If you attend the Congress, the HA may ask you for personal data, including your name, title, organisation, contact details, information relating to payment of fees, and other information requested in the registration form on the Congress website.
In addition, if you speak at the Congress, the HA may ask you for information about your qualifications, experience and biography, or may collect such information from online or public sources.
When you provide your personal data, please make sure that the data is accurate and complete. If you do not provide any information identified by the HA as mandatory, the HA’s processing of your registration will be affected and the HA may not be able to register you to attend or speak at the Congress.
The HA may use or process your personal data for the following purposes:
to invite or register you to attend or speak at the Congress;
to organise the Congress, including arranging access, arranging meals (if applicable), verification of identity, and organising associated events;

to provide information and services through the Congress website;
(if you are a speaker) to include your name, biography and presentations on the Congress website, publications and programme;
where required or permitted by law;
for other purposes directly relating to the purposes identified above; and
otherwise with your consent.
The HA will obtain your consent before using your personal data for any other purposes.
For the above purposes, please also note that your personal data may be made available to:
third party service providers who provide administrative, storage, telecommunications, information technology and other services to the HA to assist in organising or staging the Congress (and those service providers are subject to obligations not to use or disclose that data, except to provide those services); and
relevant government departments or authorities, if the HA is required or permitted to provide it under the relevant legislation.
The HA will retain your personal data for a maximum of 3 years after the completion of the Congress, subject to any legal or regulatory requirements to retain it for a longer period.
