8. EEA, Switzerland and UK Only
For any persons attending or organising an event in the EU, it is mandatory that you read the Privacy Policy specified in the following sections. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use any services provided by Health/Wellness Expo.

8.1 The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
A data privacy law known as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (henceforth known as “GDPR”) was approved by the EU Parliament on 14th April 2016 and became effective 25th May 2018. The GDPR requires companies/organisations such as Health/Wellness Expo to provide our users with more information about the processing of their Personal Data.

8.2 Legal Grounds for Processing your Personal Data
The GDPR requires us to tell you about the legal grounds we’re relying on to process any Personal Data about you. The legal grounds for us processing your Personal Data include:
i. By signing up for our services, you have provided your consent;
ii. Your personal data is necessary for our contractual relationship;
iii. The use of your personal data (as provided by you) is required for processing and is necessary for us to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations; and/or
iv. The personal information provided is required in our legitimate interest to fulfil our service as an event organiser, content provider and/or event ticketing platform

8.3 Health/Wellness Expo as a Data Processor
EU data protection law makes a distinction between organisations that process Personal Data for their own purposes (henceforth known as “data controller”) and organisations that process Personal Data on behalf of other organisations (henceforth known as “data processor”). The relevant data controller is the one with primary responsibility for your Personal Data therefore if you have a question or complaint about how your Personal Data is handled; these should always be directed to the data controller for immediate action.
Health/Wellness Expo may process attendees’ Personal Data on behalf of an Organiser as part of their services, in which case Health/Wellness Expo is a Data Processor and the Organiser is the Data Controller. This will include situations where Health/Wellness Expo obtains Personal Data as a result of the provision of its core event management services such as where Health/Wellness Expo verifies the identity of attendees’ based on the attendee list that have been uploaded by the organiser to Health/Wellness Expo, enables the broadcast of emails/messages to attendees at the request of the Organisers or provides event-related reports and tools to enable Organisers to gain insights about their attendees and the effectiveness of using the Health/Wellness Expo sites and Apps.
Health/Wellness Expo simply provides an event management tool for Organisers to improve engagement and Health/Wellness Expo does not decide what mandatory Personal Data to request on registration forms nor is it responsible for the accuracy of any Personal Data provided.
We offer the functionality for an event organiser to email/message attendees directly through our App platform. This facility was built-in to send event-specific emails/messages to attendees of that event only. If an organiser wants to use this function, the organiser needs to secure his/her own opt-in consents for the sending of such emails/messages. Health/Wellness Expo does not manage this on behalf of the organiser.

8.4 Health/Wellness Expo as a Data Controller
Health/Wellness Expo may act as a Data Controller in respect to processing of Personal Data, for instance where attendees provide Personal Data about themselves as part of their account creation/sign in process or where Personal Data is processed by Health/Wellness Expo to conduct research and analytics beyond those relating to organisers’ events enabling Health/Wellness Expo to improve its products and features (see section 8).
In some cases, it may be that Health/Wellness Expo is the Organiser of the event as well, in which case Health/Wellness Expo becomes the Data Controller as well.

8.5 Data Deletion
The GDPR data protection law provides you with rights in respect to your Personal Data that we maintain, including the right to request a copy of your Personal Data, request that we correct, restrict or delete your Personal Data and for you to unsubscribe from any/all marketing communications.
As part of any event, if the Eventsador App is used, users of the Eventsador App can choose to exercise these rights by editing their profiles on the Eventsador app as well as deleting any emails/messages or photos posted by them. If you need any assistance, please contact us. Also, organisers may get a request from an attendee asking for their Personal Data to be removed from the Eventsador App, in which case please forward the request to us via email. In the interest of ensuring accuracy, our support team may reach out to the User directly to confirm the request. Any requests to implement data protection rights will be handled by us on a case-by-case basis. There may be conditions where we are not legally obliged to comply with your request due to the laws in your jurisdiction or due to exemptions provided for in data protection legislation. For more details on the Privacy Policy related to the Eventsador App, please check out the Eventsador Privacy Policy.

8.6 Transfer of Personal Data
There may be instances where we may require transferring your Personal Data outside from the country where it was originally provided. This may be to Health/Wellness Expo or a third party such as Google Analytics, etc. with whom we work and who may be located in jurisdictions outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK which either have no data protection laws or may have laws that are less stringent compared with those in Europe.
When such Personal Data is transferred outside of the EEA, Switzerland or the UK, we endeavour to take the required precautions to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your Personal Data. Such data transfers will be done in line with the standard data protection clauses adopted by the Commission (EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Processors)).
Despite our best efforts, if the relevant EU authorities or courts determine that the transfer method used by Health/Wellness Expo is no longer appropriate, Health/Wellness Expo and its customers will swiftly take all steps reasonably necessary to demonstrate adequate protection of the Personal Data by using alternative approved methods.

8.7 Data Incident Notifications
In the unlikely event of data accessed in an unauthorised manner, where Health/Wellness Expo is the Data Controller, we will notify the affected user(s) directly. In case of a data breach where we are solely the Data Processor, we will notify the event organiser of the unauthorised data access so that they can get in contact with the relevant individual(s) to inform them of that individual’s Personal Data being compromised.

In case of any further questions or feedback, please Contact Eventsador.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

9. QR Code Scanning at Events

Permitting other attendees, exhibitors or sponsors to scan your QR code via the Eventsador app would share your personal contact information with them. As such you also consent to being contacted by them and understand that you can choose to opt out of future mailings by informing the relevant party.

Your QR code may need to be scanned at the entry/exit points of the event to provide the organiser with cumulative data related to attendees for improvement of the visitor experience. For details on how your personal data may be used, please refer to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use policy.

Any information or activity that you may view at the event are for informational purposes only and any changes to your diet and/or lifestyle that you decide to implement will be at your own risk or after obtaining a medical professionals’ advice.
Similarly, any activity that you agree to participate in at any of our events will be at your own personal risk and you hereby agree to not hold the Organisers, Exhibitors, Sponsors or Venue liable for any injury, whether minor or serious.
