What treatment of personal data do we have and for what purpose?

We process your personal data when you attend events that we arrange with partners or when you ask to be registered as a recipient for our News Letter or other messages.

We may also receive your personal data through your personal contact with us or your own employer. For example, personal data we collect may include name, phone number, e-mail, title, university/ institute or if you have responded to a customer survey.

As an employee of IAAM, we handle personal data in order to fulfill the employment contract.

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • requests of any kind
  • to communicate and keep you updated
  • to send you information

We save personal data for as long as required to meet the above purpose or as long as we are required by law to do so. Then your personal data is deleted.

Who has access to personal data and will it be forwarded?

Your data may be managed by third parties in order for us to be able to provide you with the necessary information. For example, third parties may be companies involved in event planning. EU suppliers who receive your personal data must have signed a personal data agreement that ensures that they comply with legal requirements and instructions provided by IAAM on how to handle personal data.

We neither forward, sell or exchange your personal data for marketing purposes to third parties.

IAAM may also disclose your personal information to third parties, for example to police or other authorities, in connection with criminal investigations or if IAAM is otherwise required to disclose information in accordance with statutory requirements or authority decisions.

Your personal data is stored in our business system and is regularly updated and cleared from data that is no longer needed to fulfill our commitments to you as a customer. Data we collect about you is stored in Sweden.

IAAM has taken technical and organizational measures to protect personal data from loss, manipulation and unauthorized access. In order to achieve full privacy protection, we continuously work on issues such as awareness, education, and organizational updates.
