Privacy policy
The organiser, Channels Exhibitions, may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will handle your information in accordance with the version that was in place when you submitted it. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently if you need to.
Information collection and use
Our primary goals in collecting information are to: provide and improve our service, website and the related features and content, and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the website.
When you send your details to us via our website, or by email, or order certain services from us, we may use this information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please follow the instructions provided in any of the communications, or email us with an explicit request to have your information removed from our mailing list. We will comply with your request as soon as is reasonably possible.
When you visit our website or contact us by email, our servers automatically record information about your activity (known as ‘log data’). Log data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, your browser type, what software you were using, the webpage you were visiting immediately prior to visiting our website, pages of our website that you visited, the time spent on those pages, information you searched for on our website, access times and dates, and other statistics. This sort of data is recorded primarily in order to diagnose any problems which may arise in the function of the website.
Cookies
Many websites use 'cookies' to store information. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Our website contains no such code for the placement of cookies.
Phishing
Identity theft and the practice currently known as 'phishing' are of great concern to us. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request any personal information about you in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication. Contact us immediately if you receive a communication which claims to be from us and is asking for any such information.
Information sharing and disclosure
Other than as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, we do not rent or share information about you with third parties.
Service providers
We may employ third party companies and individuals to provide the following types of services: web hosting, email hosting, credit card transactions, accounting, customer relationship management, webcasting, web site maintenance, database management, web analytics and web and live chat hosting. These service providers may have access to some information about you only to perform these tasks if required to on our behalf, and are not authorised to use it for any other purpose.
Compliance with laws and law enforcement
We cooperate with government, law enforcement agencies and other interested parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to these bodies if we, at our discretion, believe it necessary or appropriate to do so, in order to protect the property and rights of the organiser, Channels Exhibitions, or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.
Business transfers
We may sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of our assets, including information held about you, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of our organisation, or in the event of bankruptcy.
Changing or deleting your information
Anyone contacted by us can correct or delete information about them at any time. Please contact us in order to do so.
Security
We take safeguarding information about you very seriously. We employ generally-accepted, industry-standard administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect information held from unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic data storage is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect this information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
International transfer
Your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your country, where the privacy laws may be different. You should be aware that we hold information in the United Arab Emirates. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of this sort of information represents your agreement to this transfer.
Links to other sites
Our website contains links to other web sites. If you choose to visit an advertiser by clicking on a banner ad or other type of advertisement, or click on any other third party link, you may be directed to that third party's website. The fact that we link to a website or present a banner ad or other type of advertisement is not an endorsement, authorisation or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other sites will probably have different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
Our policy toward children
Our website is not intended for children, although we recognise that some may find it informative. We do not want to collect personally identifiable information from, for, or about children. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child or ward has provided us with unauthorised personal information, he or she should contact us.
Testimonials
We may post testimonials in our website which may contain personal information, like the writer's name and company for example. We may not always obtain the writer's consent before posting the testimonial in our website. Contact us in order to edit or remove any testimonial included in our website, or to ask us in advance to never include a testimonial from you.
