We only process your Data when the intended processing(s) can be justified by one of the following four (4) legal bases:

I. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps at your request into contract

II. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation

III. The processing constitutes a legitimate interest for us

Where we have a legitimate interest in processing your Data, we take care not to override your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Furthermore, we take care to guarantee that you can object, at the time of collection of your Data and subsequently, to the processing of your Data, justified by a legitimate interest, since the purposes of this processing relate to commercial prospecting.

The visitor is expressly informed, and as such, is deemed to expressly accept that by using this service made available by GL events, part of their Data (company name, surname, first name, postal address, email, telephone and mobile) will be transferred to the exhibitor for whom the service was used, notwithstanding the fact that the visitor, at the time of registration or pre-registration, refused to transmit their Data to partners.

We may also use trusted third parties such as service providers (IT service provider, invoicing software, etc.), who may then be recipients of your Data when necessary to achieve the purposes described above.

Finally, we may also share your Data with subsidiaries of the GL events Group, if this is necessary for the execution of a contract or the provision of a service that you have requested from GL EVENTS.

Some of these trusted third parties and some subsidiaries of the GL events Group may be located outside the European Union. Where necessary, appropriate guarantees have been taken, in particular by implementing standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.
