1. ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ does its very best to protect your privacy by using security technology appropriately. This means:

β€’ ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ makes sure that it has appropriate security measures to protect your information; and

β€’ ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ makes sure that when we ask another organisation to provide a service for us, they have appropriate security measures.

2 ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ will respect your privacy. You should receive marketing (whether by email, post or telephone) only from us. You will be able to unsubscribe from these messages. However, we may email you occasionally with information or questions about your registration, your subscription account or postings, for example, with reminders or copyright requests.

3. ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ will collect and use individual user details only if we have your permission or we have sensible business reasons for doing so, such as collecting enough information to manage subscriptions.

4 ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ will be clear in its dealings with you as to what information about you we will collect and how we will use it.

5 ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ will use personal information only for the purposes for which it was originally collected and we will make sure we delete it securely.

6 ΒιΆΉΣ³»­β€™s sites are accessible via the internet. This means that people around the world who access our website can see anything you post on the website, for example, comments about an article.

What information does ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ collect?

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ collects information on you:

  • when you register on one of our websites
  • when you subscribe to our magazines and other services
  • through cookies
  • if you choose to reveal information in postings, and
  • when you register for our events. 

Registration

The minimum information ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ needs to register you on ipe.com is your business contact information including name, job title, company, postal address, email and telephone number.  

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ may ask you more questions for different services. Unless we say otherwise, you have to answer all the registration questions. 

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ may also ask some other, voluntary, questions during registration for certain services so we can gain a clearer understanding of your needs. 

After you have registered, we may send you emails we think might interest you. Newsletters may be personalised based on what you have told us during registration. At any time you can decide not to receive these emails and will be able to unsubscribe. 

How ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ uses your data 

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ is a business to business publisher and events organiser. We use the data that we have collected from you to offer our services to you. 

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ holds personal data to provide our services but wherever possible, we try to hold business contact information. We sometimes hold home addresses where they have been submitted by the user but we discourage this. 

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ occasionally needs to hold sensitive personal information like food allergy details and other dietary needs to run our events safely. This is only ever shared where vital, for example, with the caterers. It is deleted after the event and never stored. 

Cookies

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­β€™s websites use cookies to distinguish you from other users of the websites. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you browse our website and also allows us to improve our site. 

Cookies keep you signed in. They also let us know (anonymously) how many times our site is visited, what pages are being read and how long for. They do not let us identify or track you personally. 

For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them see our  .

Use of Under-18s data

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ does not knowingly collect or store any personal information about under-18s and ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ does not offer any of its products or services directly to under-18s. We do not collect dates of birth on registration so it is possible that students might register who are under 18 but we do not expect our content to be relevant to under-18s. 

Updating your personal information

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ offers a β€˜My details’ page, where you can update your personal information at any time, and change your preferences. You can get to this page from most pages on the site – simply click on the link at the top of the screen when you are signed in.

Organisations with whom ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ shares data

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ needs to share some information with suppliers to operate as a publisher and events organiser. For example, we need to tell the hotel the names for event bookings and we need to supply mailing lists to our printers and mailing house to address and post the magazines. 

These suppliers will always be governed by strict contractual restrictions to make sure that they protect your information and adhere to data-protection and privacy laws which apply. 

Depending on where you live, your personal information may be shared within ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ whose staff are based around the world. For example, if you book an event held in Switzerland, your data may initially be held on our systems in the United Kingdom and then shared with ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ staff in Switzerland for event administration purposes.

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ may use service providers to help us run our sites (or services available on the sites), some of whom may be based outside the EU and EEA.

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ may make other organisations’ services available, through our sites, although we are not necessarily operating these sites. Information these other organisations collect is governed by their own privacy policies and is referred to in ΒιΆΉΣ³»­β€™s terms and conditions.  

ΒιΆΉΣ³»­ can access and release personal information where required by law. 

Some of our webpages use plug-ins from other organisations (such as the β€˜Facebook Recommend’ function or Linkedin Sharing.). These other organisations might use information about your visit to our websites on their pages. If you browse these pages while still also logged in to your account with us, information they collect might be connected to your account on their site. For more information on how these organisations use information, please read their privacy policies.
