We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors and customers while they interact with the content, products and services on this site (the “Site” or the “Website”).
We act in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), the EU Privacy Directive, and the respective domestic legislation.
The current Privacy Policy incorporates changes and updates in order to be compliant with the GDPR. It intends to explain you, our visitors and customers, in a transparent manner, how and why we collect, use and disclose your personal and business data that you voluntarily provide through our site, how you can control our disclosure of your data and its removal from our network.
This Privacy Policy (together with our Terms of Service and any other document referred to on it) applies to the Site only and sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or you provide to us will be processed by us. It does not apply to other websites to which we link.
You agree that your use of the Site signifies your assent to and our practices regarding your personal data and how we treat it. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.
If you have more questions on how we collect and use your personal information, please contact our Data Protection Officer at +359889665668.
We collect two types of information from you: i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or emails); and ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms (including the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet and related technical information).
In order to fully access this Site, you must first complete the registration process, during which we will collect personal information about you. The information will include your name, address, email address and date of birth. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information to us on a voluntary basis.
By registering with us, you consent to the use and method of disclosure as described in this Privacy Policy.
Our site uses “cookies” and other tracking technologies. Cookies enable us to serve secure pages to our users without asking them to sign in repeatedly. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. If a user’s system is idle for a defined time, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorised access to the user’s information while they are away from their computer.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Site.
You may choose to invite friends to join IWConnected.com by sending invitation emails via our invite feature. IWconnected.com stores the email addresses you provide so that the respondents may be added to your social network, and also to send reminders of the invitations. IWConnected.com does not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations and invitation reminders. Recipients of invitations may contact IWConnected.com to request removal of their information from our database.
The processing of your personal data described in this policy is based on your consent, on the contractual necessity (which means that the processing of your personal data is required for IWConnected.com to provide services to you) or when required under the law.
IWConnected.com only uses your personal information for the original purposes it was given. Your personal information will not be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without your approval at the time of collection.
IWConnected.com will not disclose, use, give or sell any personal information to third parties for any purposes unless required to do so by law.
You will receive notice when your personally identifiable information might be provided to any third party for any reason other than as set forth in this Privacy Policy, and you will have an opportunity to request that we not share such information.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and for business and administrative purposes. We may also use or share with third parties for any purpose aggregated data that contains no personally identifiable information.
We may transfer personally identifiable information as an asset in connection with a proposed or actual merger or sale (including any transfers made as part of an insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding) involving all or part of our business or as part of a corporate reorganisation, stock sale or other change in control.
IWConnected.com may disclose contact information in special cases where we have a duty to disclose or we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our terms and conditions of use or may be causing injury or interference with our rights, property, our customers or anyone who could be harmed by such activities.
The collection and processing of your personal data described in this policy is based on legitimate interests for the following:

IWConnected.com maintains an automated record of your personal data.
Additionally, IWConnected.com maintains personal data in various digital documents, namely event attendee lists, meeting minutes and records.
We take appropriate security measures to protect your information against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information and data stored on our system – such as encryption, access controls, physical security and other measures. While no computer system is completely secure, we believe the measures we have implemented reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate to the type of data involved. Although we do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Site; and transmission is at your own risk. In addition, when we work with other companies to process credit card transactions, those companies must also use encryption and other security measures.
We provide mechanisms for updating and correcting your personal information for many of our services. You may modify or remove any of your personal information at any time by logging into your account and accessing features such as “settings”.

If you have any questions or wishes in connection with your personal data and your rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at …………………..
In particular, IWConnected.com is committed to working with you to obtain a fair resolution of any complaint or concerns about privacy.
