CUSTOMER PRIVACY POLICY
This Customer Privacy Policy governs the collection and use of personal information
relating to potential and existing customers of UBM Information Limited by the company

UBM Information is committed to abiding by this Customer Privacy Policy, as well
as the requirements of applicable laws, in the operation of its business. Please
read this policy carefully as it explains the kinds of personal information we collect
about you and how it is handled.
By your continued use of our services (including our web sites), you consent to
the collection and use of your personal information for the purposes set out in

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will generally let you know at the time of collection how we intend to use your
personal information. Usually, we collect personal information about you which we
require to respond to your inquires for payment processing and for the provision
of goods and services to you. We also process your personal information where we
are required to do so by law, and for the exercise or defence of legal claims. From
time to time, we may contact you for research purposes, or to tell you about our
special offers and other services in accordance with your contact preferences. Where
appropriate, we will obtain your consent to do so. Personal information collected
from you may include your name, payment processing information, postal address,
email address, landline or mobile telephone number, delivery details as well as
other non sensitive personal information. If you use our web sites, we may also
collect information about you or your computer when you browse to allow you to use
the services available.

If you reject the use of cookies please note that the efficient operation of the
web site that you are using may be affected. Most of the advertisements that you
see on the web sites are generated by third parties who may use cookies to track
viewing of their advertisements and for other purposes specified in their own privacy

THIRD PARTY
We will only disclose personal information about you internally and to third parties
for processing purposes associated with payment processing, the supply of goods
and services, for web site administration, or elsewhere when you have consented
to such disclosures, or where such disclosures are required or permitted by law.
These third parties we contractually bound only to use personal information to perform
the services that we hire them to provide. Where you have agreed that we may do
so, we may lease or rent your personal information to selected third parties for
their postal or telephone marketing use.
TRANSFER OF DATA
Third party data processors, advertisers, exhibitors and other such business relationships
outside of the EEA, are required to take adequate technical and organisational safeguards
to protect personal information. We also take measures to ensure that personal information
transferred by us outside of the EEA is adequately protected.
VIRTUAL PRODUCTS
In the case of your use of one of our virtual products e.g. Building Careers Show,
we will pass the information you provided to us to 3rd parties. Generally this will
be via a process whereby you, as the user, choose to give your digital business
card to a 3rd party eg: virtual exhibition. However, in some instances our virtual
shows are sponsored and, in such cases the data you provided to us will be given
to the sponsor. Generally we will let you know at the time of collection if a show
is sponsored.
If once you have registered and entered the show, you wish to change your contact
preferences with each individual exhibitor, please following their own unsubscribe
request details. Unsubscribing to the UBM Information website will stop UBM Information
from contacting you in the future, but not the individual exhibitors to whom you
have given your data to.
EMAIL CAPTURE
UBM Information Ltd may from time to time send updates about this product and other
relevant UBM Information products and services. Your email will not be given to
3rd parties. By providing your email address you consent to being contacted by email
for direct marketing purposes by UBM Information Ltd.
MOBILE PHONE CAPTURE
By providing your mobile number you consent to UBM Information Ltd contacting you

to keep pursuant to any applicable law, will be routinely destroyed by secure means.
