Privacy Policy
Department.Events is a service provided and run by Live Group. This Privacy Notice is intended to describe the practices which Live Group follows in relation to the Delegate Management System (“DMS”) with respect to the privacy of all individuals whose personal data is processed and stored in the DMS.
The DMS is managed, maintained and licensed by Live Group Ltd. Unit 9 Princess Mews, Horace Road, Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey, KT1 2SZ, United Kingdom. The data which you provide through the DMS is shared with the licensee of the DMS – the Data Controller. If you are in doubt of who the data controller for your event is please contact Live Group via e-mail [email protected] and we will be able to confirm these details. The DMS is hosted on servers that are located in the United Kingdom.
The purpose of the DMS is to facilitate the organization and management of events, including arranging accommodation and meals for attendees. Personal Data is collected and processed in the DMS in order to facilitate the organization of the meetings, conferences or events. This may include, e.g. obtaining the dietary and other additional requirements of event attendees. Such Personal Data will be shared with relevant third parties who have involvement in the event (e.g. the owners of the venue or hotel where the event is being held).
Your personal data is shared with the Data Controller of a given event in order for them to update their records, or check on the status of your registration. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the terms and conditions of this system and legitimate interests pursued by the data controller for a given event or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
The provision of your personal data to Live Group is optional, however, please be aware that if you do not provide us with all or part of your personal data, we may not be able to carry out the purposes for processing which are set out above.
The DMS processes the following categories of personal data (note the list below is non-exhaustive as the data request fields may be edited by Live Group or the event’s Data Controller, depending on the nature of the event):
Unless explicitly requested by the event’s Data Controller for the purposes of pre-registration, your personal data will always be voluntarily provided by you by completing the event registration form.
If you wish to register for the event without completing the registration form on the platform, you should contact the Data Controller for your event or, if unsure who to contact, contact Live Group at [email protected]
You can delete your data at any time by emailing [email protected] with the subject header ‘REMOVE MY DATA’ from the email address associated with your account. Please note that if you delete your data before the event, we may not be able to permit you entry to the event.

The following sensitive personal data is collected and processed in the DMS:

Live Group is committed to making sure that your personal data is kept secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, Live Group has put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard and secure your personal data. All Live Group personnel and any third parties which Live Group engages to process your personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your data and comply with all the relevant data protection and privacy laws.
We will share your personal data with third parties when required to do so in order to deliver the required event experience (eg to ensure you get your dietary requirements) or when we are required by law to do so.
We may use your personal data to contact you regarding other event experiences or marketing activities that may be of interest to you.

If you would like to obtain confirmation as to whether or not your personal data is processed in the DMS or if you would like to access your personal data in the DMS, please contact us via [email protected].
Organisers are individuals who create events on the DMS platform, for which others can register. Organisers act at the Data Controller for the personal data associated with an event. Organisers agree to process such personal data in accordance with their obligations under all applicable data protection laws.
Where Live Group processes the personal data of consumers on behalf of an organiser as part of the services, Live Group is a Data Processor in performing such processing and the organiser is the Data Controller.
Live Group provides you with the ability to make sure your personal data is accurate and up to date. You can request rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and profiling of your personal data by sending an e-mail to [email protected].
If you are concerned about an alleged breach of privacy law or any other regulation by Live Group, you can contact Live Group’s Privacy Officer, Unit 9 Princess Mews, Horace Road, KT1 2SZ, United Kingdom or via email at [email protected]. A Live Group representative will be made available to investigate your complaint and give you information about how it will be handled and resolved.
If you are not satisfied with the way in which Live Group has resolved your complaint, you have the right to complain to the data protection authority in your country.
