As a network based organization, GRI regularly needs to collect personal information from stakeholders through this website and through email communications. The respect of your privacy is essential to building a trust between GRI and its stakeholders. The following is GRI’s policy relating to the protection of your personal data. 

Information collection

This GRI Conference website has two areas in which you are prompted to provide your data:

Conference and RCA updates - Subscribe

If you wish to subscribe to GRI’s contact list to receive ad hoc update emails, you requested to provide your email address, and then you can choose to provide additional details such as your full name, your company and your country. This form links back to GRI’s 3rd party e-marketing provider dotMailer who has very strict rules surrounding privacy. Once you are signed up and you start receiving email updates, you can always opt-out of these communications by clicking on the ‘unsubscribe’ link provided on the email.
Please see dotMailer’s privacy policy here.


Conference registration

All links to the conference registration page take you to a third party online registration platform – Eventure – which is managed by GRI’s professional conference organizer, Eurocongress. The information provided by you in the online registration form is therefore managed by Eurocongress, but GRI conference staff also has access to this data. Both parties will ensure the strictest privacy procedures are in place when transferring the data from one party to another.

You can find the link to the Eurocongress/Eventure privacy policy at the bottom of the registration website, which will also provide details on how all payment transactions are handled.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on your computer tied to information about you. There are two sorts of cookies: a session ID cookie is temporary and terminates once you close your browser.
