Mailing Lists

As part of the marketing campaign, we collect personal information. We use that information for several reasons: to tell you about our products and services; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check our records are right and to check every now and then that you’re happy and satisfied. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other organisations and businesses.

Registration / Booking Data

When you register to attend an event or purchase a booth space through Event Partners Ltd (EP), your name, address data, email and contact number will be stored in our registration system and CRM Salesforce platform. Please be assured that we do not share your personal details with any other company without your consent.

Sharing Information

We use other companies, agents or contractors (“Service Providers”) to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of services to you. For example, we may engage Service Providers to provide market research, marketing (including competitions), advertising, communications, event management (including logistics, health and safety and audio-visual services), meetings and bookings (including accommodation), training, IT, hosting and other infrastructure, subscription and discount management, payment processing, and data cleansing and processing services. While providing such services, these Service Providers may have access to your personal information. These partners are contractually bound only to use personal information to perform the services that we hire them to provide. We will ensure that all the Service Providers we work with will keep your personal data secure.

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties:

• • With partners who help manage our business and deliver services. These partners have agreed to confidentiality restrictions and use any personal information we share with them or which they collect on our behalf solely for providing the contracted service to us. These include: IT service providers, customer relationship management services and marketing automation, solutions and analytics providers;

• • We may share delegate information including company name and job title to improve attendee experience and confidence of the event. No email or telephone address will be made public.

• • We may share in aggregate, statistical form, non-personal information regarding the visitor to our website, traffic patterns, and website usage with our partners or affiliates

• • If 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 are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce our terms and conditions or other agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of GTM.

• • If you choose to allow your badge to be scanned at an event, we may pass the information you provide to a partner. Generally, this will be via a process whereby you, as the user, visit or interact with a partner e.g. visit a booth at an exhibition or have your badge scanned. In some instances, for example, a networking listing site, you may reach out directly to a supplier or exhibitor who may contact you in return. In other instances, our virtual products are sponsored and, in such cases the data you provided to us will be given to the sponsor. Generally, we will let you know at the time of collection if a product is sponsored. If you wish to change your contact preferences with an individual exhibitor/sponsor, please follow their own unsubscribe request details. Unsubscribing with GTM will stop us contacting you in the future, but not the individual partner whom you have interacted with independently.
