privacy statements. When you leave konfer, we encourage you to read the
privacy policy of every website you visit.

In addition, we may use pixels or transparent GIF files, to help manage
online advertising. Any information that we collect and share through such
means is anonymous; ‘anonymous data’, being data where the identity has been
removed.

2. THE DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Personal data, or personal information, means any information about an
individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include
‘anonymous data’, being data where the identity has been removed.

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data
about you which we have listed in the following categories of personal data
as follows:

* Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar
identifier, title, date of birth and gender.
* Contact Data includes work address, email address and telephone numbers.

messages from us and our third parties and our communicating with you.

We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or
demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your
personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will
not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may
aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of konfer’s users
accessing a specific feature. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated
Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify
you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this
includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical
beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union
membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data).
Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a
contract we have with you, and you fail to provide that data when requested,
we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter
into with you (for example, to provide you with services). In this case, we
may have to cancel the availability of a service to you, but we will notify
you if this is the case at the time.

3. HOW IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA COLLECTED?

We use different methods to collect data from and about you including
through:

* Third parties or publicly available sources.

We will receive personal data about you from various third parties and
public sources as set out below:

* Identity and Contact Data from publicly available sources such as (if
you are a researcher) ORCiD (based outside the EU), the webpages of UK
Universities, academic institutions (aligned to published research
works) and institutional repositories, and Gateway to Research (GtR) via
konfer’s interfaces with such organisations; other publicly available
sources such as Companies House and the Electoral Register (based inside
the EU).

* Technical Data from analytics providers such as Google based outside
the EU. We may in addition receive personal data about you from
advertising networks and

* search information providers.

* Contact Data from providers of technical services to konfer such as
Teamwork Desk (a support services ticket communications provider) based
inside the EU.

* Direct interactions with konfer.

Through your use of konfer, such as by completing forms or by

Identity and Contact Data.

This includes personal data you provide when you: create an account on

similar technologies. We may also receive Technical Data about you if you
visit other websites employing our cookies. Please see our cookie policy
HERE for further details.

4. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We will only use your personal data as permitted by law. Most commonly, we
will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

* Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third
party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those
interests.

* Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have
entered into with you.

* Where we need to comply with a legal obligation.

Each such circumstance is known as a "lawful basis" for processing personal
data and these three circumstances are explained more fully as follows:

A. Legitimate Interests means the interests of NCUB in operating and
managing konfer to provide the best services and secure experience and to
enable us to fulfil its purpose of being an open access registry of
researchers, research activity and businesses in the UK encouraging
collaboration between universities and business/industries so as to
stimulate knowledge exchange and the social/economic impact of academic
research. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on
you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your
personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal
data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on
you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted
to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our
legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of
specific activities by contacting us.

B. Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary
for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take
steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

C. Comply with a legal obligation means processing your personal data where
it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that we are
subject to.

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your
personal data. We will however seek your consent in specific cases, and in
any event before sending third party direct marketing communications to you
via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to
marketing at any time by contacting us.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE WILL USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

The Table below describes how we use your personal data, and which legal
basis we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate
interests are where appropriate.

Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful basis
depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please
contact us if you need details about the specific lawful basis we are
relying on to process your personal data where more than one basis has been
set out in the table below.

PROFILING & AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

Profiling: means “any form of automated processing of personal data to
evaluate certain things about an individual”:

Automated decision making: means “making a decision solely by automated
means without any person being involved” (and can involve profiling).

Profiling can be part of an automated decision making process.

konfer has been established to enhance engagement and collaboration between
businesses/industry entities and researchers/academia and to create a
transparent and fair platform that increases visibility and commercial
opportunities for researchers/academia with businesses/industry entities.

To maximise this benefit for all researchers and academic institutions and
for businesses we aim to create the UK’s leading registry of researchers and
their work and selected, relevant UK businesses which will enable that data
to be listed against search criteria. This will include academic
institution, research type and industry sector.

To achieve these outcomes for all interested parties and make available
konfer’s services we need to use your personal data to engage in profiling
and potentially in some (limited) automated decision making.

