How we collect and use (process) your personal information 

​

​Contacts and newsletter memberships

​

When you contact adds2marketing and/or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect information about you including (but not limited to) your name, your employer’s name, your work address (including your country location), your professional telephone number, and your email address. We may also collect your personal email address, a personal mailing address, and a mobile phone number. We ask members to voluntarily provide additional information in their membership profile, such as information about their educational background, number of years in privacy, and the like. Members may edit their profile at any time to change, add, or remove personal information.

​

We process your personal information for membership administration, to deliver member benefits to you, and to inform you of ADDS2MARKETING-related events, content, and other benefits or opportunities associated with your ADDS2MARKETING contact. Adds2marketing may also use this information to help adds2marketing understand our members’ needs and interests to better tailor our products and services to meet your needs.

​

Contacts often participate in local chapter meetings. These meetings are organized by our tech experts and take place at various locations that donate their space for the meetings. Adds2marketing collects registration information from ADDS2MARKETING contacts and their guests, which it shares with the chapter chairs and location hosts for purposes of verifying registration and to ensure only registered guests are allowed attendance.

​

 

Live events and web conferences

​

Adds2marketing hosts many events throughout the year. These include in-person conferences, for example, as well as live web conferences (collectively “events”). If you register for one of our events and you are a member, we will access the information in your member account to provide you with information and services associated with the event. If you are not a member and you register for one of our events, we will collect your name and contact information, which we will store in our database(s) and use to provide you with information and services associated with the event.

​

If you are a presenter at one of our events, we will collect information about you including your name, employer and contact information, and photograph, and we may also collect information provided by event attendees who evaluated your performance as a presenter. We may also make and store a recording of your voice and likeness in certain instances.

​

We keep a record of your participation in ADDS2MARKETING events as an attendee or presenter. This information may be used to provide you with membership and certification services (such as, for example, keeping track of your Continuing Privacy Education (CPE) credits, or to tell you about other events and publications). It may also be used to help adds2marketing understand our members’ needs and interests to better tailor our products and services to meet your needs.

​

In association with attending one or more of our conferences, you will have the option to download the “ADDS2MARKETING Events App” to help you navigate the conference and plan your schedule. Adds2marketing Events App may require the device identifier associated with your device but does not collect or use any other personal data.

​

Some of our events are sponsored. Adds2marketing provides an attendee list to sponsors, co-sponsors and exhibitors of our events. Adds2marketing may also allow sponsors, co-sponsors and/or exhibitors to send you material by mail once per sponsored event, in which case adds2marketing engages a third-party mailing house and does not share your mailing address directly with the sponsor/exhibitor. If you do not wish to have your information included in an attendee list or to receive information from sponsors, co-sponsors and/or exhibitors, you can express your preferences when you register for events or you may contact adds2marketing directly at info@adds2marketing.com.

​

​

Publications

​

Adds2marketing offers a great deal of content for our members. In addition to producing original content, adds2marketing also subscribes to news feeds and blogs produced by others, which we often link to from our website. This means you may find yourself on adds2marketing website or reading an email from adds2marketing publications team and we will offer you a link to another organization’s website where you will find content on privacy or data protection that we find relevant and useful to you. At these times, you will be leaving adds2marketing website. Adds2marketing is not responsible or liable for content provided by these third party websites or personal information they may happen to gather from you.

​

You may wish to subscribe to adds2marketing’s publications without becoming a member of adds2marketing. For example, many people sign up to receive adds2marketing’s newsletter even though they are not ADDS2MARKETING members. To receive ADDS2MARKETING newsletters by email, you will need to create a “profile” with us which involves providing adds2marketing with at least your first name and last name, an email address, and the country in which you live. Adds2marketing does not share this information with any third party other than to store the information in our cloud-hosted databases.

​

You may manage your ADDS2MARKETING subscriptions by subscribing or unsubscribing at any time. Please note that if you have set your browser to block cookies, this may have an impact on your ability to unsubscribe. If you have any difficulties managing your email or other communication preferences with adds2marketing, please contact us at info@adds2marketing.com.

​

Adds2marketing uses Google Analytics to track how often people gain access to or read our content. We use this information in the aggregate to understand what content our members find useful or interesting, so we can produce the most valuable content to meet your needs.

​

We also conduct surveys that we use to produce original research on the privacy profession. We do not track individuals but look at information in the aggregate only. Participation in surveys is voluntary.

​

​

Training

​

If you participate in ADDS2MARKETING training, you may sign up directly through adds2marketing in which case we collect your name and contact information directly from you. You may, alternatively, sign up for training – or be signed up for training – by or through a third party such as one of our training partners, or your own employer. We may also use independent contractors to conduct the training and third parties to provide the training venue. Your personal information will be stored in our database (hosted by cloud service provider) and may also be shared with our training partners, trainers, and/or the venue hosting the event (to verify your indentity when you arrive). Adds2marketing’s training partners, trainers, and training venue hosts have agreed not to share your information with others and not to use your personal information other than to provide you with ADDS2MARKETING products and services.

​

​

Certification

​

When you sign up to take one of adds2marketing’s certification exams, we will collect your name and contact information. We will also collect and store information you provide to us about your need for special accommodations. This information may be shared with our computer-based exam hosting service. The computer-based exam hosting service may also share with us information you provide to them to verify your identity in taking the exam. Adds2marketing will collect your exam results and, in conjunction with maintaining your certification(s), your record of participation in continuing privacy education. Only authorized employees within adds2marketing have access to your certification exam scores and personal information pertaining to any special accommodations you may request.

​

​

Your correspondence with adds2marketing

​

If you correspond with us by email, the postal service, or other form of communication, we may retain such correspondence and the information contained in it and use it to respond to your inquiry; to notify you of ADDS2MARKETING conferences, publications, or other services; or to keep a record of your complaint, accommodation request, and the like. As always, if you wish to have adds2marketing “erase” your personal information or otherwise refrain from communicating with you, please contact us at info@adds2marketing.com.

​

Note: if you ask adds2marketing not to contact you by email at a certain email address, adds2marketing will retain a copy of that email address on its “master do not send” list in order to comply with your no-contact request.

Personal information we get from third parties
