Introduction
Reconnaissance International Ltd (designated conference managers) is incorporated in England, providing business intelligence, events and publications for the security industry. We are committed to protecting any data that we collect concerning you. By using our services you agree to the use of the data that we collect in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Your Data
We may use personal data acquired from and provided by yourself to fulfil any of your requests and to send you appropriate and useful communications. As a business-to-business provider of Newsletters, Events and Publications, Reconnaissance utilises the ‘legitimate interests’ processing reason to lawfully process your data. Broadly speaking Legitimate Interests means that we can process your personal information if:
We have a genuine and legitimate reason and we are not harming any of your rights and interests
This means that when you provide your personal details to us, we use your information for our legitimate business interests to carry out our work providing business intelligence in the fields of security printing and anti-counterfeiting. Before doing this, though, we will also carefully consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights.
Websites and Communications
IP Address Lookup
Our company uses third parties to provide information about visitors to our websites. When you visit our websites we will record your IP address. This address will be matched against public and proprietary IP address databases to provide us with information about your visit. This information may identify the organisation to whom the IP address is registered but not individuals. In some limited cases, ie single person companies, it may be possible to identify personal data from publicly available ICANN data.
Website Cookies and Link Tracking
Cookies allow us to provide important site functionality so you don’t have to re-enter lots of information. They also allow us to remember what links and pages have been clicked or viewed during a session. If you have provided us with personal data (for example, completing a contact form), we may associate this personal data with other information. This will allow us to identify and record what is most relevant to you.
Types of Communications
By submitting your email address on this website you are consenting to receive the particular piece of information you requested, as well as allowing us to send you appropriate and useful communications. This includes, but is not limited to; invitations to our industry leading events, our latest assets (newsletters, reports and case studies) and offers on services.
Information Collected
We may collect any or all of the information that you give us depending on the type of transaction you enter into, including your name, address, telephone number and email address, together with data about your use of the website. Other information that may be needed from time to time to process a request may also be collected as indicated on the website.
