Our Legal Basis for Processing your Personal Data

If you are a registered user of the Website, our legal basis for processing your personal data is that it is necessary for the performance of the Website Terms of Use between you and us. In all other circumstances, including where you contact us or where your personal data is provided to us by a third party, thereby allowing us to populate the Contacts Register, our legal basis for processing your personal data is that it is necessary for our legitimate interest in conducting our business balanced against individuals’ rights and interests. For further information, please contact our DPR, using the contact details at the top of this policy.

Survey Contributions

You may be requested to complete a survey or feedback form commissioned by one of our subscribers and sent by ingage on their behalf or, occasionally, issued by ingage (a “Survey”).

You are under no obligation to respond to a Survey and your response is voluntary. If you decide to respond to the Survey, you acknowledge that:

(a) your responses to the Survey, including your name and contact details (the “Survey Responses”) will be shared with the relevant commissioning subscriber, who will handle your information in accordance with their own privacy policies, over which we have no control. We will ask them to only use the Survey Responses for their own internal business purposes;

(b) we may aggregate Survey Responses and use them for our own business purposes, in order to provide insight to ingage subscribers on trends, including to publish our own reports and analysis of the feedback provided as part of our service offering. We will only publish such information in a form that does not identify individual participants.

Storage and Security

The data that we collect from you is stored within the EEA, and will be accessed by our staff in the United Kingdom and in Poland. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that where your personal data is transferred outside of the EEA or the United Kingdom it is treated in accordance with this privacy policy. If we do transfer your personal data outside of the EEA or the United Kingdom, we will put in place appropriate safeguards required by law. For example, we may use model contracts in a form approved by regulators.

Where we have provided you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of the Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. For security reasons please avoid re-using the same password for different websites or services and (where you have chosen your ingage password) avoid easily guessed words. All ingage log-ins will either use your corporate credentials for access, or will be protected by mandatory multi-factor authentication (MFA).

The transmission of information through the internet is not completely secure. We will do our best to protect your personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Website through the internet; any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we receive your personal data, we will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Please remain guarded against phishing emails. Phishing is a method used by fraudsters to deceive someone into giving sensitive information, such as bank account details, credit card numbers or username and passwords. Most of the time, phishing will take the form of emails, which purport to be from well-known companies and ask recipients to send their private information. This information is then used for identity theft and fraud.

We will never contact you to ask you for your account password. If you have any suspicions or doubts whether any email or communication that purports to come from us is genuine or not, please check with us first.

Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Your Rights

You have certain rights in relation to your personal data under data protection laws. You have the right to request: (i) access to your personal data; (ii) the transfer of your personal data to another controller (portability); (iii) the rectification (update or correction) of your personal data if it is incomplete or inaccurate; (iv) erasure of your personal data (the right to be forgotten); (v) restriction of processing of your personal data; (vi) your personal data is not processed (object to the processing of your personal data). These rights are not absolute. Where we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority about the processing of your personal data.

Where ingage is the controller of your personal data, you have the right to ask us at any time not to use your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You can exercise this right at any time by contacting us or by choosing the “unsubscribe” option in marketing emails you receive from us. See Processing for our Subscribers and Clients below for information about exercising your rights.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any other queries about this policy, please contact the DPR (see contact details above). There may be a reasonable charge to exercise some of your rights where permissible under applicable law. We will respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if we need additional information to verify your identity, your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In these situations, we will notify you and keep you updated.

Processing for our Subscribers and Clients

Our Website enables our clients to access certain functions, such as to schedule and manage meetings, create itineraries, record notes, provide and collect feedback.

Where ingage acts as host and manages data on behalf of our clients, it is our clients which are solely responsible for any such data, including personal data. We are not a controller of such personal data. You should contact these clients directly with any questions you may have about the use of your personal data, or if you wish to exercise your rights in relation to such personal data.

ingage provides clients with technological solutions that allow them to manage their interactions with the Capital Markets and investor relations community, including their email subscriber base, and send communications to these subscribers. When providing this service, it is our clients which are responsible for maintaining such subscriber lists and complying with applicable laws. You should contact these clients directly with any questions that you may have in relation to communications that you receive. If you no longer wish to receive a particular organisation’s direct marketing communications sent using the ingage platform, you may use the unsubscribe option provided in the email (ingage will then automatically remove you from that distribution list and inform the organisation accordingly).

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may make changes to this policy and any such changes shall be posted on this page and will apply to your continued use of the Website. Prior versions of this policy can be obtained from the DPR on request.

Links

The Website may from time to time, contain links to websites of our partner networks and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites are not required to comply with this policy and will likely have their own policies. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the handling of your personal data by these other websites. Please check the privacy policies of these websites to ensure you are satisfied before submitting any personal data to these websites.
