Photographs will be taken at conferences and uploaded on the website and newsletters. If a delegate does not agree, they can opt out by letting the Communications Officer know in writing or verbally at the conference.

 

  1. Conference organisers

The Local Organising Committee for conferences should clearly informpotential registrants about all the ways they are intending to use personal data and ask them to give separate consent for each instance.

Under the GDPR, any EU citizen can request a copy of all the personal data you hold on them, for free. Create a process to help you provide people with their data in a machine-readable format, like an Excel file, within 30 days of their request.

We will use your data to:

  1. register your attendance at the conference and workshops
  2. provide you with attendance certificates
  3. inform the relevant SIG Chairs which group you will be attending
  4. display your abstract in the conference booklet and poster presentation sessions
  5. share your information with EADPH board members and sponsors if relevant

 

Attendees need to give you permission to store and use their personal information.  Using pre-ticked boxes and automatic opt-ins within registration formswill no longer be an option. Instead, consent will need to be unambiguous, using unticked opt-in boxes, separate from other terms and conditions. Attendees will also expect more clarification on how their information will be used. For example: When you areasking attendees if you can include their details in a delegate list, then you will need to clearly state what personal information will be included in that list, the names of the third parties you will be sharing that data with and how these organisations will be using their information.
