OUR LAWFUL BASIS FOR COLLECTING YOUR DATA
It’s in Internect’s legitimate business interest to collect personal information so that we may contact you solely in your business capacity. We process customer and client data and use direct marketing as part of this legitimate interest. It’s necessary for us to use a variety of direct marketing channels and messages to ensure our contacts are kept informed and make sure the messages are targeted and relevant. This includes processing registrations or enquiries, keeping you informed about new events and updates on current events and offers as well as informing you about our newly available free industry specific content in the field of your interest. Whenever we process data for these purposes we will take measures to ensure that your personal data is protected. The provision of this information is on a voluntary basis. However, if you do not provide the information requested, we may be unable to process your registration, enquiry or inform you about the issue of your interest.
We will keep your data safely and securely for as long as necessary or according to your instructions, and we review the data we hold at least once every two years.
  
TYPES OF THE DATA WE COLLECT
We only collect the kind of standard, non-sensitive information you would expect a B2B supplier to request and which is necessary for the purposes mentioned above.
For example we would collect:
Your name
Your job title/job role
Your email address and contact number(s)
The name of the company or organization you work for
(And we will collect and store data on the transactions and purchases you make with us but never store any sensitive information such as credit card details and bank account numbers)

Access to all of our customers’ information is restricted to Internect employees and access to personally identifiable information is limited to employees who need the information to perform a specific job. If you register for one of our events and wish to provide us directly with your credit card details in order to make payment and not through our secure and encrypted online system, for security purposes we would only request credit card details over the phone and never via a form or by email.
