Privacy Policy
We take your privacy seriously and want you to understand our practices with respect to the handling of your personal data. This privacy statement explains how we do this.

When we collect your personal data
If you decide to contact us or make use of personalized services (e.g., by subscribing to a newsletter, filling out a form or by setting your personal preferences for webcast services), then you will be asked to submit the limited personal data which is necessary for us to provide that service or handle your query. This is completely voluntary. If you ask us to send you newsletters, webcasts, ticketing information, or other communications, we rely on your active consent in order to do so. You may opt out of receiving these communications at any time. If any form which collects your personal data allows you to voluntarily provide additional information, we seek this information because we think it will help us to give you a better quality of service. You do not have to provide such information if you do not wish to do so.

Third Party Applications
We will respect and protect your privacy as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will share your personal data with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy - and do not and will not sell your personal data. Categories of non-National Western parties with which we share your personal data include vendors such as host and cloud service providers, marketing agencies, and sub-contractors involved in the fulfilment of our contractual obligations towards our clients.

Facebook conversion pixels
We use the “Custom Audience pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) on our website. With its help, we can keep track of what users do after they see or click on a Facebook advertisement. This enables us to monitor the effectiveness of Facebook ads for purposes of statistics and market research. Data collected in this way is anonymous to us, which means we cannot see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is saved and processed by Facebook. Facebook can connect this data with your Facebook account and use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Policy which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook. A cookie can also be saved on your device for these purposes.

Who do we share your personal data with and where does it go?
Any transfer of personal data to this site will be secured by encryption. We may store or transfer your personal data to our corporate database for internal use in the future. We do this under our group-wide Data Protection Policy (see NWSS GDPR Statement link), which guarantees an adequate level of data protection wherever your data is physically kept. We also use the services of third-party service providers to host our webcasts and offer technical support. Any third party provider we appoint must act in accordance with our written instructions when processing your personal data and must protect your personal data in line with the contractually required security measures. Where we store or transfer your personal data to a third-party provider based outside the European Economic Area, we take steps to ensure your personal data is adequately protected.

How long do we keep your information?
We will only hold your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, before making it non-identifiable or deleting it. Some personal information is governed by other laws and regulations that have mandated periods of retention, and may not be deleted until the required retention period has expired. (Financial Institution mandates, State and Federal Government Agency Regulations.) If you send us any ‘contact us’ messages, we will delete or de-identify these messages once we have finally satisfied your inquiry, or met compliance requirements related to the data. If you choose to unsubscribe from a service, we will keep a ‘suppression list’ containing your details so we know you have unsubscribed.

Your rights, complaints and how to contact us
You have the right to access your personal data and ask for it to be rectified or deleted at any later time. If you have questions or concerns relating to the handling of your personal data, or other privacy related query, please get in touch with us using the contact us button on the website you are visiting. Please also use these links for non-privacy related queries. If you are a person governed by GDPR in the EU, you also have the right to raise a privacy concern with the Data Protection Authority established in the relevant EU country. However, please consider using our EU-approved complaint resolution mechanism by using the contact mechanism listed above, and defining your membership in the EU.

Third-party websites we link to
Our website may contain links to third-party sites. This privacy statement does not apply to those third-party sites, as each of them are responsible for their own data protection. We recommend that you read the privacy statements of any other sites that you visit as we cannot accept responsibility for the privacy practices of these sites, which may be different to ours.

Changes to the privacy statement
We may update this privacy statement from time to time and recommend that you revisit it on occasion to see the latest version.
