As a leading events company, IMP is committed to the Internet as a powerful means of communication, research and doing business. And IMP is committed to your privacy. To protect your privacy while allowing you to utilise all that we have to offer, we have developed and follow certain principles for audience and user privacy and data protection.
IMP collects personal information about our users during registration for our events, use of our site services, from order forms for our publications/newsletters, upon user entry into our content, and through our cookie technology as you use and navigate our sites.
If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still use most of our site(s). However, you will not be able to access areas that require registration.
We aggregate the data we collect to create a demographic picture of the audiences in order to improve site services. We also share the aggregated information, but not individual data, with our sponsors and advertisers to help them better understand our services and monitor their advertising reach on the sites.
Personal information, such as your name and address, is used to service your account and to inform you about updates to our products and services. We may also use this information to notify you of new products and services from IMP, its affiliates, and third parties that we believe may be of interest to you.
Since IMP respects your right to privacy, when you register for events, online services and email newsletters, you have the option to decline mailings about additional products and services from IMP or other parties to whom IMP may provide such information.
Cookies
Some of our web sites use cookies. Cookies are nothing more than simple text files. They are non executable programs and consequently it is impossible for a cookie to contain a virus or any other application. Cookies are also very small and you run no risk of filling your hard drive with too many cookies.
The IMP cookie that is places on your computer contains only your unique reference number that is allocated in the registration process. There is no information in the cookie that can identify you and the cookie is only valid when you access the relevant IMP site.
Security
Our sites use a secure server to protect your financial information. Secure server software is used to encrypt the financial information sent between your Internet browser and our Internet site. This ensures the security of your financial transaction details when using the site. We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information you give us and may on occasion request proof of identity before we disclose any professional information to you.
IMP carefully protects the security of your personal information, and honours your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We will disclose such information only to third parties we believe to be responsible. However, we are not responsible for any breach of security or for any actions of third parties who receive this information. IMP also links to many other sites, but we are not responsible for their privacy policies or practices.
If for any reason you believe IMP has not met its privacy commitments to you, we ask that you notify us by e-mail at khiggins@impevents.co.uk, and we will quickly address the problem.
At any time, you may correct your personal information and/or opt not to receive additional mailings by contacting IMP Customer Service by e-mail at khiggins@impevents.co.uk or by telephone at 44 (0)1932 566791. You can also write to us at:
