PRIVACY POLICY

Emerald Holdings, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries, including Emerald X, LLC
(collectively, “Emerald” or “us” or “we”) are committed to respecting and
protecting your privacy. This privacy policy covers the collection and use of
information for each Emerald website and any websites or mobile applications
that link to it, as well as the information we collect when you interact with us
through social media, events, apps or other websites and online services.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 18, 2023

Emerald understands that privacy is important to our users. This privacy policy
covers the collection and use of personal information for each Emerald website,
mobile application, as well as the information we collect when you interact with
us through social media or other websites and online services, attend one of our
trade shows, conferences, webinars and other live or virtual events hosted or
managed by Emerald (“Events”), or use any other service, online marketplace, or
e-commerce platform provided by us or our affiliates (collectively, the
“Services”) .  

Please note that our privacy practices are subject to the applicable laws of the
regions in which we operate. Accordingly, some additional region-specific terms
will only apply to individuals in those locations, or as required by applicable
laws.

policy in an alternative format, please email privacy@emeraldx.com or call

BY USING OR ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO
NOT AGREE WITH OUR POLICIES OR PRACTICES, YOU SHOULD NOT USE OR ACCESS THE
SERVICES OR PROVIDE US WITH ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION.

We may provide different or additional privacy notices in connection with
certain activities, programs, and offerings. Additionally, we may provide
additional “just-in-time” notices or notices at collection that may supplement
or clarify our privacy practices or provide you with additional choices
regarding your personal information.

What Information We Collect

We use the term “personal information” – also called “personal data” or
“personally identifiable information” in the laws of some jurisdictions – to
refer to information that reasonably identifies, relates to, describes, or can
be associated with you. Data that has been de-identified or that otherwise
cannot reasonably be related back to a specific person is not considered
personal information. The precise definition of personal information may vary
depending on your place of residence, but we take the same general approach to
protecting your privacy, subject to any additional measures that may be required
by applicable laws.

How We Collect Your Information

Information you give us: We collect information that you choose to provide to us
when you create any account with us, request customer service, register for an
Event, purchase event related services, subscribe to our magazines (either
directly or through another company such as a subscription agency), sign up for
email newsletters, enter a sweepstakes or contest, participate in surveys, or
otherwise submit to us through our website, via a social media platform, email
or text message, in person, over the telephone, or by mail. During the
registration process we may request certain contact information and demographic
information about you such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone
number, company name, size of company and professional title. We also may
receive information about you from other sources and add it to the information
you have provided to us. If you choose to register for a trade show, conference
or other event on this website or one of our online platforms, you may also be
asked to provide your credit card information to fulfill your registration or
purchasing requests, as well as other financial transaction data. We also
collect audiovisual information, including recordings of online events. By
attending an Event, you acknowledge and agree that you may be recorded.

Information collected automatically: When you use the Services, we or third
parties we work with may automatically collect certain information using
technologies such as cookies and other tracking technologies described below.

 * Cookies and Similar Technology: We may automatically collect information and
   data through the use of log files, “cookies” or other information storage and
   tracking technology. These technologies allow us to track usage behavior and
   compile website usage information that will allow for the improvement of
   content and targeting advertising. This information may include your internet
   protocol (IP) address, associated company name, if any, browser type,
   platform, internet service provider (ISP), time and date stamp, general
   geographic information, referring pages and exit pages. We may store some
   information on your device or device hard drive as a cookie or similar type
   of file (such as clear gifs, web beacons, tags, and similar technologies that
   work on mobile devices) to collect data related to usage of the Services. We
   may also use cookies to customize your visit to the website and for other
   purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance the
   Services.
 * Analytics: The Services incorporate various tracking technologies, including,
   but not limited to, Google Analytics, Meta, and Twitter, all of which have
   their own privacy policies.
 * Clickstream Data: As you use the Internet, a trail of electronic information
   is left at each website you visit. This information, which is sometimes
   referred to as “clickstream data,” can be collected and stored by a website’s
   server. Clickstream data can tell us the type of computer and browsing
   software you use and the address of the website from which you linked to the
   Services. We may collect and use clickstream data as a form of aggregate
   information to anonymously determine how much time visitors spend on each
   page of our website or app, how visitors navigate throughout the Services,
   and how we may tailor our web pages to better meet the needs of
   visitors. This information will be used to improve our Services.

