We will only process your Personal Data on our own behalf where we have a legal basis to do so. The following are the legal bases under which we process your information in the manners specified above:
JOINT CONTROLLERSHIP
Currently, Eventus does not jointly determine the purposes and means of processing the Website Personal Data with any third-party (a “joint controller”). If a joint controller situation is established in regard to your Personal Data, the essence of the legal arrangement between Eventus and such other controller shall be made available to you upon request.
SHARING OF INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES

Eventus is also entitled to transfer or share anonymous, statistic or aggregative information with companies or organizations connected to Eventus, and with suppliers, business partners, advertisers, and every third party, according to Eventus’ absolute discretion.
DATA TRANSFERS AND GLOBAL PROCESSING
The Website may be operated in countries other than your own location, and your Personal Data may be accessed and/or processed from and/or transferred to countries other than your own location. We may do this where data is accessed/processed:
By consenting to the collection and use of your Personal Data, you agree to your Personal Data being transferred and stored in this manner and for the specified purposes. These are the safeguards we deploy for performing such transfers across geographic boundaries (such as the European Union data boundary):
COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in your web browser that allows Eventus or a third party (such as Eventus third-party service providers) to recognize you. Cookies might be used for the following purposes:
(1) to enable certain functions;
(2) to provide analytics;
(3) to store your preferences; and
(4) to enable ad delivery and behavioral advertising. Cookies can either be session cookies or persistent cookies. A session cookie expires automatically when you close your browser. A persistent cookie will remain until it expires, or you delete your cookies.
Expiration dates are set in the cookies themselves; some may expire after a few minutes while others may expire after multiple years. Cookies placed by the website you’re visiting are sometimes called “first party cookies,” while cookies placed by other companies are sometimes called “third party cookies.” When you access and/or use the Website, Eventus or a third party may place cookies in your browser. Some of the cookies will only be used if you use certain features or select certain preferences, and some cookies will always be used. We use additional technologies to help track user activities and preferences. For example, we may set cookies that monitor links to our website that we send to you (if you have consented to receiving emails from us).
These cookies are used to track visitors to our Website sourced from these emails. To avoid these types of cookies, please follow the explanation below on how to change your browser cookies settings. In addition, we may use a tracking technology (pixels) in emails to understand how often our emails are opened and clicked on by our clients. If you do not wish this tracking to be effected, please change your email software or service (such as outlook, Gmail, etc.) settings to not automatically download images (to the extent it is not already your default).
In some instances, depending on your email or browser settings, cookies in an email may be automatically accepted (for example, when you have added an email address to your address book or safe senders list). Please refer to your email browser or device instructions for more information on this. Third party companies like analytics companies and ad networks generally use cookies to collect user information on an anonymous basis.
They may use that information to build a profile of your activities on the Website and other websites that you have visited. If you do not like the idea of cookies or certain types of cookies, you can change your browser’s settings to delete cookies that have already been set and to not accept new cookies.
To learn more about how to do this, visit the help pages of your browser. Some useful information can also be found here: https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
Please note, however, that if you delete cookies or do not accept them, you might not be able to use all of the features we offer, you may not be able to store your preferences, and some of our pages might not display properly.
INTEREST BASED ADVERTISING
We engage in interest-based advertising in order to deliver advertisements and personalized content that we believe will be of interest to you. Advertisements, emails, and other messages may be delivered to you by Eventus, or its service providers based on your online or mobile behavior, your search activity, your geographic location or other information that is collected by us or obtained by such third parties using cookies (such as you clicking on our paid ads in Google or other social networks).
In addition, we and our business partners use third parties to establish deterministic or probabilistic connections among devices (such as smartphones, tablets, and computers) to deliver more relevant advertising to you and for advertising analytics and reporting purposes.
This means that information about your use of websites or applications on your current device may be combined with information from your other devices. We also may share this information and other inferences with third parties to allow them to target advertising, personalize content, or analyze behavior. This allows, for example, advertisements you see on your tablet to be based on activities you engaged in on your smartphone.
