Who we are
Our website address is: https://www.awesomeet.com

At awesomeet we take your privacy seriously, and want you to understand clearly how we will use the personal data you supply when registering to attend this meeting, which represents the establishment of a contract between you and awesomeet. We have one set of conditions for “ordinary” personal data (name, contact details, job title, etc) and a different approach to “sensitive” personal data (eg personal photograph; dietary requirements; disabilities).

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Conditions for “ordinary” personal data
By registering, you agree to share the “ordinary” personal data you provide with the other delegates who will attend the meeting, to enable effective networking and business exchanges to take place, including on the official awesomeet applications. Personal data on all delegates will be retained on the registration system/App for 3 months after the event date, for the purpose of enabling delegates to easily contact one another after the event is over; other parties who did not attend the meeting will not be able to access personal data from that meeting.

I agree that awesomeet may process my data in their event registration system, and may communicate with me via email, post or other methods with important messages relating to this meeting.

I agree that awesomeet may add my personal data to their main CRM system, where they maintain records of the awesomeet-related activities of employees of member companies, of international associations, and of companies and organisations that have expressed an interest in event membership or event’s services. The privacy policy relating to awesomeet’s CRM system will then apply.

A listing of all registered delegates’ names, company and country, without any contact details, will be visible to all the event is being promoted, in the password-protected “awesomeet” portal. This is for the purpose of encouraging other attendees to register for the event. The listing will be deleted immediately after the event takes place.

I agree that awesomeet may share my details (name, company and country) in a listing in the password-protected “awesomeet” portal.

Special opt-in conditions for sensitive personal data Some personal data is regarded as particularly sensitive, and awesomeet will always handle this type of data with an appropriate level of care.
