Legal basis for processing your data

Our legal basis for processing your personal data is our legitimate interest. Networking for Know-how is a networking group and needs to contact you to inform you of its meetings and related activities and to share relevant information with you.

Members (and their respective firms) may store and use your data for the purposes of communicating with other members in connection with meetings and related activities and to share relevant information.

• We may share your personal data with limited third parties, but this will only be for the purposes of organising our meetings (such as providing a list of attendees to the firm that is hosting a meeting) or for related administrative purposes.

• Personal data may also appear on our website in relation to past or forthcoming meetings, including the names of speakers.

• We may be required to share your personal data if required by law or regulation or by any government, court or regulator.

​

How long do we store your personal data?

We will store your personal data as listed above until you inform us that you no longer wish to receive details of meetings or we are informed that your email address is no longer in use.

​

What are your rights and how can you exercise them?
