​

Use of cookies

Allied Broking uses tracking technology such as cookies to gather connection data and to understand how users use Allied Broking Sites. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your computer’s browser so that this computer will be recognised by the site on the user’s return. Cookies allow the web server to recognise your computer on connection to an Allied Broking Site, which in turn allows the server to make downloading of pages faster than on first viewing. Also cookies may be used to establish statistics about the use of Allied Broking Sites by gathering and analysing various data (e.g. most visited pages, time spent by users on visited pages). Cookies will not be used to monitor website visits of a particular individual. Cookies placed on your computer will not be kept longer than necessary for the purposes indicated. It is possible to set the browser on your computer to notify you when a cookie is being recorded on your computer’s hard drive. It is generally also possible to set the browser to prevent cookies from being recorded on your computer. For the optimal use of Allied Broking Sites, however, we recommend that you do not block the recording of cookies on your computer.

We will not use your personal interaction data for any other purpose except for improving our services.

​

Data disclosure to third parties

We will not disclose your personal data to third parties, except for the following: (1) disclosure of data if legally required or ordered by an authority or a court; (2) disclosure of data to external service providers who process Allied Broking data on its behalf or otherwise; (3) disclosure of data to contracted event co-sponsors in cases where you registered for such an event; (4) disclosure of limited data (only name, title, company name) to other event participants in form of participant lists; (5) disclosure of data to third parties in corporate reorganisations, disposals or acquisitions; (6) disclosure of data to third parties if necessary to protect the interests of Allied Broking or other users.
We will not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise make your contact or other data commercially available to any third party, except with your prior permission.

Data storage and transfer outside your country

Your data is processed according to applicable data protection and privacy laws. Any data you send over the Internet to the Allied Broking Site alliedbroking.com is processed and stored by the service provider. Some data will also be stored on servers of Allied Broking.

​

Accordingly, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in locations outside the country in which you are viewing the Allied Broking Site (the “User Country”). Any data or material sent or uploaded by you will be accessible in countries outside the User Country. 

​

Storage of e-mails

All incoming and outgoing e-mail messages are automatically stored in the Allied Broking Electronic Message Repository. The e-mails are protected by legal, technical and organisational measures and are processed according to applicable data protection and privacy laws. They may only be accessed in justified cases in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. court order, suspicion of criminal conduct, breach of regulatory obligations, material breach of employment contract). Access is only granted to employees in defined functions (e.g. litigation, legal, compliance, risk). The process steps as well as the search criteria used are pre-defined. All e-mails are disposed of after a pre-determined period of time and according to legal requirements. If you do not wish the retention of private e-mails by Allied Broking, we strongly advise you not to send private, non-business related e-mails to Allied Broking e-mail accounts.

​

Data security and confidentiality

Allied Broking applies and ensures that service providers apply technical and organisational security measures that are appropriate to protect personal data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

The accessing and entering of information on Allied Broking Sites by users takes place over the Internet which is an open and unprotected network. This data transfer takes place in non-encrypted form. When disclosing any personal information via an open network, you should be mindful that it is potentially accessible to others and consequently can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, even when individual data packets are encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. A third party may therefore be able to trace a transaction. Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including to countries that do not afford the same level of data protection as the User Country. Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorised parties. Allied Broking does not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses as regards the security of your data during its transfer via the Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.

​

For how long is your personal data retained?

Allied Broking retains the personal data collected over Allied Broking Sites only for as long as required or permitted by law and regulations.

​

Protection of children

Allied Broking does not wish to collect personal data over Allied Broking Sites from individuals under the age of 18 without the consent of the individual's parent or legal guardian. Individuals under the age of 18 must obtain the consent of their parent or legal guardian before providing any personal data to Allied Broking on an Allied Broking Site.

From certain Allied Broking Sites you are able to obtain access to websites operated by third parties (“External Websites”). External Websites are not monitored or maintained by Allied Broking and we do not endorse or accept any responsibility for their content or operation. You access External Websites at your own risk.
