Personal Data Transfers outside of the EEA
The EEA includes all EU countries, as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Some of the third parties that we store your personal data with mean we need to transfer personal data outside of the EEA, for example to the United States of America.
Where your personal data is transferred to a country outside of the EEA and that country is not subject to an EU adequacy decision, we will ensure your data is protected by appropriate safeguards in line with EU General Data Protection Regulations.
How long we retain your personal data
We retain your personal data for as long as you remain actively engaged with us. This is determined through you either opening or clicking on emails and newsletters, engaging in telephone or face to face meetings, or contacting us via post.
With respect to 'event bookings' and 'event enquiries' we retain personal data relating to your confirmed or enquired events for several years. This is to understand your purchasing preferences and to meet our legal and contractual obligations. It also allows us to pull up event information, should you have subsequent enquiries about it.
Where you have asked us not to send you direct marketing, we keep a record of that fact to ensure we respect your request in future.
We also retain information with the potential to give rise to legal disputes for 7 years.

- to correct or delete your personal data
- to restrict (i.e. stop any active) processing of your personal data
- to provide you with certain personal data in a structured, machine readable format and to transmit that data to another organisation
These rights may not always apply, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have a compelling legitimate interest in keeping. If this is the case then we’ll let you know when we respond to your request.
How to contact us and exercise your data rights
