When you are signing up for our event, we may ask you to fill in special form of event registration where you provide us with your personal data.

If you will decide to attend our events, during the events we may photograph and/or make video, sound recordings of you. We use this media in our website, social networks or other communication.

Under request of attendee of the event, we share the list of attendees which contains the following information about attendees: name, surname, position and organization represented.

Normally we are organizing events together with our co-operation partners, therefore, we may share personal data with each other by ensuring security of transferred personal data. We also may disclose data to our co-operation partners who do marketing and arrange campaigns and events with and on behalf of us, and who consider themselves as controllers instead of processors working on our behalf (these parties are e.g. social media operators and advertisement networks). Otherwise we do not disclose data to external parties unless required by the laws or an order by the authorities.

We utilize subcontractors that process personal data on behalf of and for us. We have outsourced our IT management to outside service providers on whose administrated and protected servers the personal data is stored.

We may transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA as a part of our operations. When we transfer personal data, we make sure that the personal data in question is appropriately protected and as required by the privacy legislation in force at the time by using the European Commission standard contractual clauses or by ensuring the data importer belongs to the Privacy Shield system.
