We collect a variety of information from you when you provide it to us directly, such as:

• Website contact form information: When you contact us through our website for inquiries or to register to our newsletter, you must provide us with basic information such as your name and email address.

This is information we receive that you do not directly provide when you use the Services. We get it from other users of the Services, third-party services we use to provide the Services, from information we collect and from our partners and vendors. We collect this information through:

• Your social media accounts: Such as the number of followers you have on your LinkedIn account.

For example, we may engage with you verbally, by e-mail or use other sources to get this information.

For example, we may collect information about your professional role, professional and academic experience, and your contact information from such sources.

4. Purposes and Legal bases for processing your information

We use your information in order to provide, operate, improve, understand, customize, support, and market our Services.

As a Controller, Beta-i processes your data for the following purposes and on the following legal grounds:

1. when we have a legitimate interest. This is applicable when the interest is not overridden by your data protection interests;
   • Communicating with you: We use your personal information to contact you regarding your registration to a Program, to present new opportunities that might be relevant for you, to notify you of any changes to our policies and practices, for commercial, sales, or investment purposes, and to respond to any requests or inquiries you may submit to us.
   • Provide, develop and improve the Services: We process your information as necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in improving the Program and our other Services, such as our Program websites. For example, we may use your information to conduct data analysis across our Services.
   • Website management : We process your information in accordance with our legitimate interests of marketing the Services to you. For example, we use your information to market future Programs to you and to exhibit attending companies.
   • Market the Services: we use your personal information for website management, in accordance with our Cookie Policy.
2. when necessary to provide you with the Services (performance of a contract);
   • Providing and improving the requested Services: We use your personal information as necessary to run our Services, such as to register program attendees, facilitate information sharing with partners with whom you have consented for us to share information, and provide you with relevant connections and content based on this information. In this context, we can also act as a Processor, acting on behalf of our Clients.
3. where you have consented to the processing, which you may withdraw at any time;
   • Marketing: If you opt-in to receiving marketing communications from us, we will use your personal information for outreach and marketing, such as to send you information about our future Programs. You can opt-out of these communications by using the unsubscribe links in our communications. We may also use your information in order to market the Program. For example, we sometimes use your image in our published list of Program attendees. If you want to object to this use, please contact us here at data.protection@beta-i.com.
   • We may also use your image in our marketing materials in order to highlight the attendees participating in the Program. We also use photos and audio-visual footage from past Programs which may contain your image or voice. If you want to exercise your right to object to any of these uses please email us at data.protection@beta-i.com.
4. when necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation such as:
   • Management of tender procedures;
   • Document archiving;
   • Compulsory insurance contracting;
   • Mandatory communications to public authorities;
   • Compliance with other legal or regulatory obligations.

5. Sharing with third parties

We share information with Program attendees, service providers, partners, and other third parties where it is necessary to provide the Services, and for other purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as:

• Other attendees: Our Services, such as the Programs, are set up with the means of allowing attendees to connect with each other. For example, you may share personally identifiable information about you and your business when applying to a program. The application information that you choose to provide, will be accessible to the program partners. When you apply to a Program, you consent to the sharing of your contact information with these individuals and companies.
• When we need to comply with applicable laws and requests: When we believe that sharing your personally identifiable information with third-party is required to comply with an applicable law, regulation or request by a government entity, to protect ourselves, our users or others from harm or illegal actions, to respond to an emergency that threatens a person, to fulfill your support requirements and/or to generally protect the security and integrity of the Service.
• Service Providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to help us operate, provide, improve, understand, customize, support, and market our Services. These third parties provide us with services such as data hosting, e-mail delivery, testing, analytics, support infrastructure, and other areas. The use of these services requires the relevant third-party to access or use personally identifiable information about you. These third parties are contractually required to use it only to provide their service to us, and prohibited from using it for their own purposes.
• Business reorganisation: In instances where we are subject to a reorganisation, such as a merger or acquisition of some or all of its assets, we may, in accordance with our legitimate interests, need to share information in the course of the transaction. In such circumstances, your information may be disclosed, where permitted by applicable law, in connection with such corporate restructuring, sale, or assignment of assets, merger, or other changes of control or financial status.
• Aggregated information: We may also share aggregated or de-identified information, such as program attendee job titles with companies we do business with.

When Beta-i uses subcontractors in the situations described above, technical and organisational measures are adopted in order to ensure that these entities offer the highest guarantees, which are duly established and contractually provided for.

6. Other Retention

Your information will be stored until (A) you send us a written objection to us, (B) 10 (ten) years from the date of collection or more if a specific legal requirement is applicable, or (C) 2 (two) years from the date of collection when the data is collected under a human resources application through our Site.

Whenever there is no specific legal requirement, the data will be stored and kept only for the minimum period necessary for the purposes that motivated their collection or their subsequent processing, after which they will be deleted.

7. Data transfers

We collect information globally and primarily store that information in the United States on our own servers and that of our service providers as part of providing the Services. User data processing may involve disclosure to third parties or information storage in countries outside the territory of the European Union which may have different data privacy standards and protections than those which apply to your home country. We transfer your personal information in accordance with law, and take steps to ensure that your information is appropriately protected.

Data transfers outside the European Economic Area will be subject to appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable law, with Beta-i committing itself to carry out only necessary transfers and to entities that guarantee the adoption of adequate technical and organisational measures.

8. Your rights
