2. WHEN WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

WE MAY DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES AS FOLLOWS:

• To Radar companies in order to process the data for the above mentioned purposes;
• When we have your consent or authorization to do so;
• When you engage with us during a no cost conference, directly with an exhibitor at an in-person or virtual conference e.g., when you allow an exhibitor to scan your badge (at an in-person conference) or attend a virtual sponsored session (during a virtual conference);
• To third parties who work on our behalf to service or maintain business contact databases and other IT systems, e.g., suppliers of the IT systems which we use to process personal information, or who provide other technical services, such as printing;
• To third parties providing services to us or on our behalf who have a need to access your information, e.g., our professional advisors (e.g. auditors and lawyers) or venues for our conferences;
• To comply with applicable laws, protect rights, safety and property, and respond to lawful requests from public authorities (e.g., disclosing data in appropriate situations for national security or law enforcement purposes);
• Subject to applicable law, in the event that Radar is merged, sold, or in the event of a transfer of some or all of our assets (including in bankruptcy), or in the event of another corporate change, in connection with such a transaction, or for pre-transaction review in relation to such transactions.

Your personal information may be shared if we anonymize and/or aggregate it, as in these circumstances the information will cease to be personal information.

Utilization Information

We may share information with our organizational clients about how their employees use Radar´s services and resources such as advisory services, websites and insight hub (e.g., how employees used certain features of the sites, utilization trends, which features were most popular with the client’s employees).

 

3. STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

We always strive for your data to be processed within the EU/EEA; however, this might only sometimes be possible. For particular IT support, the data may be transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA. This applies, for example, if we share your data with a personal data processor that, either itself or through a subcontractor, is established or stores information in a country outside the EU/EEA. As the controller of personal data, we are responsible for taking all reasonable legal, technical, and organizational measures to ensure that personal data protection is the same as within the EU/EEA. When personal data is processed outside the EU/EEA, the level of security is guaranteed, for example, by a decision from the European Commission that the country in question ensures an adequate level of protection or through the use of so-called appropriate protection measures. Appropriate safeguards can be standard contractual clauses (so-called Standard Contractual Clauses, SCC) or binding corporate rules (Binding Corporate Rules, BCR).

If you would like information about the protective measures, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. Standardized model data transfer clauses, adopted by the European Commission, are also available on the European Commission’s website.

 

4. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Radar may transfer personal information between our group companies R Advisory AB, R Ecosystem Specialists AB, Radar Norway AS and Sourcing Professional Nordics AB. That may lead to transfer of personal data between Norway and Sweden if necessary. Radar will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is protected, and any such transfers comply with applicable law.

 

5. RETENTION PERIODS

We will retain your personal information for as long as required to perform the purposes for which the data was collected, depending on the legal basis for which that data was obtained and/or whether additional legal/regulatory obligations require us to retain it.

In general terms, this will mean that your personal information will be kept for the duration of our relationship with you and:

• the period required by tax and company laws and regulations; and
• as long as it is necessary for you to be able to bring a claim against us and for us to be able to defend ourselves against any legal claims. This will generally be the length of the relationship plus the length of any applicable statutory limitation period under local laws.

 

6. CHOICES ABOUT YOUR INFORMATION

We believe it is important to give you choices about the use of your information. We will use your information as described in this Policy (or any other conference- or service-specific Privacy Policy). If we want to use your information for a purpose not described in this Policy, we will first get your consent to do so.

RADAR CONFERENCES

When you attend one of our physical conferences, you may be issued a conference badge with a QR code, which has a unique identifier that can be scanned. We may use the QR information to administer and improve the conference experience and solicit feedback and/or interest in Radar products and services. If you participate in one of our no-cost physical conferences Radar may disclose contact data (name, role and mail address) with the main partners of the conference. We will not sell or share any information with other third parties for marketing and promotional purposes. You may request to be anonymized and get a non QR-enabled badge by asking conferences staff at the registration desk.

We allow Exhibitors to scan attendee badges at our in-person conferences. If you choose to allow an Exhibitor to scan your badge at the Exhibitor’s booth or when entering an Exhibitor session or function, you are giving us your consent to provide your contact details to that Exhibitor. Our Exhibitors’ use of any information you choose to share with them in this way is governed by each Exhibitor’s Privacy Policy. Badge scanning is optional and you may refuse to have your badge scanned by the Exhibitor.

 

7. SECURITY

We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help prevent unauthorized access. Despite these measures, no data transmission over the Internet can be entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit via our websites or apps. Please note that you are responsible for maintaining the security of your credentials used to access any Radar service or account, and you must report suspected unauthorized activity to us.

We make reasonable efforts to restrict access to information to only those employees, contractors, and agents who need such access in order to operate, develop, improve, or deliver our programs, products, and services.
