The Website may be operated in countries other than your own location, and your Personal Data may be accessed and/or processed from and/or transferred to countries other than your own location. We may do this where data is accessed/processed:

  • By Eventus sales, business partners, operational or customer support teams in our various locations, as detailed in the Website; and

By consenting to the collection and use of your Personal Data, you agree to your Personal Data being transferred and stored in this manner and for the specified purposes. These are the safeguards we deploy for performing such transfers across geographic boundaries (such as the European Union data boundary):

  • Consent. In the absence of an adequacy decision or SCCs, and in the absence of any other right to transfer your data, your consent shall serve as the basis for such transfer. By accessing and using the Website, you agree and understand that your Personal Data may be transferred from the EEA or other countries in which you may be using or accessing the Website to other jurisdictions outside your own location (including outside the EEA). The transfer will be to such third parties as described under “Sharing of Information with Third Parties.” 

COOKIES 

A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows Eventus or a third party (such as Eventus third-party service providers) to recognize you. Cookies might be used for the following purposes:

(1) to enable certain functions; 

(2) to provide analytics; 

(3) to store your preferences; and 

(4) to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising. Cookies can either be session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires, or you delete your cookies. 

Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years. Cookies placed by the website you’re visiting are sometimes called “first party cookies,” while cookies placed by other companies are sometimes called “third party cookies.” When you access and/or use the Website, Eventus or a third party may place cookies in your browser. Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used. We use additional technologies to help track user activities and preferences. For example, we may set cookies that monitor links to our website that we send to you (if you have consented to receiving emails from us). 

These cookies are used to track visitors to our Website sourced from these emails. To avoid these types of cookies, please follow the explanation below on how to change your browser cookies settings. In addition, we may use a tracking technology (pixels) in emails to understand how often our emails are opened and clicked on by our clients. If you do not wish this tracking to be effected, please change your email software or service (such as outlook, Gmail, etc.) settings to not automatically download images (to the extent it is not already your default). 

In some instances, depending on your email or browser settings, cookies in an email may be automatically accepted (for example, when you have added an email address to your address book or safe senders list). Please refer to your email browser or device instructions for more information on this. Third party companies like analytics companies and ad networks generally use cookies to collect user information on an anonymous basis. 

They may use that information to build a profile of your activities on the Website and other websites that you have visited. If you do not like the idea of cookies or certain types of cookies, you can change your browser’s settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies. 

To learn more about how to do this, visit the help pages of your browser. Some useful information can also be found here: https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or do not accept them, you might not be able to use all of the features we offer, you may not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly. 

INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING 

We engage in interest-based advertising in order to deliver advertisements and personalized content that we believe will be of interest to you. Advertisements, emails, and other messages may be delivered to you by Eventus, or its service providers based on your online or mobile behavior, your search activity, your geographic location or other information that is collected by us or obtained by such third parties using cookies (such as you clicking on our paid ads in Google or other social networks). 

In addition, we and our business partners use third parties to establish deterministic or probabilistic connections among devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and computers) to deliver more relevant advertising to you and for advertising analytics and reporting purposes. 

This means that information about your use of websites or applications on your current device may be combined with information from your other devices. We also may share this information and other inferences with third parties to allow them to target advertising, personalize content, or analyze behavior. This allows, for example, advertisements you see on your tablet to be based on activities you engaged in on your smartphone. 

These business partners may share and combine information from cookies with identifiers (such as device IDs assigned by Google or Apple) and IP addresses to make connections among related devices. This also allows for a more personalized experience across the Website. If you have any questions about our Cookie policy, you may contact us via the contact information listed below.  

SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES 

The Website includes social media plugins, including links to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the plugin to function properly. Social media features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it. 

LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES 

This Website contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Eventus. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Website.  

DATA SECURITY 

Eventus implements data security systems and procedures to secure the information stored on Eventus computer servers. Such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, but they do not provide absolute security. Therefore, Eventus cannot guarantee that the Website is immune to unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks.  

DATA RETENTION PRACTICES 

Subject to your right to deletion as required by law, we will retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary to engage with you in relation to the interaction for which we collected your information or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

Before Eventus is able to accommodate any respond to any request, we may ask to verify your identity by providing us with certain information or identification. In some instances, we may decline to honor your request. For example, we may decline to honor your request if we cannot verify your identity or confirm that the Personal Information that we maintain relates to you, or if we cannot verify that you have the authority to make a request on behalf of another individual. 

In other instances, we may decline to honor your request where an exception applies, such as where the disclosure of Personal Information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of another consumer or where the Personal Information that we maintain about you is not subject to the CCPA’s access or deletion rights, such as information relating to our employees and contractors that is used for our employment and vendor management purposes. Nonetheless, you have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
