PRIVACY POLICY
Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) e.V., 21 June 2011
Introduction
The NGMN e.V. and its group companies take the privacy of your information very seriously.
This website privacy policy (“Policy”) explains how and for what purposes we use the information collected about you through the www.ngmn.org (referred to below as the “Site”). Please read this Policy carefully.
By using the Site and any services we offer via the Site, you are agreeing to be bound by this Policy in respect of the information collected about you via this Site. You acknowledge and agree (on your own behalf and duly authorised on behalf of any third party whose details you supply) that the processing (including disclosure) of personal information is necessary or desirable for the provision of relevant services and the operation of NGMN’s performance of its rights and obligations owed to you or a third party.
We may update this Policy from time to time to take account of changing requirements and we request that you refer back to this Policy frequently to review any revisions.
If at any time we decide to use personal information in a manner significantly different to that stated in this Policy, or otherwise disclosed to you at the time it was collected, we will notify you by email, and you will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in this new manner.
If you have any queries about the Policy, please get in touch with us using the contact details set out at Contact Us below and we will do our best to answer your questions.
Collection & Use of Information
We do not collect personal information about you on this Site apart from information for which you volunteer, for example by completing the online registration form or using the “Contact Us” function.
The information collected may include the following:
- your name, company name, title in your Company;
- your email address, postal address, telephone and fax numbers.
We will use your contact details in order to respond to any queries submitted by you.
We may also use your information to provide you with information, including marketing information in relation to upcoming NGMN meetings, conferences, seminars, products or services which we believe could be of interest to you or your organisation.
Sharing of information
We may provide your personal information to a third party as part of a sale or transfer of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, but we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
Other than as set out above, we will not disclose any of your personal information without your permission unless we are required by law to do so (for example, if required to do so by a court order or for the prevention of fraud or other crime).
Transferring your information outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”)
In using your information as set out in this Policy, it may be transferred to countries outside the EEA. By way of example, this may happen if one of our service providers is located in a country outside the EEA. We also may share your information with our associated companies, members, business partners or other carefully selected third parties which are located in countries worldwide. These countries may not have similar data protection laws to the EEA. If we transfer your information outside of the EEA in this way, we will take steps aiming to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
