FROM PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SOURCES, OUR NETWORK, OR OTHER ORGANISATIONS
In the process of compiling our ranking, we extensively utilize data from publicly available sources, including LinkedIn and other professional networking sites, the Dealroom and PitchBook databases. In addition, we refer to The Complete List Of Unicorn Companies by CB Insights as of January 2023 to ensure comprehensive coverage.
While our ranking is a core aspect of our website, we may also organize exclusive invite-only events with a commitment to connecting individuals of the highest caliber. To ensure the optimal mix of attendees, we occasionally seek suggestions and introductions outside of our existing network, which comprises previous event attendees and invitees, Partners and Sponsors. In pursuit of this,

we may conduct research using publicly available sources such as LinkedIn and other professional networking sites to identify potential business contacts who would benefit from our events and services.

For the purpose outlined above, we collect limited Identity and Contact Data. This information is solely used to create our ranking extend invitations for our events, initiate discussions about speaking engagements, and explore potential sponsorship or partnership opportunities. If we contact you, we will provide a straightforward means for you to object to any further communication from us. Any personal data that may be utilized in the ranking can be promptly removed upon request.

OPTING OUT

You can ask us to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links in any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at angelshalloffame@gmail.com at any time.

Where you opt out of receiving these marketing messages, this will not apply to personal information provided to us as a result of other interactions via the website or during the event registration process.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE INFORMATION

You can still visit our website and learn more about Angels Hall of Fame without giving us your personal information. However, where you have indicated that you would like to attend one of our events or submitted an enquiry via the website we will need your Identity and Contact Data to complete your registration and administer and respond to your queries. We also need certain personal information to provide services or administer our business relationship with you.

COOKIES

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our websites may become inaccessible or not function

properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Notice .

CHANGE OF PURPOSE

We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

WHO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH

We may share limited, only publicly available personal information in our ranking on our website.

We may share limited personal information with event sponsors, partners and venues in connection with our ranking, Angels Hall of Fame-hosted or co-sponsored events, as described above.

We also use a number of service providers (our Suppliers) to perform functions on our behalf and help us in providing our services, such as cloud-based software and hosting suppliers, CRM software providers and web analytics providers.

We may share personal information with other companies in the Angels Hall of Fame network where they host or curate events in partnership with us, for example.

We may also share personal information with third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this privacy notice.

We may also be required to share some personal information as required to comply with the law.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE THE EEA

The information that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored at a destination outside the European Economic Area (EEA). For example, some of the Suppliers we use are based in the US and this would involve a transfer of your personal information to the US. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our Suppliers – e.g. where we host an event outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your information outside the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring appropriate safeguards are implemented. Please contact us if you want further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your personal information outside the EEA.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

● request access to your personal information and to certain other supplementary information that this privacy notice is already designed to address;
● require us to correct any mistakes in your information which we hold;
● require the erasure of personal information concerning you in certain
situations;
● receive the personal information concerning you which you have provided
to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and
have the right to transmit those data to a third party in certain situations;
● object at any time to processing of personal information concerning you for
direct marketing;
● object to decisions being taken by automated means which produce legal
effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you;
● object in certain other situations to our continued processing of your
personal information;
● otherwise restrict our processing of your personal information in certain
circumstances;

● withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal information, where we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent. Please note, however, that where you withdraw your consent this may limit our ability to provide services.

If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please email our data privacy officer at angelshalloffame@gmail.com and let us have enough information to identify you. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

KEEPING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION SECURE

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your information will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
