If you have given consent and later change your mind you can notify us, although you should be aware that a withdrawal of consent may impact your ability to make full use of the services we offer.In the course of running our business we may also share your personal data with companies within our group, specifically The European Pension Fund Investment Forum Limited.Your personal contact details may also be shared on a strictly need-to-know basis with third parties who provide services to SPS and PIA including but not limited to venue providers, IT service providers and legal and accountancy professionals.  We take steps to ensure that third parties keep your personal data secure and only use it for the purposes that we have authorised.

Transfers outside the EEA

We may transfer your data to be processed on a server based in the United States.  Where this happens we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is held in compliance with the same privacy standards that apply in the EU.  Where you have agreed that your details can be included on an attendee list this list may also be shared with relevant event sponsors who are based in the United States.

The legal basis of our data processing

One or more of the following legal bases may apply to our processing of your data, depending on the circumstances of processing: contract, legal obligation and legitimate interest.  Most of our processing of personal data is based on the legitimate interests of SPS and PIA in delivering the services that they offer.

How long we keep your personal data
