How Will Sponsors Use Information Collected About You?

The sponsors will only use your personal data in ways permitted by law, which may or may not include consent, depending on the type of data obtained. For information you provide directly, the sponsors will only use this data for the specific purpose for which it was submitted, unless the sponsors consider that they need to use it for another reason compatible with the original purpose. The sponsors take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures, including appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where personal data is stored. In circumstances where you provide the website with personal information to register for one of the sponsors’ events, the sponsors may share such information with contractors or agents employed in the course of planning or hosting of such event. In doing so, access is restricted to personal data to sponsor employees, contractors, and agents who need to know that information to process it on the sponsors’ behalf. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations. The sponsors may also share the personal information if they have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request.
