The list below explains those uses for which we have a legitimate business interest. 

  • Event Registration 
    You may register on our Sites for Access GC LLC-sponsored or jointly-sponsored events. You may provide us with information such as your name, telephone number and email address when registering for an event. We use this information to register you for the event and contact you about changes and updates regarding the event. We process personal information for these purposes because we have a legitimate interest in hosting and administering our events. We also may use the information to communicate with you about other events and topics that we believe may be of interest to you, subject to obtaining your consent in accordance with applicable law. 

  • News, Alerts and Publications 
    On our Sites, you may sign up to receive news, alerts and publications from Access GC LLC. To sign up, we may ask you for information such as your name, address, telephone number, email address and topics of interest. We use the information you provide to send you the communications you request. We also may use the information to communicate with you about other topics that we believe may be of interest to you. We process personal information for these purposes because we have a legitimate interest in providing the requested updates to you, unless obtaining your consent to do so is required by applicable law. 

  • Blogs 
    You may be able to submit comments to an Access GC LLC blog. You may include personal information in your comment, and you also may submit your name and email address with your comment. We may use your name to identify you as a commenter. You also may subscribe to get an RSS feed or email of our blog by submitting your email address. We use this information to send you the information you request and to communicate with you in connection with our blog, subject to obtaining your consent in accordance with applicable law. 

  • Contact Us 
    If you communicate with us through the “Contact Us” link on our Sites, we may ask you for information such as your name, email address and telephone number so we can respond to your questions and comments. We process personal information for these purposes because we have a legitimate interest in responding to communications from users of the Sites. We also may use the information you provide to communicate with you about topics that we believe may be of interest to you, subject to obtaining your consent in accordance with applicable law. 

  • Other Site Features 
    Our Sites offer various features, which we may change from time to time. We may ask you to submit certain personal information so we can provide you with and communicate with you about these features, subject to obtaining your consent in accordance with applicable law. 

  • Other Uses of Information 
    We may use the personal information you provide on the Sites for our internal purposes. These purposes include the administration of the Sites, market research and data analytics. We process personal information for these purposes because we have a legitimate interest in administering and understanding how our Sites are used. 

 

We may also use the personal information we collect to protect us against and prevent fraud, claims and other liabilities and to comply with or enforce applicable legal requirements, and our policies and terms. We use personal information for these purposes when it is necessary to protect, exercise or defend our legal rights, or when we are required to do so by a law that applies to us. 

Personal Information We Collect by Automated Means 
 

We collect certain information automatically when you visit our Sites, such as the number of users visiting our Sites and the pages they access. By collecting this information, we learn how to best tailor the Sites to our visitors. We collect this information through various means such as cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, and other technologies. Please see our Cookie Policy for further information. 

 

Our Sites may use analytics to create statistical reports. These reports would tell us, for example, how many users visited our Sites, what pages have been browsed, and from what geographic regions users visited the Sites. The information collected through the use of analytics may include, for example, your IP address, the web browser from which you visited us, the type of device you used and the search query that led you to the Sites. Your IP address is masked on our systems and will only be used on a need-to-know basis to resolve technical issues, to administer our Sites and to understand visitor preferences. Traffic information on our Sites is accessed only by authorized personnel. We do not use any of this information to directly identify visitors and we do not share it with third parties, other than as described in this Privacy Notice. We process personal information for these purposes because we have a legitimate interest in understanding how our Sites are used. Our websites are not designed to respond to “do not track” signals received from browsers. 

 

Information We Share 
 

We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information visitors submit through our Sites, except as described in this Privacy Notice. We may share your information among Access GC LLC-related entities for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We may also share the information with any of our joint marketing partners, who may communicate with you about other events and topics. Additionally, we may share your information with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf (for example, to process online registration forms for events or to administer our blog). These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or pursuant to legal process, (ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. 
 
We reserve the right to transfer any information we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to try to require that the transferee use personal information you have provided through this website in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice. 

 

 

Links to Other Sites 
 

Occasionally, we may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. These websites operate independently from our Sites and are not under our control. These sites may have their own privacy notices or terms of use, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any linked websites. We are not responsible for the content of these sites, any products or services that may be offered through these sites, or any other use of the linked sites. 

 

How We Protect Personal Information 
 

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards for the Sites designed to protect against loss, misuse or unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of the personal information we collect through our Sites. 

 

Information We Transfer 
 

We may transfer the personal information we collect through the Sites to other countries where we do business, which may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you originally provided the data. 

We comply with applicable legal requirements by providing adequate protection for the transfer of personal information to data recipients in countries outside of the UK and the European Economic Area. To the extent that these data recipients are in countries that have not been recognized by the European Commission and by UK law as providing an adequate level of data protection, we use appropriate safeguards aimed at ensuring such a level of data protection is in place, including by entering into the European Commission’s EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“EU SCCs”) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Addendum to the EU SCCs with the data recipients or ensuring that the data recipient has certified to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or has implemented Binding Corporate Rules. To obtain a copy of the safeguards, please contact us as indicated below. 

 

How Long We Keep Information 
 

We will keep your personal information for the time period necessary to achieve the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, taking into account applicable statute of limitation periods and records retention requirements under applicable law.
