Privacy Statement

Fairs and events

Jaarbeurs organises exhibitions and events itself or hosts exhibitions or events of other organisations. As a visitor or exhibitor of these exhibitions and events, you provide Jaarbeurs with personal data, for example when ordering an admission ticket for an exhibition, by your participation in the exhibition, when parking your car or asking for information.

In addition, as a visitor or exhibitor, you may be filmed or photographed. This material may be published by Jaarbeurs to the extent permitted by law. If you are identifiable, our photographers or videographers will ask your permission before publication. For images of minors, the consent of the parent or guardian is requested. You have the right to withdraw the consent you have given at any time, but images published up to the time of withdrawal will continue to be lawfully processed. For mood images, where you are not directly or indirectly identifiable, consent is not required. There is also an exception for press and media photographers and videographers, among others. Publishing images for purely journalistic purposes does not, in principle, require consent. The relevant photo or videographer is himself responsible for complying with the regulations.

Third parties
In connection with the performance of its services, Jaarbeurs may exchange your personal data with third parties. For example, the parties involved in the organisation and execution of exhibitions and events by or at the Jaarbeurs, IT suppliers and suppliers of facility services. In addition, Jaarbeurs uses various advisors who could have access to your personal data, such as organisational advisors or lawyers.

As a visitor, during your online registration for access to our exhibitions or events, you will be informed about the sharing of your registration data (such as your name, company name, position, e-mail address, phone number, etc.) with exhibitors, among others. Such as sharing your registration data when you go through our registration via an exhibitor link and when you register for a session or watch a session online (via livestreaming). As a visitor at a physical fair or event, when you have your badge scanned at an exhibitor or at a theatre, you thereby consent to sharing your registration data with the relevant exhibitor or session provider. The sharing of this personal data, in response to your registration via a link from the exhibitor, having your badge scanned and registering for a session, is only done with your consent. The processing of your personal data by the relevant exhibitor or session provider is the sole responsibility of the relevant exhibitor or session provider. You can contact them for further information on how they handle your personal data.

As a visitor and exhibitor, you can access an online networking platform at certain exhibitions or events. In this, a profile of you is visible to other registered visitors, participating companies and session providers. This way, you can easily make connections, network, initiate appointments, register for sessions and watch online sessions (via livestreaming) before, during and after the trade show or event. It is of course up to you whether you take the initiative to do so, accept invitations from others and with whom you ultimately share your contact details. You will receive more information about the processing of your personal data in the online networking platform during the registration process of the relevant trade fair or event.

As an exhibitor you have access to a specially set up online environment of Jaarbeurs. The information you provide there may be provided by Jaarbeurs to third parties who may approach you for services that are complementary to those provided by Jaarbeurs. The reason for this provision is, on the one hand, to obtain additional income and, on the other hand, to be able to offer you the most complete service possible, so that you can present yourself optimally as an exhibitor at Jaarbeurs.

In addition, we may have to provide your personal data to third parties if we are required to do so by law. For example, the police or the municipality may request data from us in the context of fraud, security or investigation.
