SHARING OF INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES
We will NEVER sell your information to any third party firm for revenue: We do not desire nor need to earn revenue by selling the information provided by our users and customers to any third party, especially marketing companies and database list purchasing companies. We believe this business model is unethical, and do not support it.
We may share necessary information with third parties who perform services on our behalf. We might have to share information with suppliers or partners who help us deliver and execute our responsibilities. These may include partner organisations who help us manage our online or in-event registration process, payment processors or transactional message processors, or hotels or hospitality partners arranging accommodation or travel itineraries for users or clients. Without sharing necessary information, it would be impossible to carry out such tasks and for us to deliver for our customers and users.
We may share information with our business partners. This might typically include a third party who, for instance sponsors an event and wishes to know basic information about attendees – a name, organisation or job title. We will not typically share any contact information with any such sponsor unless such information is firstly specifically sought by them, and secondly agreed to by the client on an individual basis. If an introduction is made, our partners must subsequently use the information provided to them in accordance with their privacy policies and code of ethics.
We may share information if we think we have to in order to comply with the law or to protect ourselves. We will share information to respond to a court order or other legal requirement. We may also share it if a government agency or investigatory body requests it, or if investigating potential fraud, bad practice or criminality.
We may share information with any successor to all or part of our business. It is extremely unlikely that we will ever sell our business beyond minor shareholding stakes, given that this is and has always been a lifelong passion project for us, which is not primarily motivated by financial gain. However, it is our duty to state that if, for example, a part of our business is sold, we may have to provide our customer list as part of that transaction.
We may share your information for reasons not described in this policy. We have no plans to do so, but again, are obliged to state this as part of this Privacy Policy.
