Privacy
Introduction:
ClickExpo Ltd and its associated companies (hereinafter together referred to as "ClickExpo", "we", "us" or "our") respect your personal privacy. We value the confidentiality of the information which you provide when you visit and/or register as a 'user' on our websites or other online facilities and are committed to complying with applicable data protection and privacy laws.
If you do submit personal information via our websites, we will collect, use and disclose your personal information in a manner consistent with the laws of the countries in which we do business. The purpose of this policy is to enable you to understand how we do this and to assist you to make informed decisions where you might provide us with personal information.
You can also be assured that we will only use your information to provide you with updates about ClickExpo products and services that you have indicated you are interested in receiving.
Before providing us with any personal information you are required to read this policy carefully and to confirm that you have done so and consent to the use of your information in accordance with this policy. By using our websites, you will signify your continued agreement to this policy and consent to the collection and use of your information as described in this policy. If you do not agree with any term in this policy, please cease to use our websites immediately.
Data protection guidelines:
The Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC ("the Directive"), which has been implemented by most countries in the European Union, safeguards the privacy of an individual's personal details. Although the Directive is applicable only to countries within the European Union, ClickExpo has adopted its principles as the basis for its worldwide best practice data protection policy and those principles are reflected in this policy.
Use and type of data:
We collect and record your personal information (which may include your name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone and fax numbers) only with your knowledge and consent - which will be required to be given before you provide personal information to us. This will typically be when you make enquiries, use services, register for information or services, or respond to our communications.
We will use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was provided/collected and as authorized by you. We will use your personal information for our internal business purposes including (for example only) improving our websites and operations, for fulfilling requests, for administrative purposes and in order to comply with any law or court order.
As stated above, we will not send you marketing e-mails unless you have consented to receive them.
It is our policy not to sell or share any of your personal information with companies or persons outside ClickExpo.
Disclosure of data:
Personal data will not be disclosed outside ClickExpo unless you have specifically consented and/ or been informed that information will be so disclosed prior to you providing the information. We may need to disclose your personal information to our suppliers, agents and subcontractors where, for example, this is necessary for fulfilling orders or requests or for complying with our other obligations. Where personal data is disclosed outside ClickExpo, we will where necessary place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the third parties concerned to use and disclose the personal data and will require such third parties to adhere to similar data privacy rules as ClickExpo.
Transfer of data:
Personal data will only be transferred between ClickExpo locations and third party locations if adequate protection (being that which meets the requirements of the Directive) of personal data can be reasonably assumed at the locations concerned. Where we are required to do so, we will implement appropriate contracts to ensure the privacy of your personal details.
Security:
We will take reasonable precautions to protect personal information in our possession from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. You should be aware, however, that communications over the Internet (which includes e-mails to ClickExpo and registering as a user on our websites) are not secure unless they have been encrypted and we do not accept any responsibility for any errors or omissions which arise from circumstances outside our reasonable control.
You are responsible for all use of ClickExpo's websites made using your username and password, whether or not the use is made by you or another party using the relevant username and password. You are also responsible for protecting and securing the confidentiality of your username and password from unauthorised use; if you believe there has been a breach of security of your username or password, you should notify
info@clickexpo. ClickExpo is not obliged to verify the identity or authorisation of any person using its websites where such use is made via a username and password.
Cookies (Digital Tracking):
A cookie is a small text file that is stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Any information you provide to ClickExpo is held securely on our web servers and not on your machine.
Where we use cookies, they make it possible for us to identify registered users without needing to ask for registration details every time you use one of our sites. Using cookies makes accessing our sites more convenient as you don't need to remember your username each time you enter. We may also use cookies to track registered or unregistered users as they travel through the site - for instance, we might use cookies to count the total number of unique users who are accessing the site over a particular period of time. The use of cookies in this way helps to make our systems more efficient.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you would prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the website will not function properly if you do so.
Opting to have an automatic login cookie on your computer's hard drive will allow you to simplify the login process, unless you have cookies disabled in your browser. Firewalls set up by your company network may also prohibit the use of browser cookies. If you would like to know more about cookies, or would like to disable cookies in your browser settings (i.e. refuse cookies) please visit
