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.
Your rights to withdraw your consent and to object (including to direct marketing)
Wherever we rely on your consent to process personal data, you always have a right to withdraw that consent.
You also have the right to object to any use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, as well as to processing that we undertake based on our legitimate interests (including profiling).
Your other personal data rights
In addition to your rights to withdraw your consent and to object, you have the right to ask us:
- for access to information about your personal data or for a copy of your personal data
- 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
For direct marketing, the easiest way to stop receiving information from us is by opting out of communications via the ‘unsubscribe’ link, at the bottom of every newsletter email we send you. You can also email hello@o3e.co.uk.
If you have previously attended one of our events or requested information on an event, we may hold further data about you, in line with ‘the types of personal data we collect about you’ in our client database. We will only use this in accordance with our ‘why we process your personal data’ policy.

This is likely to be the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK.
