BusinessGlobal.com Privacy Policy

BusinessGlobal.com values the privacy of its users, including all exhibitors, sponsors, visitors, and others (individually or collectively, “user” or “users“) that organize, participate in, visit and contribute to virtual events hosted on the BusinessGlobal.com proprietary virtual exhibition platform, and that otherwise use www.businessglobal.com and its associated websites, products, and services (collectively, “BusinessGlobal.com” or “our websites”). This Privacy Policy details our practices with respect to any information you provide to us, or that we acquire through your use of BusinessGlobal.com, and explains how we may collect, use, and in some instances share this information. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the BusinessGlobal.com Terms of Use. Your use of BusinessGlobal.com and any personal information you provide to us are subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use.
Please note that BusinessGlobal.com allows certain third party organisers and contributors to host virtual events. BusinessGlobal.com hosts these virtual events and collects the information described below on behalf of such third parties. The practices below describe how BusinessGlobal.com treats your information, but you must review the privacy policies of the relevant third party or parties to determine how each may handle your information.

The Information BusinessGlobal.com Collects

User Provided Information: You may provide to BusinessGlobal.com what is generally called “personally identifiable” information when you participate in any BusinessGlobal.com online trade fair or virtual event – this includes but may not be limited to your name, user name, address, company name, telephone number, email address and other contact information. Third party organizers and contributors can customize their offerings and events, and may thus require additional information.

Please be aware that any information you share on any publicly available portion of BusinessGlobal.com or with third parties, including without limitation your pavilion, instant messages, forum posts, blogs and business cards – or any other information you provide to sponsors, associates, co-organisers, visitors or other exhibitors – may be collected and used by others without restriction. In addition, depending on the type of event, some of the following fields may be displayed throughout BusinessGlobal.com: first and last name, company, and avatars/images. Third parties may enable attendees to search for and find other attendees based on registration information. If you associate your actual name or other personally identifiable information with your first and last name, company, and avatars/images, the people to whom you have revealed such information will be able to personally identify your activities on BusinessGlobal.com.

“Cookies” Information: When you access BusinessGlobal.com and/or our individual exhibition websites, we may send one or more cookies – small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters – to your computer. BusinessGlobal.com may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser, while a persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to BusinessGlobal.com. Persistent cookies can be removed. Please review your web browser “Help” file to learn the best way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent you from accessing some of the functionality available on our websites.

“Automatically Collected” Information: When you visit BusinessGlobal.com or open one of our emails, we may record certain information from your web browser by using different types of technology, including “clear gifs” or “web beacons”. This “automatically collected” information may include your Internet Protocol address (”IP Address“), web browser properties, information regarding plug-ins, bandwidth metrics, the web pages or sites that you visit just before or just after visiting BusinessGlobal.com, the pages you view on our websites, and the dates and times when you visit.

The Way BusinessGlobal.com Uses Information

BusinessGlobal.com uses the information we collect to host virtual events, both on our own and on behalf of third parties, and to provide to you all of the features and services found on our websites. We will use your email address, without further consent, for marketing or administrative purposes, such as notifying you of major site updates, providing you with market information, and informing you about BusinessGlobal.com and/or our partners’ upcoming events and promotional activities.
BusinessGlobal.com may use all of the information that we collect from users to understand usage trends and preferences, to improve the way our websites work and look, to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, and to create new features and functionality.
BusinessGlobal.com may use automatically collected information and cookies information to:
(a) remember your information so you will not have to re-enter it during subsequent visits to our websites;
(b) provide custom, personalized advertisements, content, and information;
(c) monitor the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns;
(d) monitor aggregate usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed.

BusinessGlobal.com maintains the right to use your email address or other personally identifiable information to send you promotional or marketing messages without further consent than that indicated by your use of our websites, unless you contact us directly, via email or in writing, and request that we do not.

When BusinessGlobal.com Discloses Information

Except as otherwise noted in this Privacy Policy, BusinessGlobal.com does not share personal information about users with third parties unless doing so is appropriate to carry out a user’s request or it reasonably believes doing so is legally required or is in the interest of BusinessGlobal.com to protect its property or other legal rights or the rights or property of others. We do not share user information with third-party organizations for their marketing or promotional use without your consent or except as part of a specific program or feature, for which you will have the ability to opt-in or out.

Important Note Regarding Third Parties

Please note that BusinessGlobal.com hosts some events on behalf of third parties, and these third parties therefore have access to all information collected through our websites. You should consult the respective privacy policies of these third parties to determine how they will handle your information – the BusinessGlobal.com Privacy Policy does not apply to such third parties or their use of your information, and we do not control their use of your information. If you would prefer that BusinessGlobal.com not disclose your personal information to any such third party, please contact us at privacy@businessglobal.com. Be aware, however, that any information you publicly display or share, or that is accessible on any of our websites, may already be in the possession of these third parties, despite your decision to opt-out.
BusinessGlobal.com may disclose both personally identifiable and automatically collected information to affiliated companies or other businesses or persons to process such information on our behalf, to provide website maintenance and security, to offer certain features, to assist us in improving the way our websites look and work, and to create new features. We require that these parties agree to process such information in compliance with our Privacy Policy, we use reasonable efforts to limit their use of such information, and we require these parties to use any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

We may share automatically collected and other aggregate non-personally-identifiable information with interested third parties to assist them in understanding usage patterns for certain content, services, advertisements, promotions, and/or functionality on our websites.

Your Choices

You may, of course, decline to share your personally-identifiable information with BusinessGlobal.com, in which case we will not be able to provide to you some or all of the features and functionality found on our websites. You have access to and may update, correct, or delete your information and preferences at any time by contacting us at privacy@businessglobal.com. You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and registration information at all times.

Children

Consistent with the US Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), we will never knowingly request personally-identifiable information from anyone under the age of eighteen (18), and nothing on our websites is directed to persons under 18. Any person who provides their personal information to BusinessGlobal.com represents that they are 18 years of age or older.

Third-Party Services

Our websites may contain links to websites and services provided by third parties. Any information you provide on third-party sites or services is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that party’s policies. We are not responsible for the content or practices and policies of third-party sites or services to which links are displayed on any of our websites. We encourage you to learn about third parties’ privacy and security policies before providing them with any of your personally-identifiable information.

Our Commitment to Data Security

We use secure server software and firewalls to protect your personally-identifiable information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, this is not a guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of such firewalls and secure server software.
No data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us – you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems.

If BusinessGlobal.com learns of a security systems breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically so you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice on our websites if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive a free written notice of a security breach, please notify us at privacy@businessglobal.com.

Changes and Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will also revise the “Last Updated” section below. For changes to this Privacy Policy that may be materially less restrictive on our use or disclosure of personal information you have provided to us, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain your consent before implementing the change. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we protect the information we collect. Your continued use of any and all BusinessGlobal.com websites constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
