Jaarbeurs App
As a visitor of exhibitions and events at Jaarbeurs we offer you extra services through our App. As a user of the App you provide Jaarbeurs with personal data or we process your personal data, for instance when you upload your e-ticket, navigate through the hall. When you install the App you also get access to specific event or exhibitions and venue information for your visit at Jaarbeurs. You have the choice to use the App as a guest or to register as user. To use certain services the App requires you to register yourself as a user.
Personal data and purposes of processing
Access to the App
Jaarbeurs processes the following personal data, by itself or through third parties, which is based on our performance of the agreement to give you access to the App:
- phone settings
- opt-in (permission) information
- notification settings
Jaarbeurs also collects the following personal data, by itself or through third parties, which is based on our legitimate interests to maintain and improve our services:
- click behaviour
- usage data (like timestamp, language, app updates, etc.)
- analytics data (like device information, network type, launches, operating systems, etc.)
Register as user
You can register as user by filling out the registration form and provide the personal data directly to the App. Jaarbeurs processes the following personal data, by itself or through third parties, which is based on the performance of the agreement for your registration and authentication:
- email address
- password
Your user account, including the personal data, will stay available for you after the exhibition or event, unless you delete it in the app account settings.
Navigation service
In order to provide you indoor wayfinding services (including notifications and information about crowd density) in the halls, we process the following personal data, by itself or through third parties, which is based on your explicit consent:
- Device sensor and radio data: Radio information such as BLE and WI-FI signals, GPS signals, as well as IMU sensor data, are processed to determine whether you are indoors and to compute your exact location.
- Location information: Location information such as coordinates (latitude and longitude), floor number, heading, and the corresponding timestamps, of the device are processed to compute the crowd density levels and provide you with indoor wayfinding.
The collection of data occurs both when the App is on foreground and when it’s on background. The above (personal) data will be collected in a pseudonymous format. This makes it possible to distinguish between different people and locations. The pseudonymous data will be deleted after 4 days (96 hours). After this, all data is either deleted or anonymized so that it is no-longer personally identifiable.
Jaarbeurs also collects the following personal data, by itself or through third parties, which is based on our legitimate interests to maintain and develop this service:
- Random user ID: we generate a random user ID when you first install the App. This identifier is used to link the data from the same device together (i.e. to create pseudonymous data), which is required to be able to technically provide this service, and to comply with regulatory inquiries and requirements.
- Other device information: device information such as operating system version, network connectivity status, and language preference are collected for monitoring the usage of the service.
- Log information: your use of the services may generate server logs, crash reports, and audit logs. These are collected to ensure the technical functionality and security of the services, audit and analyze the Services, and to prevent and investigate fraud and other misuses.
For crowd control we only use anonymized data to see and show the crowd density. To improve our services we only use anonymized location data to analyse the behaviour of our visitors, like the number of people who have passed a stand, the busiest ails and moments, etc.
All data is stored for a maximum period of 4 days (96 hours) after it has been collected or can be deleted earlier on your request. All data processed based on your explicit consent, including non-aggregated location data, will get deleted. The data processed on the grounds of our legitimate interest, such as log data and device model information, is either anonymized or deleted. Non-personal, anonymous data, such as the aggregated crowd density data and anonymized log data, are retained indefinitely.
E-ticket service
As a registered user you can upload your e-ticket in the App. When you use this service Jaarbeurs will process, by itself or through third parties, the following personal data, which is based on our legitimate interest:
- e-mail address (used for purchase e-ticket)

- QR-code
The above personal data can be deleted from the ticket page in the app.
