The Franchise Fair is operated by Daltons Business, in conjunction with the show's main sponsors. By entering the show you give permission to these parties to retain and use your information for marketing purposes. In addition when you visit a stand at the Franchise Fair your details are passed on to the booth exhibitor. That exhibitor may then decide to contact you via the contact details you have provided, including email. Each exhibitor is bound by the data protection act and by this show's own code of conduct, and you will be able to unsubscribe from each exhibitor individually at any time.
We will only disclose personal information about you internally and to third parties (outside of show exhibitors) for processing purposes associated with the supply of goods and services, for web site administration, or elsewhere when you have consented to such disclosures, or where such disclosures are required or permitted by law. These third parties we contractually bound only to use personal information to perform the services that we hire them to provide. Where you have agreed that we may do so, we may lease or rent your personal information to selected third parties for their postal or telephone marketing use.
Third party data processors, who may be located outside of the EEA, are required to take adequate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information. We also take measures to ensure that personal information transferred by us outside of the EEA is adequately protected.
Security of Personal Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical measures to safeguard personal information against loss, theft and unauthorised uses, access or modifications. Certain areas of our web sites may be password protected. If you are a user of our web sites and have a password, you can help to preserve your privacy by ensuring that you do not share your password with anyone else.
We take steps to regularly validate the personal information we hold to ensure that the information is accurate and, where necessary, up to date. Information that is no longer required for any valid business purpose, and that we are not required to keep pursuant to any applicable law, will be routinely destroyed by secure means.
