The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as read with the UK GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018, give individuals in the European Union and the UK enhanced rights over the use of their personal data. Under the UK GDPR, we are required to give you certain information, including your rights when you provide us with your personal data.
Contract
If you subscribe to attend one of our conferences or other events, we will ask you for a minimal amount of personal data to enable us to process your booking, to keep you informed of any developments concerning your attendance at the conference or event and for administration purposes. Our legal basis for processing your personal data for these purposes is contractual (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

If you opt-in to receiving marketing information about our events and/or related services, you are giving us your explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR to process your personal data for these specific purposes. This consent can be withdrawn at any time.
In some cases, you will have given consent for your data to be shared with a third party for marketing or other purposes and you would have been referred to that third party’s privacy policy.
Legitimate interests
We retain third-party research services to identify appropriate persons at companies and other organisations who we feel, given their position and role, may be interested in, or benefit from, receiving details of our future conferences or other services.
These researchers obtain the details of such persons from publicly-available information on the internet. The legal basis on which we process personal data and communicate with data subjects in these circumstances is our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) of GDPR.
In conducting our legitimate interests’ assessment, consideration was given to the following:
- The amount of personal data processed is minimal;
- The data is publicly available and is not sensitive in any way;
- The relationship is business to business and relevant to the job title;
- There is minimal privacy risk;
- There is no viable alternative means of communication;
- The processing is vital to our business operations;
- The data subjects are senior business people who would mostly be interested in the services we offer;
- There is a simple opt-out facility.
On balance, we concluded that the processing is justified as it is vital to our business interests while having a minimal impact on the rights and freedoms of data subjects.
