Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 25 April 2024

NexConnect Hub (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with all applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you register for our events (“Events”).

Information We Collect

When you register for an Event, we may collect the following personal information:

• Name

• Job Title

• Company Name

• Email Address

• Phone Number

• Industry

Legal Basis for Processing

We will only process your personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so. The lawful basis for processing your information will depend on the specific purpose for which we are using it. In most cases, the lawful basis for processing your information will be:

• Contractual Necessity: To process your Event registration and send you important updates about the Event. This is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you.

• Legitimate Interests: To share your information with prospective sponsors only if you consent. Sponsors may use this information to contact you directly about relevant products or services. We consider our legitimate interest in providing a valuable event experience for attendees, which includes connecting them with potential business partners, balanced against your privacy rights.

Sharing Your Information with Sponsors

With your explicit consent, we may share your contact information (name, email address, and company name) with prospective sponsors of the Event. These sponsors may then contact you directly to offer products or services that may be interested in.

You can choose to withdraw your consent for sharing your information with sponsors at any time during the registration process or by contacting us (see “Contact Us” below).

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information, including:

• The right to access your personal information

• The right to rectification (correction) of inaccurate personal information

• The right to erasure (deletion) of your personal information

• The right to restrict processing of your personal information

• The right to data portability (obtaining a copy of your information in a machine-readable format)

• The right to object to processing of your personal information

You can exercise any of these rights by contacting us (see “Contact Us” below).

Data Retention

We will retain your information for a reasonable period after the Event, as needed to fulfill the purposes described above, unless you request that we delete your information. We will also consider legal and regulatory requirements when determining how long to retain your information.

Sharing of Information

We may share your information with third-party service providers who help us organize and run the Events. We will only share your information with service providers who have entered into a written agreement with us and who agree to our strict data protection standards. These service providers will only process your information for the purposes we have instructed them to do and will be required to implement appropriate security measures to protect your information.

Security

We take all reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as encryption and access controls. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Privacy Policy on our website and notify you by email if there are any material changes.

You can also lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK or your local supervisory authority in the EU if you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information.
