  • Subject to applicable law, in the event that C5 is merged, sold, or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets (including in bankruptcy), or in the event of another corporate change, in connection with such a transaction, or for pre-transaction review in relation to such transactions.

Your personal information may be shared if we anonymize and/or aggregate it, as in these circumstances the information will cease to be personal information.

Your personal information may be processed and stored outside of the province/state/country in which you reside by us, an affiliate or a third-party service provider for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy and, under the laws of these other jurisdictions, in certain circumstances, foreign courts, law enforcement agencies or regulatory agencies may be entitled to access your personal information.


3. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

In certain circumstances, you have certain rights regarding your personal information. A summary of each right and how you can exercise it is set out below. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. Such requests should include information to allow us to verify your identity (e.g., your name, address, email address or other information reasonably required).

Where we receive your request to exercise one of these rights, we will respond without undue delay and within the time required by applicable law. This may be extended in certain circumstances, e.g., where requests are complex or numerous.

We will provide the information free of charge, except where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, e.g. because of their repetitive character. In these circumstances we may charge a reasonable fee or may refuse to act on the request. We will advise you of any fees prior to proceeding with a request. We may ask for additional information to verify your identity before carrying out a request.

Right to access and/or correct your personal information
You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to be provided with a copy of the information (in most circumstances). You also have the right to correct any information we may hold about you that is inaccurate.

Right to restrict use of your personal information
You have the right to ask us to restrict processing of your personal information where one of the following applies:

  • The processing is unlawful but you want us to restrict use of the data instead of deleting it;
  • Where you contest the accuracy of your personal information, the restriction will apply until we have verified the accuracy or corrected your personal information;
  • We no longer require the personal information for the purposes of processing, but are required to keep it in connection with a legal claim;
  • You have exercised your right to object to the processing. The restriction will apply until we have taken steps to verify whether we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.

Right to request deletion of your personal information
You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances. If you want to opt-out from receiving marketing communications, the best way to do so is to allow us to retain your information with a “do not contact” tag so we know not to contact you in the future.

There are also certain exceptions where we may refuse a request for erasure, for example, where the personal information is required to comply with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to object to processing of your personal information
You may object to our use of your personal information for marketing purposes.

You may also object to processing of your personal information in cases where we have used legitimate interests as the basis for processing. In such cases, we will stop processing your personal information until we verify that we have compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms in asking us to stop processing the data, or in limited cases where we need to continue processing the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to data portability
In most cases, you have the right to receive all personal information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another data controller, where technically feasible.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
If you object to our processing of your personal information, you have the right to complain to the data protection authority (“DPA”) in the country where you reside, where you work, or where the alleged infringement of data protection laws has taken place.

We agree that any disputes regarding our privacy policies and related actions regarding personal information from data subjects in the EU can be heard by a DPA and we will be subject to the determination of those bodies (as further explained in the Privacy Shield Principles). Please contact us to be directed to the relevant DPA.

In certain circumstances after they have first tried to resolve the dispute directly with us and with the DPA, data subjects in the EU may be able to invoke binding arbitration of disputes by the Privacy Shield arbitration panel.


4. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

C5 is a global company and we may transfer personal information to other C5 group companies or suppliers outside your country. C5 will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is protected and any such transfers comply with applicable law.

C5 may transfer and maintain the personal information of individuals covered by this Policy on servers or databases outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Some of these countries may not have the equivalent level of protection under their data protection laws as in the EEA.

The countries to which we transfer data outside of the EEA may include any of the countries in which C5 does business. A list of C5 office locations can be found here.


5. RETENTION PERIODS

We will retain your personal information for as long as required to perform the purposes for which your data was collected; or for the purpose of fulfilling additional legal/regulatory obligations which require us to retain it; or where possible by law, until such time as removal is requested. In general terms, this will mean that your personal information will be kept for the duration of our relationship with you and further if:

  • the period required by tax and company laws and regulations; and
  • it is necessary for you to be able to bring a claim against us and for us to be able to defend ourselves against any legal claims. This will generally be the length of the relationship plus the length of any applicable statutory limitation period under local laws.

6. CHOICES ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION

Marketing Communications
We will respect your wishes not to receive marketing communications. You can change your marketing preferences by visiting our Preference Center or contacting us at [email protected]. You can opt out of receiving commercial electronic messages at any time by using the unsubscribe links included at the bottom of our messages. Please note that we will continue to send you communications related to the fulfillment of an order or service regardless of any opt-out request. We will not sell or share your information with third parties (other than our subsidiaries or affiliates) for their own promotional or marketing purposes where prohibited by law or where you have specifically opted out.

Conferences
We may use your feedback form(s) or the RFID information (from your event badge) to administer and improve the conference experience and solicit interest in C5 products and services.

We occasionally allow Exhibitors to utilize technology that will scan attendee badges at our conferences. If you choose to allow an Exhibitor to scan your badge at the Exhibitor’s booth or when entering an Exhibitor session or function, you are giving us your consent to provide your contact details to that Exhibitor. Our Exhibitors’ use of any information you choose to share with them in this way is governed by each Exhibitor’s Privacy Policy. Badge scanning is optional and you may refuse to have your badge scanned by the Exhibitor.


7. SECURITY

We have implemented administrative, technical and physical security measures to help prevent unauthorized access. Despite these measures, no data transmission over the Internet can be entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit via our websites or apps. Please note that you are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials used to access any C5 service or account, and you must report suspected unauthorized activity to us.

We make reasonable efforts to restrict access to information to only those employees, contractors and agents who need such access in order to operate, develop, improve, or deliver our programs, products and services.

10. European Economic Area (EEA) Notice

If you are located in a country in the European Union (EU) and utilize our Website tools which are offered to EU residents, or if we collect, track, use or process in some other way your personal information collected from you or through your use of our Website, or we transfer that personal information, we will do so in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the applicable Website Terms of Use (/terms-services/) and in compliance with applicable requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (GDPR).

Transfers of Personal Information
C5 is a data controller and is responsible for your personal information, which the C5 processes and stores in Canada. The European Commission has decided that Canada ensures an adequate level of protection of individuals’ personal information. C5 may use the following safeguards when transferring your personal information to a country, other than Canada, that is not within the EEA:

  1. Only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information;
  2. Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts which give personal data the same protection it has in the EU.

Opt-in
If you are an EU resident, we may only collect your data using cookies and similar devices, and then track and use your personal information where you have first consented to that. We will not automatically collect personal information from you unless you have consented to us doing so. If you consent to our use of cookies and similar devices, you may at a later date disable them.

Your Legal Rights
Under certain circumstances, as an EU resident, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including the right to:

Request access to your personal information.
This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of your personal information.
This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal information.
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 information 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 information 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 information.
You may exercise this right in the event that 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 information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information that override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing your personal information.
This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal information in the following scenarios:

  1. if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
  2. where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
  3. where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
  4. you have objected to our use of your personal information but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request transfer of your personal information.
Upon your request, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal information 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.

Right to withdraw (revoke) consent.
You may exercise this right where we are relying on consent to process your personal information. 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.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

Please also note that the following will apply:

No Fee Usually Required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What We May Need from You
We may need to request specific information from you to help us to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time Limit to Respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you have any questions, concerns or claims about this Privacy Policy and our privacy practices, please contact us.