Information from other sources: We may collect the following information about
you from third-party sources.

 * Subscription registration information that we may receive if you sign up for
   Emerald magazines and publications through third-party subscription services.
 * Information that we purchase from third-party databases to support our
   marketing efforts.

How We Use Information

Emerald may use your personal information for any of the following reasons:

 * To provide, maintain, personalize, optimize, and improve the website,
   including research and analytics regarding use of the website, or to remember
   you when you leave and return to the website;
 * To provide and improve our products and services, to provide you with
   customer service, to process any transactions you request, or authenticate
   you as a customer;
 * To deliver targeted advertisements (including interest-based advertising on
   our websites and applications), promotional messages, notices, and other
   information about products, events and services of ours, our affiliates and
   third parties, such as exhibitors, sponsors, licensees and media partners;
   
   
 * To offer you customized content and other personalization to make the Service
   more relevant to your interests and geography;

 * To provide you with information about products or services you may be
   interested in, including our Events;
 * To provide you with e-newsletters you have requested;
 * To send you notices for subscription renewal;
 * To contact you regarding marketing endeavors;
 * To allow access to Emerald owner or affiliated e-commerce or transactional
   products;
 * To invite you to participate in user testing and surveys as well as
   sweepstakes, competitions, contests, and similar promotions;
 * To support core business functions, including internal audits;
 * To comply with legal and compliance obligations;
 * For security and fraud prevention;
 * To support health and safety at our events; and/or
 * For any additional purposes that you specifically consent to.

We may also use your information to:

 * provide relevant networking, speaker sessions, presentations, and exhibitor
   product recommendations as part of our event matchmaking services based on
   the preferences and interests you provide during your registration, your
   interactions on our websites, platforms, and at our events; and/or
 * include in participant directories to provide visitors, exhibitors, and
   sponsors names and business contact details of those attending the event.

We reserve the right to develop and derive aggregate data (meaning information
that relates to a group or category of individuals, from which individual
identities have been removed) from personal information in order to enhance and
maintain the Services, and such aggregate data will be treated as non-personal
information.

How We Share and Disclose Information

Event partners: From time to time, Emerald may also share your contact
information with other organizations, such as Event exhibitors, associations,
sponsors, joint venture partners, and vendors, for marketing and other business
purposes. If you do not wish for your information to be shared, please complete
this form.

Vendors and service providers: We contract with third party vendors and service
providers to provide us with specialized services, including, but not limited
to, customer service, registration, payment processors, subscription
fulfillment, housing, booth decoration, freight services, research, statistical
analysis, application development, list cleansing, postal mailings, email and
fax deployment, and other information services. These companies or individuals
may be provided with access to information about you, but only as needed to
perform their functions. These vendors are required to maintain the
confidentiality, security, and integrity of such information.

Corporate affiliates: We share personal information with our corporate
affiliates and subsidiaries, who process personal information on our behalf,
where necessary to provide a product or service that you have requested, or in
other circumstances with your consent or as permitted or required by law.

Third parties: We may also share your personal information with third parties
who partner with us to promote products and services, provide marketing and
advertisements, conduct data analytics, or use the data for other commercial
purposes. We do not control how these third parties use and share your personal
information once they receive it. You will need to contact such third parties
directly for information about their privacy practices or to exercise any rights
you may have (including if you would like to opt-out of marketing messages). No
mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for
marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging
originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any
third parties

Legal and compliance: Notwithstanding any other provision of this privacy
policy, we may disclose information about you to any third party when disclosure
is required by law, or desirable to permit us to exercise or preserve our legal
rights or take action regarding potentially illegal activities, to enforce our
Terms of Use or to protect the safety of any person.

Business transfers: In the event we are acquired by or merged with a third-party
entity or in the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, we reserve the right,
in any of these circumstances, to transfer or assign the information we have
collected through the Services as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or
other change of control.

