We process data that we have collected about you in accordance with this policy in different ways. How we process your data will largely depend on whether you are using our services as a visitor, or as a Member Account Holder or an Admin Account Holder.
There is a lot of information in this section, so to make things easier for you, we have broken down the categories of users of our services. Each section sets out how and why information is collected about our different user groups.
5.1 Visitors
Where you have provided it to us and consented to our processing of your personal data, we will collect your contact information, which may include your name, email address, telephone number or any other information that you provide us in an enquiry, online form or otherwise. We use this information to get in contact with you to respond to queries and provide you with information. If you have agreed to it, we may also send you direct marketing and promotion information. If we have sent you marketing and promotional information directly, you will be able to opt-out at any time.
We may also collect your Computer and Mobile Device Information and Information from Cookies and similar technologies. We collect this information to:

We use your Account Information, Profile Information and Additional Information to respond to your inquiries, provide surveys to members of your community, send information as part of our services, identify information that you have provided in response to a survey and, provided you do not opt-out, to send you marketing and promotional information. We need to use your account data to run your account, provide you with our services, bill you for our services, provide you with customer support, and contact you about our services and your account. Please note that you can opt out of direct marketing and promotional communications at any time by unsubscribing through the links in any communications you receive or otherwise changing your account settings.

In the collection and use of the above personal data we will also employ profiling and utilise machine learning in order to provide more accurate and detailed statistics regarding the nature of the data being collected. This information will usually be provided to Admin Account Holders. Although we do not control how Admin Account Holders use your personal data, it is likely that such personal data will be used to make decisions about your preferences as a consumer and to tailor marketing and promotional material to be more relevant towards you.
Admin Account Holders are also provided with a degree of control over how we process data collected on their behalf. Where you have attended an event, responded to a query or provided information in a form or survey as a Member Account Holder, we aggregate response data and activity in order to identify trends, recommend services and devise new products and services.
You can object to any such use of your data set out above. However we may not have the ability to fully and properly provide our services to you if you do not want us to collect or use the above personal data.
