to record your attendance at any exhibitor’s stand;

(d)   To keep in touch with you and inform you about future EI Live! events;

(e)   To arrange for advertising about the show to be presented to you online when you use social networks that you are a member of (this is arranged directly with the social network provider, and you are identified to them by your email address, which we or our providers supply to them);

(e)   To create aggregated data for statistical purposes (see above for details).

We will rely on the following legal bases for using your personal data:

1. a)   Consent: we rely on your consent to use your personal data for the following purposes:

• For sharing your personal data with other organisations in our group, for their marketing purposes.
• For sharing your personal data with our event sponsors, with exhibitors or with other relevant third parties for the purposes of them sending you direct marketing by email or post.
• For us contacting you by telephone as part of our marketing of the event, if you are a subscriber to the Telephone Preference Service.
• For other organisations in our group, our event sponsors, exhibitors or other relevant third parties contacting you by telephone, for the purposes of their own direct marketing, if you are a subscriber to the Telephone Preference Service.
• For us contacting you by email as part of our marketing of the Show, whether or not you have attended the Show before, unless we are able to rely on the email opt-in described below.

1. b)   For example, we are required to try and ensure that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up to date, so we may rely on this legal basis for us (or our contractors, on our behalf) to contact you from time to time in order to check the accuracy of the personal data.
2. c)   Legitimate interests: we rely on this when use of your personal data is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of our clients, event sponsors, members of our group of organisations or its owners, our partners or other stakeholders, unless there is a good reason to protect the individual’s personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.  We rely on legitimate interests to use your personal data in particular for the following purposes:

• Preparing for the show, and holding the show, with our contractors’ help.  It is in our legitimate interests to do this, because it is commercially and operationally normal for event providers to use contractors.  We list our main types of contractors below.
• If you allow any exhibitor to scan your attendance badge. We will arrange for your contact details to be provided (by us or our contractors) to the exhibitor so that they can follow up with you. It is in our legitimate interests to do so, because we inform you in this notice, and by notices which are provided in the registration area at the entrance to the event, that your contact details will be shared in this way if you allow your badge to be scanned.  As you are informed, you have the option of deciding not to allow your badge to be scanned.
• For using your personal data for statistical, feedback review, event change/ improvement, and reporting purposes (as described above). It is in our legitimate interests to do so, because we use specially prepared data that does not identify you. (We statistically review and report on trends, such as the geographical spread or sectors that are represented by our exhibitors, and the number of exhibitors in each such cohort.) Our use of your personal data in this way is unlikely to have any impact on you.
• For using your personal data for online advertising. It is in our legitimate interests to do so, because it is commercially normal for event providers to advertise online (including within social networks) to raise awareness, bookings and attendance for the event, and you will only receive our advert if you are an active user of our chosen social network(s) and your user and browser settings permit advertising to be presented to you. We inform you about it in this notice and when you register for the event, so if you object to the advertising you can stop it at any time. Object by contacting david@allthingsmedialtd.com . Your social network providers are independent controllers and should provide you with their own Privacy Notices like this one. You may need to contact them, in their capacity as controllers, instead of (or as well as) the show if you object to the advertising.

1. d)   Informed opt-in for email marketing: if we do not have your consent to contact you by email as part of our marketing of the show and similar services, and you have previously applied for or attended EI Live! or used any of our services, as part of your registration you will have been informed that we would like to send you direct marketing by email about our similar services. When we inform you, and each time we email you, we give you an easy method of unsubscribing from the emails. In these circumstances, it is lawful for us to send you such emails, and we will continue to send you them until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time by contacting david@allthingsmedialtd.com
2. e)   Vital interests: if it is necessary for us to use your personal data to protect you or any other individual(s), for example where there is a significant risk of serious injury or death.

We do not collect or use special categories of data. As such, we do not state here any legal bases for using those types of personal data.

You can contact our Data Protection Manager, via david@allthingsmedialtd.com , at any time to ask for details of the policies that we apply to make the update or deletion decision.