Public recordings: We may make recorded events available to the people who
attended them, or publicly.

Interest-Based Advertising

We and our partners use cookies, web beacons or other technologies to collect
information from our website. These companies may use information about your
visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements on this
website and other websites about goods and services that may be of interest to
you. They may also collect information about your online activities over time
and across different websites and other online services. This form of
advertising, sometimes called “targeted advertising,” “behavioral advertising,”
or “cross-context behavioral advertising,” enables us and our partners to know
about your interests in connection with the delivery of a specific ad. If you
would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about
not having this information used by these companies, please visit the Network
Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org) and Digital
Advertising Alliance (http://optout.aboutads.info). Please note that by opting
out, you will continue to see generic advertising that is not tailored to your
specific interests and activities. In the event that we perform cross-device
matching (as described above), once you have opted out on one device (“Opted-Out
Device”), we will not use any new data from the Opted-Out Device to identify you
on another device for interest-based advertising purposes, and we will not use
data from another device for interest-based advertising purposes on the
Opted-Out Device.

Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. The information
collection and disclosure practices and the choices that we provide to you will
continue to operate as described in this privacy policy, or as required by
applicable law. Please see the section titled California Privacy
Rights and Virginia Privacy Rights below for more information.

Your browser or device may include “Do Not Track” functionality. The information
collection and disclosure practices and the choices that we provide to you will
continue to operate as described in this privacy policy, whether or not a Do Not
Track signal is received. However, where required by applicable law, we treat
Global Privacy Control signals as a means of opting out of the sale or sharing
of personal information, or of opting out of the processing of personal
information for targeted advertising, as applicable. Please see the section
titled California Privacy Rights and Virginia Privacy Rights below for more
information.

We may combine information you give us or that we collect automatically with our
business records, information from third parties, or information collected from
another browser or device to personalize our communications with you and to
deliver better advertising.

Editorial Content and Event Presentations

Where you submit content, such as write an article or produce a video, for any
of our magazines or other products, or speak at one of our events, we will
process some additional personal information about you, including:

 * professional biography or profile, produced or approved by you, that may
   contain your image, likeness, or voice, which may be published and made
   available to our subscribers, event audiences, or published online via our
   websites and social media channels for promotional purposes; and
 * internal editorial, reviewer, commentary, or feedback.

To help improve the diversity of our editorial content and event panels, we may
ask you to provide, on an entirely voluntary basis, demographic data such as
age, gender, disability, race, ethnic origin, religion and sexual orientation.

Cross-Device Matching

We may use your information to help us, or our third-party vendors, determine if
you have interacted with the Services across multiple devices and to match such
devices. To accomplish this, we may rely on information (including demographic,
geographic and interest-based data) from third parties such as data vendors,
pursuant to their own privacy policies, or we may use information we collect in
conjunction with such third-party data. Based on this data, we may then display
targeted advertisements across devices that we believe are associated with each
other and may further provide services to our advertisers to better enable
cross-device targeting and analysis.

Your Choices

Consistent with applicable law, you may exercise the choices described in this
section regarding your personal information and communications from us. You may
also have certain additional rights available depending on laws in your state or
country of residence, as described further below in the privacy policy.

Opting-Out: If you do not wish to receive marketing information from Emerald,
please unsubscribe from future messages by using our standard the unsubscribe
process (such as by using the unsubscribe link included in an email or texting
the word “STOP” to opt-out of text messages). J We will process your request
within a reasonable time after receipt. Please note that if you opt out in this
manner, certain aspects of our services may no longer be available to you.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: If you would like to stop or restrict the
placement of cookies or flush any cookies that may already be on your computer
or device, please refer to and adjust your web browser preferences. Further
information on cookies is available at www.allaboutcookies.org. By deleting our
cookies or disabling future cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas
or features of the Services or some of its functionality may be affected.

Note that cookie-based opt-outs must be performed on each device and browser
that you wish to have opted out. For example, if you have opted out on your
device browser, that opt-out will not be effective on your mobile device.
Additionally, if you opt out on one of your devices, that opt out may not be
effective on all of your devices. However, please be advised that cookie-based
opt-outs are not effective on some mobile services.

