Privacy Notice

This privacy notice (the “Privacy Notice”) describes how we collect and process your personal information through the website, platforms, applications and online services of the National Events Center (the “NEC”) (together the “Services”). Terms and conditions set out below form an integral part of the terms and conditions for browsing our website and using the Services.

Security of Information:

We have developed clear procedures and measures to keep your personal information secure and to ensure protecting the same from loss, unauthorized use, misuse or unauthorized modification and disclosure. These procedures and measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks of processing your personal information. Examples of these procedures and measures include: (i) technical techniques to protect from fraud and unauthorized access to our systems; and (ii) regular and periodic updates of the procedures and controls of protection meeting or exceeding the prevailing standards. We also ensure that our employees are qualified and trained to safeguard your personal information.

Collection and Use of Personal Information:

We collect and store personal information you provide, which includes your name, email address, payment method(s) and details, telephone number, and other identifiers you might use. We collect this information in a number of ways, including when you enter it while using our Services, interact with our customer service, or participate in surveys or marketing promotions. 

We use your personal information to provide, analyze, administer, enhance and personalize our Services and marketing efforts, to process your registration, your orders and your payments, and to communicate with you on these and other topics.

Your Information and Rights: 

You are fully responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information you provide when browsing our website and using the Services.  

You can request access to your personal information, or correct or update out-of-date or inaccurate personal information we hold about you. You may also request that we delete personal information that we hold about you. You have the ability to access and update a broad range of information about you, including your contact information, your payment information, and various related information. 

We may reject requests that are unreasonable or not required by law, including those that would be extremely impractical, could require disproportionate technical effort, or could expose us to operational risks such as free trial fraud. We may retain information as required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, including to honor your choices, for our billing or records purposes and to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. We take reasonable measures to destroy or de-identify personal information in a secure manner when it is no longer required.

Disclosure of Information:

We may disclose your information if required by law or pursuant to a court judgment. In addition, we may disclose your information for certain purposes and to third parties, as described below: 

• Service Providers: We may use other entities (“Service Providers“) to perform services on our behalf or to assist us with the provision of Services to you. For example, we may engage Service Providers to provide marketing, advertising, communications, security, infrastructure and IT services, to customize, personalize and optimize our Service, to provide bank account or balance information, to process credit card transactions or other payment methods, to provide customer service, to analyze and enhance data, and to process and administer user surveys. In the course of providing such services, these Service Providers may have access to your personal or other information. We do not authorize them to use or disclose your personal information except in connection with providing their services (which includes maintaining and improving their services). 
• Partners: We may have a relationship with one or more partners (including other governmental entities), in which case we may share certain information with them in order to coordinate with them on providing the Services to you. 

Whenever in the course of sharing information we transfer personal information to other countries, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by the applicable laws on data protection.
