EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Notice
By the very nature of the Champion Events business model, the protection of personal and information is a high priority. We have always sought to ensure that rights of our clients and their people are respected and safeguarded in order to protect their privacy.
Champion Events has always devoted resources to ensure the security, confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data we control and process. We are committed to continuously evaluating and improving our policies, standards, processes and information systems to keep data safe, effectively support our clients and business services, and to comply with legal requirements.

Champion Events recognises the passing of the GDPR as an opportunity to evaluate and further enhance the effectiveness and resilience of our security framework with a particular focus on the rights of data subjects.
We have had an independent consultant review how we operate our processes, systems and data gathering activities in alignment with the existing EU Data Protection Directive and we are well positioned to fully comply with the General Data Protection Regulations.

What is personal data?
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identifiable or identified person (you as a user). An identifiable person is someone who can be identified, directly or indirectly, for example by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.
The processing of special categories of data, defined as personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade-union membership, and data concerning health or sex life, is prohibited, subject to certain exceptions.
Personal data which we handle
Your personal data may only be processed by us with your given consent, when it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or when it is necessary for our compliance with a legal obligation. The processing of the personal data, the specific purposes for the processing, the legal basis for the processing, and for how long we store your personal data, is described below.
Name
Your name will be processed by us when a client provides us with your details to attend an event we are organising on their behalf, when you contact us and when you register or register interest for an event we are managing, and the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interest for us. Your name will be kept securely with us for the length of a contract relationship where you are a party and two years thereafter. We will store your name in our cloud data storage provider Google and, if required, our meeting database/1-2-1 system for an event, provided by Delegate Select. This sharing with third is necessary for our performance of our part of the contract.

We will process your email address when you fill in the contact form on our website. We will store your email address in our cloud data storage provider Google and, if required, our meeting database/1-2-1 system for an event, provided by Delegate Select and the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests for us. Your email address will be kept securely with us for the length of a contract relationship where you are a party, and for two years thereafter.

For contact purposes during our contract relationship, your phone number will be processed by us, as it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests for us. Your phone number will be kept for two years after the end of the contract relationship, and it will be stored in our cloud data storage provider Google and, if required, our meeting database/1-2-1 system for an event, provided by Delegate Select
National insurance number
If you are a consultant paid by us, we are required by law to collect and process your national insurance number. It is necessary for us to perform on a legal obligation, and your national insurance number will be kept by us for the length of a contract relationship to which you are a party, and two years thereafter.
Professional details
To ensure that we are in contact with the proper contact point within your organization, we may collect and process your professional details, as it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interest for us. This category of personal data will be kept securely with us for the term of a contract where to which you are a party and for two years thereafter.
Other details
We may collect other personal details to help us provide the correct level of service to you when organising an event which you will be attending. This information may include dietary preferences, partner details and travel information. Such information will be kept in the event database and will be deleted upon conclusion of the event.
Sharing details at events to arrange 1-2-1 meetings
Some of our events include the ability to share your details with other delegates, especially when arranging 1-2-1 meetings with other delegates. The software to arrange these meetings will stipulate what information is shared and allow you to opt out of this if you would rather not share any information beyond your name and company.
