The information we collect or receive
Online registration
Divergent Futures uses the Ticket Tailor Service for registration and payment. Ticket Tailor processes the customers’ and event attendees’ personal information solely on Divergent Future’s behalf (as “processor”) and does not have the right to use information. Please view here Ticket Tailor’s privacy policy https://www.tickettailor.com/privacy-policy/#information_we_may_collect
Divergent Futures can access customer information through our business Ticket Tailor account. We use the information to provided by the customer to confirm your eligibility to attend our workshop and webinars (e.g. Registered Health Professional status), and to provide you with the following: workshop details, pre-workshop materials, personalised workshop materials, post-workshop follow-up information. Participant information is saved securely within our Ticket Tailor Account, which is password-secured with second-factor authentication enabled.
Storage
After the event, hardcopies with personal information are destroyed. The customer’s information is saved within Ticket Tailor and its retention is used only for Divergent Futures administrative staff to generate attendees lists or certificates of attendance.
Payment
Customers can chose to use Stripe or PayPal for payment processing and personal information such as credit card details is dealt with according to their privacy policies. Ticket Service generates a tax receipt with the customer’s name and address but does not have access to credit card or banking details. Divergent Futures does not have access to credit card or banking details.
Registration via email
When customers register via email or outside the Ticket Tailor platform, their information is stored in OneDrive and dealt with in the same way. An invoice is generated through the accounting system Xero and this invoice is paid via bank transfer. The customer’s name and address are then stored in Xero and after payment Xero generates a receipt.
Personal information shared via email regarding workshops or webinars is only stored until the matter discussed is dealt with and then deleted. Divergent Futures uses an Outlook email account.
Storage
Your information is stored solely to enable us to keep our agreement, except when legally required, for example for tax purposes.

Customers information in Xero regarding payment processing is stored for 7 years according to tax regulations. Personal information of which the storage term has passed, or which is no longer needed, will be destroyed.