These business partners may share and combine information from cookies with identifiers (such as device IDs assigned by Google or Apple) and IP addresses to make connections among related devices. This also allows for a more personalized experience across the Website. If you have any questions about our Cookie policy, you may contact us via the contact information listed below.
SOCIAL MEDIA FEATURES
The Website includes social media plugins, including links to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. These features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our Website, and may set a cookie to enable the plugin to function properly. Social media features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.
LINKS TO THIRD PARTY SITES
This Website contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by Eventus. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by this Website.
DATA SECURITY
Eventus implements data security systems and procedures to secure the information stored on Eventus computer servers. Such systems and procedures reduce the risk of security breaches, but they do not provide absolute security. Therefore, Eventus cannot guarantee that the Website is immune to unauthorized access to the information stored therein and to other information security risks.
DATA RETENTION PRACTICES
Subject to your right to deletion as required by law, we will retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary to engage with you in relation to the interaction for which we collected your information or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.
GDPR DISCLOSURE
You may have the rights prescribed below in relation to Personal Data processed by us if you are a data subject in the European Economic Area or your Personal Data is otherwise governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”):
You may exercise these rights to the extent these rights apply to you by contacting Eventus via the contact information listed below. We will undertake to respond to your request within the applicable time frame prescribed by applicable law, and in any event we will make efforts to respond within 30 days of receipt of your request.
Although Eventus will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests, in some circumstances we may deem your request unfounded or not eligible under applicable law. If that should happen, Eventus expressly reserves the right to refuse your request. Before Eventus is able to accommodate any request, provide you with any information or correct any inaccuracies we may verify your identity by requesting certain information or identification.
CCPA DISCLOSURE
This section is only applicable to California residents for purposes of compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Defined terms used in this section, including but not limited to “Business Purpose”, “Consumers,” “Personal Information” and “Sale” (or “Sell”) are used as such terms are defined by and interpreted pursuant to the CCPA. The categories of Personal Information we have collected about Consumers and which we have disclosed for a Business Purpose in the preceding 12 months may include (please refer to the table at the top of this Privacy Notice for more detail):
(1) Identifiers, such as name and Social Security number;
(2) Personal Information, as defined in the California safeguards law, such as contact information and financial information;
(3) Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, such as sex and marital status;
(4) Commercial information, such as transaction and account information;
(5) Internet or network activity information, such as browsing history and interactions with the Website;
(6) Geolocation data, such as device location;
(7) Audio, electronic, visual, thermal, olfactory, and similar information, such as video, photography and call and video recordings;

(10) Inferences drawn from any of the Personal Information listed above to create a profile about, for example, an individual’s preferences and characteristics. The sources we have collected this Personal Information from are: directly from California residents or their representatives. In the past 12 months, however, we have not “sold” Personal Information relating to California residents within the meaning of the CCPA.
For purposes of this Privacy Notice, “sold” means the disclosure of Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration. If you are a California resident, you may request that we disclose to you the following information covering the 12 months preceding your request:
(1) the categories of Personal Information that we collected about you and the categories of sources from which we collected such Information;
(2) the business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information about you;
(3) the categories of Personal Information about you that we disclosed to third parties for a business purpose and the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed such Personal Information (if applicable); and
(4) the specific pieces of Personal Information we collected about you. If you are a California resident, you may also request that we delete Personal Information that we collected from you. Before Eventus is able to accommodate any respond to any request, we may ask to verify your identity by providing us with certain information or identification. In some instances, we may decline to honor your request. For example, we may decline to honor your request if we cannot verify your identity or confirm that the Personal Information that we maintain relates to you, or if we cannot verify that you have the authority to make a request on behalf of another individual.
In other instances, we may decline to honor your request where an exception applies, such as where the disclosure of Personal Information would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of another consumer or where the Personal Information that we maintain about you is not subject to the CCPA’s access or deletion rights, such as information relating to our employees and contractors that is used for our employment and vendor management purposes. Nonetheless, you have the right to be free from unlawful discrimination for exercising your rights under the CCPA.
