**D4LUX EVENTS LTD Privacy Notice Pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016 (“GDPR”)**
We inform you that the personal data provided by the data subject ("you"), either for yourself or for the organization you represent, to D4LUX EVENTS LTD, on the occasion of or in connection with events, exhibitions, conferences/congresses, workshops, webinars, and/or “business meetings with personal and/or virtual encounters” (the “Events”) organized, hosted, or attended by us, also in collaboration with third-party partners, are processed in compliance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, proportionality, necessity, accuracy, completeness, and security, as well as other current legal obligations.
The “Events” may also take place on online platforms (e.g., SWAPCARD, My Agenda, etc.), both in virtual and on-site or full digital form; these platforms allow online meetings between exhibitors and visitors/buyers, creating opportunities such as an agenda of meetings that directly connect the interested parties. Visitors/buyers can use these platforms to request contact with the exhibitors present through actions such as saving one or more exhibitors to their “favorites” list, chatting, networking, specific appointment requests, etc.
**Categories of Data Subjects. Processing Operations and Collection Methods**
The data processed concern customers (i.e., exhibitors, visitors, buyers, conference/congress participants, workshop, webinar, and/or business meeting attendees who have held the respective role in the last 10 years) and prospects (subjects who have expressed interest in the “Events” in the last 10 years – for example, through the completion of this form – journalists), considered as natural persons over 14 years of age acting in their own capacity and/or as internal representatives of legal entities, institutions, or other organizations. The individual categories of data collected are indicated in our data collection forms, which complement this notice.
Processing is carried out using electronic and paper tools and logic connected to the specific purposes stated below. D4LUX EVENTS LTD collects data i) through online forms, paper forms, or pre-registration or participation apps completed by you and/or acquired by third-party operators authorized by us, or ii) through mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones present at the “Events.”
The collected data may be processed by personnel expressly authorized by D4LUX EVENTS LTD, strictly within the limits necessary to carry out the assigned activities (e.g., legal, commercial, marketing, administrative, logistics, IT, management control offices, etc.).
**Purpose of Processing**
Processing serves the following purposes:
1. Compliance with contractual and legal obligations arising from participation in the initiative contracted with the data subject, whether in virtual, on-site, or full digital form, allowing participation, via a dedicated platform, in virtual business meetings, including exhibitor presentations of texts, videos, presentations, live sessions; insights and trends paths, guided tour paths, sharing and communication of important corporate events, among other optional services. Exhibitors requesting data publication in the Event catalog will have their data automatically transferred to the platform (e.g., Swapcard). Visitors/buyers will have access to a form and the ability to search all exhibitor profiles on the digital platform, as well as interact with related content (public comments on event page content, groups, etc.), contact forms (event participation, private messages, invitation-only groups, etc.).
D4LUX EVENTS LTD may, in fulfillment of the contractual relationship aimed at facilitating relationships between exhibitors and visitors/buyers, communicate the contact details of visitors/buyers who have shown interest in requesting a meeting/appointment with the chosen exhibitor or who have expressed interest in one or more exhibitors, to said exhibitors through specific actions (e.g., chat, networking, saving the exhibitor to favorites, specific appointment requests, etc.) on dedicated digital platforms (e.g., Swapcard, My Agenda, etc.). In this case, the data will be processed by the exhibitor as an Independent Data Controller.
2. Planning and organizational management of the “Events,” e.g., issuing and paying titles, accrediting and issuing entry passes (including verifying payment made through third-party services), managing contracts we have with third-party suppliers of goods and/or services used by you during or in connection with the “Events,” publishing your name and surname or company name and social reason, phone number, email in the online and printed public catalog of the “Events” you attend; communication, at your request, of pre-contractual information (e.g., programs, proposals, etc.) related to the “Events,” drafting invitation letters for visa requests. As part of this purpose, D4LUX EVENTS LTD may also offer visitors/buyers the ability to use QR code technology, allowing them to transmit their data directly to the exhibitor of interest at their stand, or scan the QR code at the chosen exhibitor’s stand. In both cases, the data will be processed by the exhibitor as an Independent Data Controller.
3. Sending by D4LUX EVENTS LTD (via email, regular mail, SMS, MMS, push-up messages, instant messaging functions such as WhatsApp, fax, operator phone calls, social networks, and other automated tools) of commercial communications, advertisements, and sales offers for products/services similar to those of your interest or related to exhibition/congress products/services and/or connected to them (e.g., sector publishing, championships/competitions, etc.) – collectively defined as “soft spam.”
4. Profiling carried out by D4LUX EVENTS LTD.
