The Leadership Board is an associated trade name of Strategy Insights.

Information We Collect

The Leadership Board is committed to respecting your privacy rights and protecting personal information about you at all times. Any personal data that you give us will be treated with the utmost care and security. It will not be used in ways to which you have not consented. 

“Personal Information” refers to information, which allows You to be directly or indirectly identified as an individual person. We may also collect “non-personal information” meaning it can’t be used to specifically identify anyone.  Non-personal information may also result from removing the personally identifiable parts from Personal Information. We collect and use both types of information and combinations of both types.

In operating our website and communicating electronically with you, we may collect and process the following data about you:

i. When you register for events, or purchase products, we ask you for personal information. We use this information to provide you with the highest-quality service, as well as information and updates pertaining to your order.

Upon registration or purchase additional personal information, such as credit card number and expiration date, may in some instances be requested. We may also collect additional information about hotel, meal and other travel preferences. This sensitive personal information, which is used solely for confirmation and billing purposes and to service the order, is used only for the purpose identified hereunder and is deleted in a secure and timely manner once that purpose has been served.

ii. We may collect and process details of your visits to our website and the resources that you access, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, IP address, operating system, access times, what browser you are using and other communication data.

iii. We may collect and process information provided to us when you communicate with us for any reason.

iv. We may collect and process information to send Users relevant information which they have agreed to receive.

Types of Information

• Name, business email address (when business email address is not available we may ask for an alternative email address), phone number, physical address
• Job title and professional details
• LinkedIn profile data
• Billing details
• Information relevant to event attendance, such as meal preferences and requested accommodations
• Opinions and other content or information submitted via our websites or other channels

How We Use Information We Collect  

The personal data we collect is primarily used to enable us to provide you with the service that you have requested or to respond to an enquiry that you have made. Collecting relevant information is a necessary part of us being able to provide you with the requested services and/or products.

We will only use your personal information fairly and securely, and will never do anything with it (such as sharing it with any other party) that you have not clearly agreed to, or that could be considered irresponsible.

Legal basis for the processing of data

The applicable legal basis for the processing of Personal Information depends on the circumstances relating to the relevant processing activities, as further described below:

• If the processing of Personal Information is necessary for one or more specific purposes, GDPR art. 6(1)(a) serves as the legal basis for processing operations.
• Performance of a contract. If the processing of Personal Information is necessary for the performance of a contract, such as for providing certain services, to which the data subject is party, GDPR art. 6(1)(b) serves as the legal basis for processing operations. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services.
• Legal obligation. If the processing of Personal Information is necessary for complying with a legal obligation, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, GDPR art. 6(1)(c) serves as the legal basis for processing operations.
• Vital interests. If the processing of Personal Information is necessary for protecting the vital interests of a natural person GDPR art. 6(1)(d) serves as the legal basis for processing operations.
• Legitimate interests. If the processing of Personal Information is necessary for processing operations which are not covered by any of the above mentioned legal grounds, but are deemed permissible for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Us, such as marketing, GDPR art. 6(1)(f) serves as the legal basis for processing operations.
