PRIVACY POLICY – WebinarNow

Introduction

We at Combined Media Company Limited trading as WebinarNow respect your privacy and this document outlines our approach to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and all other relevant data protection legislation.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to outline how we deal with your data you provide to us while visiting our website (https://webinarnow.ie) and when registering to attend one of our webinars.

Why we collect your personal information

To respond to a query
When you contact WEBINARNOW, we need to know your name, email address and query so that we can respond in an appropriate manner. This information allows us to understand your query and respond in a meaningful manner. All queries are dealt with by someone from WEBINARNOW and no third-party is involved. We will never pass on your details or use it for any other purpose than to respond to your query.

To Register for a Webinar
When you register for a webinar we need to collect personal information (typically your Name and Email) so that we can verify your details to send you a link to join the webinar. We might send you reminder information about an upcoming webinar and follow-up information about the webinar.

To Provide Services during a webinar
During the webinar we may collect information that you have submitted in the form of a question, poll results and surveys. This information is only kept for the purposes of facilitating the webinar and is only kept in anonymous format once the webinar has finished for statistical purposes.

Website Information Collected

This document refers to the WebinarNow website and any associated web pages used to manage the registration and delivery of WebinarNow services. Any external links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such, and we are not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of these other sites

Types of Information Collected

On the WebinarNow website we retain two types of information from visitors:

  • Personal Data: This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, postal address, email address and telephone number. Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us, for example, through our ‘Contact Us’ email facility or by completing one of our online forms.
  • Non-Personal Data: Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our site. This Non-Personal Data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Site.

Purposes for which we hold your information

  • Non-Personal Data: We use the Non-Personal Data gathered from visitors to our website in an aggregate form to get a better understanding of where our visitors come from and to help us better design and organise our website.
  • Cookies: a Cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for Cookies.

Each website can send its own Cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the Cookies it has already sent to you, not the Cookies sent to you by other sites.

We use Cookies to give you the best possible online experience.

Third party cookies are set on behalf of combinedmedia.ie. These partner cookies don’t collect personal data and would not be able to identify you as an individual customer.

On the whole, cookies are used:

  1. For technical purposes essential to the effective operation of websites.
  2. To enable combinedmedia.ie to collect anonymous information about the browsing activities of our clients for internal analysis.
  3. To drive combinedmedia.ie marketing activities. For example, third party cookies may be used to show you relevant advertisements on other websites you visit.

Managing Your Personal Data

We will process any Personal Data you provide to us for the following purposes:

  • To provide you with information about WEBINARNOW
  • To contact you if required in connection with your enquiry or to respond to any communications you might send to us

Any communications submitted online or by email will be subject to the same terms and conditions as those completed by hand in paper form. If any online application forms are included in our website, you will be notified of any additional specific data protection provisions at the time you complete the relevant application form.

WebinarNow and Data Processor

WEBINARNOW will engage certain service providers to perform certain services on its behalf which may involve the Processing of Personal Data, for example third parties that assist with distribution of WEBINARNOW newsletters and emails. To the extent that such Processing is undertaken based on the instructions of WEBINARNOW and gives rise to a Data Controller and Data Processor relationship, WEBINARNOW will ensure that such relationship is governed by a contract which includes the data protection provisions prescribed by Data Protection Law.

Security of information

We have technical and organisational measures in place to protect Personal Data from unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, change, disclosure, acquisition or access. Personal Data are held securely using a range of security measures including restricted access through approvals and passwords.

Non-disclosure to third parties

If personally identifying data about you may be shared with a partner company, we will tell you before we collect or transfer the data so that you may opt out of this transfer if you wish.

We use your information only as set out in this Policy and will not sell, rent, or pass your information on to others for marketing purposes without your consent.

WEBINARNOW may however provide aggregate statistics about its supporters, traffic patterns and related site information to reputable third-party vendors and relevant affiliate partners, but these statistics will include no personally identifying information. We may also release account information where we believe in good faith that this release is reasonably necessary to comply with the law.

 The accuracy of your information

While we endeavour to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date, we shall assume that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the information you provide us with is accurate. If you inform us, or we become aware, of any inaccuracies in the information it shall be promptly rectified by us. We do not retain any information about you which is out of date or which is no longer required.

Data Storage and Retention

We will retain your personal information as needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. We will retain and use your personal information no longer than is necessary to comply with our business and legal obligations. Where we enter into a legal contract with you, we will hold your personal information for a period of seven years from the date of completion of this contract by reference to the statute of limitation for a legal claim under contract.

Changes to the privacy policy

Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.

If at any time we decide to use Personal Data in a manner significantly different from that stated in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise disclosed to you at the time it was collected, we will notify you by email, and you will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in the new manner.