As we have set out in the Table above, the lawful basis upon which we carry
out this profiling is our legitimate interests. Because of this, you have
the right to object to processing of your personal data.

If you decide to do so or have any more questions on how we carry out the
profiling and automated decision making referred to, please contact us.

COMMUNICATIONS – CONNECTION REQUESTS

If you are a researcher, we may send you an email to broker communication
via konfer between you and another konfer user such as a university or
business in respect of a specific collaboration opportunity, or with
Innovate UK. We will identify such emails as ‘connection requests’. Such
connection requests do not constitute marketing or advertising on konfer’s
part. We will always seek to enable you to opt out of receiving any further
connection requests.

If you are a director of a business (company), we may send you an email in
your capacity as a representative of the company engaged in the business, to
broker communication via Konfer between the company and another Konfer user,
such as a university, in respect of a specific collaboration opportunity, or
with Innovate UK. We will identify such emails as ‘connection requests or
similarly’. Such communications do not constitute marketing or advertising
on Konfer’s part and, in any event, are sent to you solely as a
representative of the company concerned. We will always seek to enable you
to opt out of receiving any further connection requests.

MARKETING

We will always enable you to exercise choices regarding certain personal
data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising and deploy the
following mechanisms:

PROMOTIONAL OFFERS FROM US

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage and Profile Data to form
a view on what we think you may be looking for or need, or what may be of
interest to you. This is how we decide whether certain services konfer
offers may be relevant for you. Our presentation of these to you is referred
to as “marketing”.

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested
information from us, or have received specific services from us, and you
have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

THIRD-PARTY MARKETING

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data
with any third party for marketing purposes.

OPTING OUT

You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at
any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you
or by contacting us at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply
to personal data provided to us as a result of specific requests for or
acceptance of specific services from konfer, or a transaction that has taken
place between you and konfer or your experience of a service or product made
available by us.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert
you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies,
do note that some parts of the Site may become inaccessible or not function
properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected
it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason
and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get
an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible
with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will
notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or
consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or
permitted by law.

the European Commission and as recognised by the UK which give personal
data the same protection it has in the UK and in relation to which such
service providers have adopted applicable binding corporate rules and/or
standard contractual clauses. For further details,
seehttps://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/international-transfers-after-uk-exit/sccs-after-transition-period/

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism
used by us when transferring your personal data out of the UK.

7. DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal
data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way,
altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to
those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a
business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our
instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

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

8. DATA RETENTION

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL DATA FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary
to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of
satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.
We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a
complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in
respect to our relationship with you. We may also keep your personal data
for a longer period where processing only for archiving purposes in the
public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical
purposes and in accordance with the storage limitation principle under
applicable law.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider
the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk
of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the
purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve
those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory,
tax, accounting or other requirements.

If you remove the data from the source from which we obtained it, then it
will also be deleted from konfer and any backups we hold within 3 months
from such deletion.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 9
(Your legal rights) below for further information.

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal data (so that it can
no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in
which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice
to you.

9. YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in
relation to your personal data.

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject
access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we
hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This
enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you
corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you
provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete
or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to
process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your
personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to
processing (see below), where we may have processed your information
unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply
with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with
your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to
you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a
legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about
your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on
this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data
for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we
have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which
override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you
to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following
scenarios:

* If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
* Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
* Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you
need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
* You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we
have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer (unless our processing is carried out on the basis of
our Legitimate Interests) of your personal data to you or to a third party.
We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data
in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this
right only applies to automated information which you initially provided
consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract
with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process
your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any
processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw
your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to
you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your
consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us
at the details set out above in section 1.

NO FEE USUALLY REQUIRED

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise
any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your
request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we
could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

WHAT WE MAY NEED FROM YOU

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your
identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise
any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that
personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to
your request to speed up our response.

TIME LIMIT TO RESPOND

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally
it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex
or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and
keep you updated.