Links to Other Sites and Social Media Services

We may create links to other websites that we think may be of interest to you,
such as providers of various products and services. We may also provide links
that allow you to send or forward a post from our Services through or to
third-party social media sites, or other means of electronic communication, such
as an email or text messaging service. We do not endorse any other websites,
providers, or services by providing such links, and this privacy policy applies
only to your use of our Services. We are not responsible for the privacy
policies of any websites and services we link to on our Services, and you should
read the privacy policies of each site you visit to determine what data that
site may collect about you.

Our Services may also integrate with social media services. We do not control
such services and are not liable for the manner in which they operate. While we
may provide you with the ability to use such services in connection with our
Services, we are doing so merely as accommodation and, like you, are relying
upon those third-party services to operate properly and fairly.

You should be aware that any personal information which you voluntarily include
and transmit online in a publicly accessible blog, forum, social network, or
otherwise may be viewed and used by others. By using such features, you assume
the risk that the personal information provided by you may be viewed and used by
third parties.

Children
This website is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not
knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If
a parent or guardian believes that this website has collected the personal
information of a child under the age of 13, please complete this form.

Data Retention

We will retain the personal information we hold about you for as long as we have
a legitimate business need or as needed to provide you with the Services, and
for a reasonable time thereafter in accordance with our standard procedures or
as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to
enforce our agreements. Even if we delete some or all of your information, we
may continue to retain and use anonymous or aggregate data, or any other data
that constitutes non-personal information. Please note that we will not be
liable for disclosures of your data due to errors or unauthorized acts of third
parties.

Cross Border Data Transfers

We may store this information in the United States or we may transfer it to any
other country. If you are located outside of the United States and voluntarily
submit information to us, we may transfer that information to and store that
information in the United States. The data protection laws in countries to which
personal data are transferred may or may not provide a level of protection
equivalent to the laws in your home country. Wherever we hold the data, we will
apply the terms of this privacy policy and any applicable data protection law.
Where applicable, we may use model clauses approved by the laws of your
jurisdiction (such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European
Commission) for cross-border data transfers.

Data Security

We maintain certain procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and
integrity of information you submit to us or that we collect while it is
controlled by us. We also use reasonable and appropriate physical, technical,
and organizational safeguards designed to promote the security of our systems
and protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of
personal information. However, the storage and communication of such information
cannot always be completely secure. Also, we cannot and do not guarantee that
data transferred to third parties in accordance with this privacy policy will be
protected against intentional or accidental misuse or loss.

California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the
California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, provides you with specific rights
regarding your personal information. This section describes the rights that
California consumers have and explains how to exercise those rights. For the
purposes of this section, personal information does not include: (i) information
that is lawfully made available from federal, state or local government records;
(ii) de-identified or aggregated data; or (iii) information excluded from the
scope of the CCPA.

To be clear, these rights are granted only to the extent that you are a
California consumer and we are acting as a “business” under the CCPA with
respect to your personal information. The rights in this section are not
intended to grant you additional rights, but only your rights under the CCPA.

In the past 12 months, we have collected the categories of personal information
described  below for the business or commercial purpose(s) indicated in the
section “How We Use Information”:

 * Identifiers
 * Customer records information
 * Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law
 * Commercial information
 * Internet or other similar network activity information
 * Sensory data
 * Professional or employment-related information.

Depending on your level of interaction with us, we may not have collected your
personal information from all of these categories. The sources from which we
collect your personal information are described above in the section “How We
Collect Your Information”. Depending on your level of interaction with us,  in
the past 12 months, we have disclosed one or more of the above categories of
personal information to our service providers for a business purpose, as set out
in the section “How We Share and Disclose Information”.

Also in the past 12 months, we have sold all of the above categories of personal
information to association and JV partners and shared all of the above
categories of personal information with third party advertisers for
cross-context behavioral advertising.

