USES MADE OF YOUR INFORMATION

Lawful basis for processing

Where we process your personal data in connection with your attendance at an event, we rely on “legitimate interest” as the lawful basis on which We collect and use your personal data. We require your personal data to manage your attendance at our events and to ensure that they run smoothly. Networking is a key function of our events and it is a requirement on all attendees that their name, job title and employer are included on a list of expected attendees prior to and at the event, and subsequently to publish their name, job title and employer after they have actually attend each event on Our website.

We also rely on “legitimate interest” as the lawful basis on which We collect and use personal data for marketing and promotion of our business and to keep records relating to your attendance at past events so that we can improve your experience at future events.

We rely on “performance of a contract with the data subject” as the lawful basis on which We collect and use personal data of any sub-contractors that we engage.

Purposes of processing

We use information held about you in the following ways:

  • To notify you about our events and other services that we believe may be of interest to you.
  • To arrange and manage our events.
  • To provide you with our services.
  • To provide you with information and offers that you request from us.
  • To allow you to participate in networking with other attendees of our events, when you choose to do so.
  • To provide a list of attendees, which is circulated to other attendees and prospective attendees in advance of each relevant event.
  • To provide a list of guests who attended our events on our website after each event.
  • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and Us and between Us and our other event attendees.
  • To notify you about changes to our services.

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We disclose your personal data to:

  • third party service providers and subcontractors for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf, including but not limited to providing services at our events and storing, protecting and securing your personal data;
  • other attendees and prospective attendees of the events that you register to attend;
  • the public, where you have attended an event and your name, job title and employer name is included on the list of attendees published on our website after each event. This information will be available on our website for 5 years from the date of the event attended

We may disclose your personal information to any member of our group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries, as defined in section 1159 of the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties:

  • If required to by the operators of a venue that you are attending for security or health and safety reasons;
  • in the event that We sell or buy any business or assets, in which case We may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets;
  • if We or substantially all of our assets are acquired by a third party, in which case personal data held by Us about you will be one of the transferred assets;
  • if We are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation, or in order to enforce or apply any other agreements between us;
  • to protect the rights, property, or safety of Entrepreneur Bootcamp Limited, our members and guests and any third party We interact with to provide the services.

Other than as set out above and save insofar as is necessary in order for Us to carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and Us, We will not share your data with third parties unless We have procured your express consent to do so.

STORING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Security

We take appropriate measures to ensure that any personal data are kept secure including security measures to prevent personal data from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal data to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality. Where We process payment transactions, these will be encrypted using SSL technology.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where We are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although We will do our best to protect your personal data, We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our email accounts; any transmission is at your own risk. Once We have received your information, We will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Keeping your personal data up to date

If your personal details change, you may update them by contacting us using the contact details below. If you have any questions about how We use data collected that relates to you, please contact us by sending a request by email to the contact details below.

We will endeavour to update your personal data within seven (7) working days of any new or updated personal data being provided to Us, in order to ensure that the personal data We hold about you is as accurate and up to date as possible.

How long we keep your personal data

  • If you have attended an event, We will hold your name, job title, employer name, event(s) attended and related details, contact details and related correspondence for 10 years from the date of the last event you attended
  • If you have been invited to an event and not attended, We will hold your name, job title, employer name, event(s) invited to, contact details and related correspondence for 18 months from the date of the last communication received from you or sent to you
  • Where you have provided a postal address to claim a physical item in respect of an offer, we will hold your data for 14 days after the item has been dispatched.

Where we store your personal data

All information We hold about you is stored on secure servers within the UK and/or EEA.

The data that We collect from you may be accessed from destinations outside the United Kingdom and/or European Economic Area (“EEA”) for the purposes of processing. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy.

Countries outside the EEA do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. Whilst the European Commission has not given a formal decision that such countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar to those which apply in the United Kingdom and EEA, any transfer of your personal data will be subject to a European Commission approved contract (as permitted under Article 46(5) of the General Data Protection Regulation) or other protective measures approved by the European Commission and designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal data. To obtain a copy of such safeguards or if you would like further information please contact Us (see ‘Contact’ below). We will not otherwise transfer your personal data outside of the United Kingdom OR EEA or to any organisation (or subordinate bodies) governed by public international law or which is set up under any agreement between two or more countries.

HOW TO COMPLAIN
