Collection of Personal Information
How we collect personal information
We collect information from you when you register on our site, place an order, request information, respond to a survey, fill out a form or engage with us for communication purposes.
On the occasions when your company subscribes you to our membership services on your behalf the process of collecting your personal information is as follows:
1) Your company sends you a web form or link to fill in to register for our membership services. The information asked usually includes first name, last name, email, telephone number, Company name and Country. Once you do this you will receive an email asking you to confirm that we have your permission to send the information requested. If you do not confirm your permission within a three-month period, then we will unsubscribe you and delete your contact details from our systems.
2) Your company registers you for our services on your behalf, providing us with a minimum of your first name, last name and email address. We then email you and ask that you complete a registration form with us directly. Once you do this you will receive an email asking to confirm that we have your permission to send the information requested. If you do not give us permission within a three month period, then we will unsubscribe you and delete your contact details from our systems.
In the instance that you do not complete the initial registration form at all within a three month period, then we delete all your details from our systems.
We will retain your data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes and thereafter as long as we are subject to a retention obligation.