Rights to Your Information

a. Right to Know

As a California consumer, you have the right to request that we disclose certain
information to you about our collection, use, disclosure or sale of your
personal information over the past 12 months. Once we receive and confirm your
verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Your Rights, below), and subject to
certain limitations that we describe below, we will disclose such information.
You have the right to request any or all of the following:

 * The categories of personal information we collected about you.
 * The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
 * Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal
   information.
 * The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
 * The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (see Data
   Portability Rights below).

b. Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information
that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we
receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request (see Exercising Your
Rights, below), we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your
personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. However, we
maybe retain personal information that has been de-identified or aggregated.
Furthermore, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is
necessary for us or our service provider(s) in order to perform certain actions
set forth under CCPA, such as detecting security incidents and protecting
against fraudulent or illegal activity.

c. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request a copy of personal information we have collected
and maintained about you in the past 12 months. The CCPA allows you to request
your information from us up to twice during a 12-month period. We will provide
our response in a readily usable (and usually electronic) format.

d. Right to Correct

You have the right to request the correction of any personal information we
maintain about you.

e. Right to Opt Out of Selling or Sharing Your Personal Information

You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal
information, along with the right to opt in to the sale of such information. To
exercise the right to opt out, you (or your authorized representative),
please complete this form with “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” in
the details section of the form.

f. Right to Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights,
including but not limited to, by:

 * Denying you goods or services.
 * Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including
   through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
 * Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services.
 * Suggesting that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or
   services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

g. Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the rights described above, complete this form or call us at
1-800-315-1578

After submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order
for us to properly respond and confirm that it is not a fraudulent request. In
order to verify your identity, we will ask, at a minimum, that you provide your
name, email address, phone number, address, and relationship to us, so that we
can seek to match this information with the information existing in our systems.
When providing us this information, you represent and affirm that all
information provided is true and accurate. If we are unable to verify that the
consumer submitting the request is the same individual about whom we have
collected personal information, we may contact you for more information, or we
may not be able to meet your request.

Only you, or an agent legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a
verifiable request related to your personal information. If you are making a
request as the authorized agent of a California consumer, we will ask you also
submit reliable proof that you have been authorized in writing by the consumer
to act on such consumer’s behalf.

We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when
you contacted us. If you have a complex request, the CCPA allows us up to 90
days to respond. We will still contact you within 45 days from when you
contacted us to let you know we need more time to respond.


California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (“Shine the Light”) permits California
residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of your
personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To
make such a request, please complete this form with “California Customer Choice
Notice” in the details section of the form.

Nevada Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt out of the sale of
certain personal information that we have collected (or may collect) from you to
data brokers or other third parties. To make such a request, please complete
this form with “Nevada Do Not Sell Request” in the details section of the form.

Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah Privacy Rights

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah have certain rights with
respect to their personal information.  These rights are established through the
Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”),
the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”), and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act
(“UCPA”) (collectively, the “State Laws”). The rights available to residents of
these states are explained below.

The categories of personal information we process, our purposes for processing
your personal information, the categories of personal information that we share

previously provided to us or that we have obtained in a portable and, to the
extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit

out by automated means. Subject to certain exceptions, you may request such
personal information free of charge once annually, except for Virginia
residents, who may request such personal information up to twice annually.

c. Right to delete

Residents of Virginia, Colorado and Utah have the right to delete personal
information that you have provided to us or that we have obtained about you.
Requests from Utah residents cover only personal information that you have
provided directly to us. Please note that we may deny requests to delete if the
requested deletion falls under an exception as set forth in the applicable State
Laws. Additionally, if you request deletion of your personal information and we
have obtained such information from a third-party source, we may retain such
data by keeping a record of the deletion request and the minimum data necessary
to ensure that your personal information remains deleted from our records and
that such retained data is not used for any other purpose, or we may opt you out
of the processing of such personal information for any purpose except for those
allowed under the applicable State Laws.

d. Right to opt out

Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Virginia have the right to opt
out of the processing of the personal information for purposes of: (i) targeted
advertising; (ii) the sale of personal information; or (iii) profiling that

please complete this form.

e. Right to correct

Residents of Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut have the right to correct

the personal information and the purposes for which we process it.

f. Right to nondiscrimination

You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by us for the
exercise of your privacy rights under State Laws. Unless permitted by applicable
State Law, we will not:

 * Deny you goods or services;
 * Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through
   granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
 * Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or
 * Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services
   or a different level or quality of goods or services.

