PRIVACY POLICY

In compliance with applicable privacy legislation, Advertising Week Canada is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. As a customer registered to attend Advertising Week, your privacy is protected, as follows.

Collection of Personal Information

We limit our collection of personal information to information which you supply and which is necessary to provide the event offerings in a suitable environment. The information we will request you provide to us will include:

  • Telephone numbers (home, work and/or cellular)
  • Email addresses
  • Mailing address
  • Credit card information
  • Dietary or Mobility Restrictions

This information is required to process your registration, to allow us to administer our events and for emergency and event update contact purposes.

Any information you supply on your event registration form is deemed to have been provided with your consent. We require this information to create a registration file and to administer the event in which you are registered.

Use of Your Personal Information

Those who will have access to the information you submit on your forms will be the Advertising Week Staff, our accounting personnel, our website administrator/s and our event registration company EventsOnline.ca (click here to access their security policy: www.eventsonline.ca/security.htm).

Third parties acting on behalf of the ICA will also be advised if necessary to provide you with event registrations. For example, if you pay your fees with a credit card, the third party credit card processor will be provided with the information required to process the payment. If you have dietary restrictions, the third party catering the meals will be advised.

We may use your information to contact you about your experiences with Advertising Week events.

If you do not want to be contacted, you have the opportunity to opt-out of these communications during the registration process or by contacting the Privacy Officer.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We undertake not to provide your personal information to third parties, without your written consent, except as may be required or permitted by the applicable privacy legislation or as described in this policy.

Storage and Protection

Your information will be stored in secure hard copy files [in the Advertising Week office] and in password protected computer files, which are also protected by a firewall.

The information we will store will include any personal information you have provided to us, as well as confirmation of payment, and other details and will constitute your entire personal record. Your entire personal record will be retained for 7 years, in secure hard copy and in password protected computer files, which are also protected by a firewall.
