We work with a number of trusted service providers who carry out services on our behalf. Our Event Platform is provided and supported by Maxim Communications Limited who are based in the UK Maxim Communications Limited may use your personal data for their own purposes (such as improving their event platform services) as a separate data controller.

We may also need to transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA where we work with a supplier or third party who processes some of its personal data outside of the EEA.
These countries (including the USA) may not have the same data protection laws as the UK and the EEA and so your personal data may not be subject to the same protections.
