We may not collect every category of information for every person, event, website visit, or service. The information collected depends on how you interact with SyllabusX and the applicable event or service.
SyllabusX may use personal and professional information for event administration, customer service, marketing, safety, legal, operational, and business purposes. These purposes may include processing registrations and payments, issuing badges and credentials, verifying eligibility, providing event access, operating in-person, virtual, and hybrid events, delivering services, responding to inquiries, sending confirmations and event updates, facilitating networking, supporting sponsor and exhibitor participation, providing lead-retrieval services, managing hosted-buyer or meeting programs, conducting surveys, providing documentation, managing speaker participation, attracting more participants, coordinating venue or platform logistics, marketing the event's previous editions, and enforcing event rules.
We may also use information to personalize communications, improve our websites and events, analyze business performance, market SyllabusX events and services, measure campaign performance, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, protect safety and security, prevent fraud, investigate misconduct, resolve disputes, and enforce our Terms & Conditions.
SyllabusX events often include sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, vendors, partners, venues, service providers, hosted-buyer programs, networking opportunities, appointment-setting programs, event apps, digital platforms, and other Participants. Depending on the event and your interactions, SyllabusX will make certain professional, registration, contact, and event-interaction information available to these parties to operate the event, facilitate networking, provide lead-retrieval services, schedule meetings, deliver sponsored content, fulfill sponsor or exhibitor benefits, support business development, provide customer service, and follow up on expressed interests.
If you allow your badge, QR code, ticket, business card, contact details, or event credential to be scanned, exchanged, tapped, photographed, submitted, or otherwise shared with a sponsor, exhibitor, speaker, partner, attendee, or other event participant, you consent to SyllabusX sharing relevant contact, registration, professional, and event-interaction information with that participant. That participant may use your information to contact you or follow up with you subject to its own privacy policy and applicable law.
Certain sponsored sessions, exhibitor areas, virtual booths, downloads, matchmaking programs, hosted-buyer meetings, networking tools, or third-party managed areas may require your information to be provided to the applicable sponsor, exhibitor, or third-party provider as a condition of access or participation. Participants may use this information to contact you or follow up with you according to their privacy and marketing policies.
SyllabusX is not responsible for the privacy practices, marketing practices, products, services, claims, or communications of sponsors, exhibitors, partners, attendees, speakers, venues, or other third parties.
By providing your email address, telephone number, mobile number, fax number, mailing address, business card, badge information, or other contact information to SyllabusX and submitting any registration, contact, inquiry, newsletter, download, sponsorship, exhibitor, attendee, lead-generation, survey, speaker, or other form, you consent to be contacted by SyllabusX and its authorized representatives by phone call, SMS/text message, email, mail, or fax regarding registrations, events, services, promotions, updates, surveys, sponsorship opportunities, exhibitor opportunities, speaker opportunities, business opportunities, and related communications, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. Consent is not a condition of purchase or event attendance where such condition is prohibited by law. You may opt out of SMS/text messages by replying STOP to a message. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link or instructions included in the email. You may opt out of fax communications by following the opt-out instructions in the fax or by contacting info@syllabusx.com. You may also contact info@syllabusx.com for assistance with communication preferences.
SyllabusX will process opt-out requests as soon as reasonably practicable. It may take time for changes to become effective across systems, vendors, and campaigns. If SyllabusX has already disclosed your information to a sponsor, exhibitor, partner, attendee, speaker, or other third party as described in this Privacy Policy, you may need to contact that third party directly regarding its separate communications.
Opting out of marketing communications does not opt you out of transactional or service-related communications, including registration confirmations, invoices, receipts, event logistics, event safety notices, customer-service responses, legal notices, or other non-marketing, mandatory or necessary communications.
