Do we send targeted e-mails?

Do we maintain Customer Relationship Management (CRM) databases? Like most companies, NexEvents uses customer relationship management (CRM) database technology to manage and track our marketing efforts. Our CRM databases include personal data belonging to business contacts at our clients and other companies with whom we already have a business relationship or want to develop one. The personal data used for these purposes includes relevant business information such as: contact data, publicly available information (e.g. board membership, published articles, press releases, your public posts on social media sites if relevant for business purpose), your responses to targeted electronic direct marketing (including web activity following links from our e-mails), website activity of registered users of our website and other business information included by NexEvents professionals based on their personal interactions with you.

We combine this data to better assess your experience with NexEvents and to perform the other activities described throughout this privacy policy.
What are your rights regarding marketing communications? You can elect to not receive marketing communications from us by, or by utilising opt-out mechanisms in e-mails we send to you. You can also object to receiving marketing communications or request that your personal data be removed from our CRM databases by contacting us at info@nex.events.

We may also share your personal data with third parties (see section 7), some of which are based outside the EEA. Whenever we transfer your personal data outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented, for example we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission.
