Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:

Consent

We may rely on consent where you have actively agreed to a specific use of your personal data, such as receiving certain marketing communications or providing particular event-related information where consent is required.

Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time.

Contract

We may process personal data where it is necessary to provide services, respond to service requests, manage bookings, deliver event technology support or fulfil an agreement with a client, supplier or event organiser.

Legitimate Interests

We may process personal data where it is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

This may include responding to enquiries, managing client relationships, improving our services, maintaining business records, protecting our systems and supporting event delivery.

Legal Obligation

We may process personal data where we are required to do so by law, regulation, tax, accounting or other legal obligations.

Special Category Data

Where we process special category data, such as dietary or accessibility information, we will only do so where there is a valid lawful basis and an additional condition under UK data protection law.

This may include where the information is necessary to support event participation, accessibility, health and safety, reasonable adjustments, or where explicit consent has been obtained where required.

7. Marketing Communications

We may send marketing communications where you have opted in to receive them or where we are otherwise permitted to do so under applicable law.

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly.

We do not sell personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data.

We may share personal data where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

This may include sharing information with:

  • Clients or event organisers connected to the relevant event

  • Managers, stakeholders or authorised users who require access to event information

  • Venues, hotels or accommodation providers

  • Event suppliers, contractors or delivery partners

  • Technology providers who support our website, systems, forms, platforms or event technology

Any sharing is limited to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.

Where we use suppliers or service providers, we expect them to protect personal data and only process it in accordance with applicable data protection law and, where relevant, our instructions.

9. International Transfers

Some systems, platforms or service providers we use may process personal data outside the UK.

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place. This may include adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

10. Data Security

Poise Event Tech takes reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration or disclosure.

These measures may include:

  • Restricted access to personal data

  • Internal processes for handling event and delegate information

  • Reviewing systems and suppliers where appropriate

However, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If we become aware of a data security incident, we will take appropriate steps in line with our legal obligations.

11. Data Retention

We only keep personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention periods may depend on:

  • The type of personal data

  • The purpose for which it was collected

  • The nature and duration of the event or client relationship

  • Legal, accounting or tax requirements

  • Contractual obligations

  • Whether there is an ongoing enquiry, project, dispute or legal requirement

Enquiry and demo request data may be kept for a reasonable period so we can manage the enquiry and any follow-up communication.

Client and supplier records may be kept for as long as required to manage the business relationship and meet legal, financial or tax obligations.

Event and delegate data will be kept only for as long as needed to deliver the relevant event, manage the client relationship, meet legal obligations and maintain appropriate business records.

When personal data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised or archived where appropriate.

12. Delegate And Event Data

Where Poise Event Tech processes attendee or delegate data on behalf of a client for event delivery, that client may also be a data controller and Poise Events Ltd may act as a data processor for specific activities.

In those circumstances, data is processed only for the agreed event purpose and in line with the relevant agreement, client instructions and applicable data protection law.

Authorised users, such as clients, managers or event stakeholders, may be given access to relevant information where this is necessary for the delivery, reporting or management of the event.

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to help the website function, support contact forms, maintain security, improve performance and understand basic website usage.
