Privacy policy

At REMIX Summits, we’re committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

This Policy explains when and why we collect personal information about people who visit our website, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

We may change this Policy from time to time so please check this page occasionally to ensure that you’re happy with any changes. By using our website, you’re agreeing to be bound by this Policy.

Any questions regarding this Policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to hello@remixsummits.com or by writing to REMIX Summits Limited, Yate House, Barley New Road, Roughlee, Lancashire BB12 9LH (United Kingdom).

How do we collect your information?

We may obtain information about you when you register to receive one of our newsletters, when you use our website, if you purchase a ticket or digital product or if you contact us regarding our events and services.

We may also process your personal information for our legitimate business interests, for example direct marketing by email. You have the right to object to this processing if you wish and if you wish to do so please email hello@remixsummits.com

For example, we have an interest in making sure our marketing is relevant for you, so based on our research into your professional role and location we may process your information to send you occasional and tailored marketing emails providing information on events that we believe you would be interested in.

When we process your personal information for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative), and your rights under data protection laws. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

What type of information do we collect?

The personal information we collect might include your name, address, email address, IP address, and information regarding what pages are accessed and when. If you purchase a ticket or digital product from us, your card information is not held by us; it is collected by third-party payment processors, who specialise in the highly secure online capture and processing of card transactions, as explained below.

How is your information used?

We may use your information to:

  • process ticket or digital purchases that you have submitted;
  • carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into by you and us;
  • seek your views or comments on the events and services we provide;
  • notify you of changes to our services;
  • send you communications which you have requested and/or that may be of interest to you.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

Who has access to your information?

We will never sell or rent your information to third parties.

We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes unless you explicitly consent during the checkout process when purchasing from us.

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf:

We may pass your information to our third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process orders and send mailings). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the minimum amount of personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.

When you purchase from us, this is processed by a third-party payment processor that specialises in the secure online capture and processing of card transactions. If you have any questions regarding our secure transactions, please contact us at hello@remixsummits.com

We may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of a sale of some or all of our business and assets to any third party or as part of any business restructuring or reorganisation, or if we’re under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any legal obligation or to enforce or apply our terms of use. However, we will take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Your choices

You have a choice about whether you wish to receive information from us. If you do not want to receive marketing communications from us, you can unsubscribe or update your preferences by clicking the link on any marketing email we send. Alternatively, please email us at hello@remixsummits.com.

We will not contact you for marketing purposes if you have indicated that you do not wish to be contacted. You can change your marketing preferences at any time by contacting us by email at hello@remixsummits.com

How you can access and update your information

You have the right to ask for a copy of the information REMIX Summits hold about you. Please contact us at hello@remixsummits.com if you wish to do so.

Protecting your information

When you give us personal information, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated securely.

Non-sensitive details (e.g. email addresses) are transmitted normally over the internet, and this can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

By submitting your personal data, you’re agreeing to this transfer, storing or processing. If we transfer your information outside of the UK in this way, we will take steps to ensure that appropriate security measures are taken with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Policy.

If you use our services while you are outside the UK, your information may be transferred outside the UK in order to provide you with those services.
