PRIVACY POLICY AND TERMS OF USE 

We value the protection and confidentiality of your personal data.  Brain Innovation Days organisers will use your personal data only for the purpose for which you have given permission and will not sell, rent, loan, trade or lease any personal information collected online or offline.

The Brain Innovation Days organisers will not share your personal information with others, and all information is to be kept confidential unless explicit consent to share is given by the user.

However, to avoid people receiving multiple invitations for the same co-organised event, organisers reserve the right to share your first name, last name and employer with the partner organisation(s) to avoid duplication of the final invitation lists. We will not, however, share your phone number, email, address or any contact information.

Brain Innovation Days organisers use secure data networks that are protected by password protection systems. The security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary. Only authorised individuals have access to the information provided by our contacts. Our databases are located in the European Union.

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our website
  • Improve, personalize, and expand our website
  • Understand and analyze how you use our website
  • Develop new products, services, features, and functionality
  • Communicate with you to provide you with updates and other information relating to the website
  • Send you emails
  • Find and prevent fraud

EBC only collects the personal data needed to carry out a service requested by you (or by a third party).

Data about persons who are minors and sensitive personal data (e.g. health information or bank account numbers) are always treated as confidential and never made public. Your data are only used for the service you have requested (unless the conditions described in the paragraph above are met) and we never pass on contact details to third parties for commercial purposes.

If you submit an application form, register for an event or make a payment, we will keep your data for the time needed to provide the service you have requested.
EBC may also decide to collect some data in an aggregated form, over a longer period of time, in order to evaluate and make adjustments to its own activities (e.g. website visitors, newsletter opening track record).