How to Exercise Your Rights; Verifying Your Identity

To exercise any of your privacy rights under State Laws, please complete this
form or call us at call 1-800-315-1578.

After submitting a request, we will take steps to verify your identity in order
for us to properly respond and/or confirm that your request is not fraudulent.
We may contact you for additional information as reasonably necessary to
authenticate your request, but if we are ultimately unable to authenticate your
request using reasonably commercial efforts, then we may not be able to comply
with it.

Only you may make a verifiable request related to your personal information. If
you are making a request as the parent or legal guardian of a known child
regarding the processing of that child’s personal information, we may ask you to
submit reliable proof of your identity.

Response Time; Your Right to Appeal

We will make every effort to respond to your request within 45 days from when
you contacted us. If you have a complex request, certain State Laws allow an
extension of our time to respond. We will contact you within 45 days from when
you contacted us to inform you of the need for additional time and the reason
for such extension. We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover administrative
costs if your requests are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

If we decline to take action on a request that you have submitted, we will
inform you of our reasons for doing so, and, for Virginia, Colorado and
Connecticut residents, provide instructions for how to appeal the decision.
Residents of those states will have the right to appeal within a reasonable
period of time after you have received our decision. Within the time provided by
your State Law of our receipt of your appeal, we will inform you in writing of
any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written
explanation of the reasons for the decisions. If we deny your appeal, we will
provide you with a method for contacting your state’s regulatory authority to
submit a complaint.

Sensitive Data

The VCDPA, CPA, and CTDPA each require companies to obtain a consumer’s
affirmative consent before processing “sensitive data,” which may vary depending
on the specific statute. We will not process any such sensitive data from
Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut residents without first obtaining your
consent. Additionally, for Colorado residents, we will not process any sensitive
data inferences without first obtaining your consent.

Currently, we do not process any “sensitive data” that is protected under
applicable State Laws.

European Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the following
information applies with respect to our collection, use, and disclosure of your
personal data and additional rights you have under applicable law.

Data Controller: Emerald X, LLC is the data controller of all personal data
collected through the Services.

Purposes of processing and legal basis for processing: We process personal data
for the purposes described in “How We Use Your Information” above. We process
personal data on the following legal bases: (1) with your consent; (2) as
necessary to perform our agreement to provide the Services; (3) as necessary for
our legitimate interests in providing the Services where those interests do not
override your fundamental rights and freedoms related to data privacy; and (4)
where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. To the extent
permitted under applicable laws, we will also process, transfer, disclose, and
preserve personal data when we have a good faith belief that doing so is
necessary.

If you are situated in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK and have any complaints
regarding our privacy practices, you have the right to make a complaint at any
time to your local supervisory authority. We would, however, appreciate the
chance to deal with your concerns before you approach your supervisory
authority, so please contact us in the first instance. If you have a complaint,
please contact us completing this form.

Failure 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 our services).
In this case, we may not be able to provide certain services to you.

Third party sources: We may obtain personal data and other information about you
through public sources and through our third-party partners who help us provide
our products and services to you.

Withdrawing your consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your
personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by
contacting us using the information below.

Marketing: We may use your personal data to form a view on what we think you may
want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which
products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).
You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested
information from us or used our services and, in each case, you have consented
to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes.

Transfers: Personal data we collect from the EEA, UK, and Switzerland may be
transferred to, and stored and processed in, the United States or any other
country in which we or our affiliates or processors maintain facilities. We will
ensure that transfers of personal data to a third country or an international
organization are subject to appropriate safeguards.

Individual Rights: If you are a resident of the EEA, UK or Switzerland, under
the EU General Data Protection Regulation, as a data subject, 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: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our
   use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) 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; or (d) 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 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. 

In order to verify your identity, we may require you to provide us with personal
information prior to accessing any records containing information about you.
Please contact us using the information below to exercise your rights under the
GDPR.
