How do we share your information?

We do not sell your information

We do not sell the personal information of any customer or vendor to third parties, and we also do not allow the third parties with whom we share your personal information to sell it. We do not sell the personal information of minors under sixteen (16) years of age. While we may be permitted to sell anonymized and de-identified data, as defined by applicable laws, note that such data can no longer identify an individual.

How we may share/disclose your information with third parties

We may share your personal information with other members of our group of companies and with selected third parties for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, as well as to determine your satisfaction with the services and/or products that we may be providing you. These third parties will not use your personal information for any other purposes than what we have agreed to with them, and we request those third parties to implement adequate levels of protection in order to safeguard your personal information.

Since the Company operates globally, as noted above the data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of the country in which you reside (e.g. outside the US, UK, European Economic Area (“EEA”), Australia, Canada, etc.). For example, it may be processed by staff operating outside your country or region who work for us, our subsidiaries, or for one of our suppliers in relation to the fulfillment of your order or administration of your agreement (e.g. in the U.S., Costa Rica, etc.). While the information is under our control, the Company seeks to ensure that your personal information receives the same level of protection as it would had it stayed within your home country, including seeking to ensure that it is kept secure and used only in accordance with our instructions and for legitimate purposes.

Corporate Transactions

In the event we go through a business transition, such as a merger, assignment, acquisition of another company, or sale of part or all of our assets(including due to a sale in connection with a bankruptcy), we may disclose your personal information to third parties and your personal data held may be among one of the assets transferred. We will require any such purchaser, assignee or other successor business entity to honor the terms of this Privacy Policy or those at least equal to it.

Aggregated, Anonymized or De-identified Information

In some circumstances we may anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. This allows the specific information collected (name, email, address, phone number, etc.) to become anonymous, but allows us to keep the transaction or engagement data. For example, we will not be able to tell if John Smith registered for an event, but we will be able to tell that a person registered for an event and maintain headcount and transactional history. This will allow us to maintain a level of information that helps us develop and improve our sites products and services.

Disclosure of Information for Legal Purposes

We may disclose or share your personal information: to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation; to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements; to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our customers, or others; or as otherwise permitted or required by law. This could include, for example, exchanging information with a law enforcement agency or regulator; or with companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Note that in certain jurisdictions we may also be permitted to use or disclose certain forms of government identifiers in compliance with local laws, such as under Australian law where we may be authorized to do so by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order, and/or when reasonably necessary to fulfill our obligations to a federal, state or territorial government agency.

How do we store and protect your personal information?

We will store your information only for the period required to serve a legitimate purpose or as required by law. In general, storage may be for the duration of our commercial relationship, for as long as you can bring a claim against us and for us to be able to defend ourselves, and/or for any period required by tax and other applicable laws and regulations. We will take a range of reasonable measures to protect your personal information and to store it in a secure environment, whether that is in paper and/or electronic form. We will also take reasonable steps to protect any personal information from misuse, loss and/or unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. Authorized employees, representatives and agents will have access to your personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice.

Please note that we may not always be able to fulfill your request as there may be legitimate purposes, such as certain legal or statutory obligations, that require us to retain your information as stored or if we believe the change would cause the information to be incorrect.

However, as necessary, we will work with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding our processing of personal data that we cannot resolve with a complainant directly.

California

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), if you are a California resident, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information that are described in this section. We do not sell personal information to third parties. The types of personal information that we may collect from you will vary depending on the MSTS entity and/or the services you may engage us to provide. Under the CCPA, the different categories of personal information we might collect including, but not be limited to: identifiers (e.g. contact information, government IDs, cookies); information protected against security breaches (e.g. name and financial account, social security number, username and password, or medical information); protected classification information (e.g. race, gender); commercial information; internet/electronic activity; geolocation; audio/video data; professional or employment related information; education information; biometrics; and inferences from the foregoing categories.

California residents who have provided their personal information to us have certain rights and may make various requests to exercise those rights under the CCPA. Qualifying individuals have the right, for example, to request: (i) information regarding the collection or disclosures and/or sale, if any, of their personal information to third parties; (ii) no more than twice every 12 month period, copies of personal information collected about them over the last 12 months; (iii) that we not sell their personal information to third parties, which we already do not do; and (iv) that such personal information be deleted under certain circumstances. Qualifying individuals also have the right not to be discriminated against because they exercised any of the rights provided for under the CCPA.

As a California resident, you have the right to designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. By submitting sufficient and verifiable documentation (e.g. an agency form) along with your request, you can designate an authorized agent to make requests under the CCPA related to your personal information. To help better protect your personal data we can deny any request by an agent who does not submit sufficient proof that he or she has been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking across websites. Most modern web browsers give you the option to send a Do Not Track signal to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no accepted standard for how a website should respond to this signal, so we do not take any action in response to this signal. The Company does not have a mechanism in place to respond to DNT signals. Instead, in addition to publicly available third-party tools, we offer you the choices described in this Privacy Policy to manage the collection and use of information about you.

We do track some activity across websites (e.g. your search terms, the website you visited before you visited or used the services and other clickstream data) and we may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy from web browsers that have enabled DNT signals or similar mechanisms.

We may need to collect additional information to verify the identity and legitimacy of the requesting party, and we will respond within 45 clays of receiving such requests as required under the law. Such requests may be submitted to us using the contact details and methods described above.

If you are dissatisfied with how we have dealt with your personal information, please contact us at the details above so that we can try to find a solution. You may ultimately choose to raise your concern with the applicable data privacy regulator. For California, the Attorney General’s office may be contacted via the details provided here.
