We provide scholarly conference management software (the “ <strong>Services</strong> ”). </p> <h4>About our Privacy Policy</h4> <p> We respect your right to privacy and take seriously our responsibilities in relation to the processing of personal data. We do not collect or process personal data unnecessarily. In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the <strong>“GDPR”</strong> ), this privacy policy (the <strong>“Policy”</strong> ) describes how we collect and use personal data. </p> <p> This Policy sets out important information about your rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, and the basis upon which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed in connection with your use of this website, <a href='/'>www.exordo.com</a> ( <strong>“our Site”</strong> or <strong>“the Site”</strong> ) and/or the Services. We do not knowingly attempt to solicit or receive information from children. </p> <h4>Controller and Processor</h4> <p> Under this Policy, and unless we have entered into a different arrangement with you, we are both what’s known under the GDPR as the “controller” of the personal data you provide to us and the “processor” of personal data. We are a “controller” as we control personal data provided to us by our employees, clients/conference organisers and conference participants (to a certain limited extent); and we decide on the purpose and means of processing this personal data. </p> <p>Where we process personal data on behalf of conference organisers in relation to any particular conference, we do so as processor under the terms of a separate agreement.</p> <h4>THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT</h4> <p>We will collect and process the following data about you for the following purposes:</p> <h4>Information you give us.</h4> <p> <strong>Your Data.</strong> This is information about you that you give us by filling in forms on our Site or our app or by corresponding with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise.

consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us at <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> If we need to use your personal data 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 data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with this Policy, where this is required or permitted by law. </p> <h3>How long we keep your information.</h3> <p> We will only retain your personal data 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. This means that the period of time for which we store your personal data may depend on the type of data we hold. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. This may vary according to legal requirements or other regulatory requirements in a particular country. For more information about our data retention policies please contact us at <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> </p> <h4>DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION</h4> <p>We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We may disclose information to third parties if you consent to us doing so as well as in the following circumstances:</p> <p> <strong>You agree that we have the right to share your personal information with the following recipients or categories of recipients:</strong> </p> <ul> <li> <p> Selected third parties including: <p> <ul> <li> <p>business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you in relation to the Services;</p> </li> <li> <p>government agencies, authorities or departments for the purposes of complying with any security requirements or legal obligations in relation to the Services;</p> </li> <li> <p>analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our Site.</p> </li> </ul> </p> </p> </li> </ul> <p> <strong>We will disclose your personal information to third party recipients:</strong> </p> <ul> <li> <p>in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we will disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of our business or assets;</p> </li> <li> <p>if all or substantially all of our business or assets are acquired by or transferred to a third party whether in the event of a merger, reorganisation, transfer of undertakings, receivership, liquidation or other winding up or any other similar circumstances, in which case personal data held by us will be one of the transferred assets;</p> </li> <li> <p>if we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal data in order to comply with any law, legal obligation or court order, or in order to enforce rights under the GDPR or other agreements;</p> </li> <li> <p>to protect our rights, property or safety and of our customers, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the maintenance and security of the Site and Services.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS</h3> <p> Personal Data may be shared and/or transferred to our trusted partners and service providers who maintain their servers outside of the European Economic Area (“ <strong>EEA</strong> ”), where the privacy and data protection laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. This is only for the purposes of providing, and to the extent necessary to provide, the Services to you. There are special requirements set out under Chapter V of the GDPR (with which we would comply) to regulate such data transfers and ensure that adequate security measures are in place to safeguard and maintain the integrity of your personal data on transfer. </p> <p> For more information about this and the safeguards in place relating to the transfer, please contact us by email at <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> </p> <h3>THIRD PARTY MATERIAL</h3> <p>We always endeavour to deal with vendors and other third parties who are GDPR compliant or, in the case of the third parties located outside of the EEA, who are certified as compliant with the EU-US Privacy Shield, as applicable, or who have adequate security measures in place to safeguard the security of personal data. That said, we, our employees and/or agents accept no liability howsoever arising for the content or reliability of any third party materials or websites referenced by hyperlink or other means on the Site or for the data collection and use practices or security measures used by such third parties. If you submit personal data to any of those sites, your personal data is governed by their privacy policy. We encourage you to carefully read their privacy policies.</p> <h3>SECURITY MEASURES</h3> <p>We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.</p> <p>We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.</p> <h3>YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND YOUR RIGHTS</h3> <h4>Accessing your Personal Data.</h4> <p> You may request access at any time to a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Any such request should be submitted to us in writing and sent to <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms Of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> We will need to verify your identity in such circumstances and may request more information or clarifications from you if needed to help us locate and provide you with the personal data requested. </p> <p>There is usually no charge applied to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.</p> <h4>Right of Restriction.</h4> <p>You may restrict us from processing your personal data in any of the following circumstances:</p> <ul> <li> <p>you have contested the accuracy of the personal data we hold on record in relation to you or for a period of time to enable us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;</p> </li> <li> <p>the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you request the restriction of use of the personal data instead of its erasure;</p> </li> <li> <p>we no longer require your personal data for the purpose of processing but you require this data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or</p> </li> <li> <p>where you have contested the processing (under Article 21(1) of the GDPR) pending the verification of our legitimate grounds.</p> </li> </ul> <h4>Corrections or Erasure (Right to Rectification and Right to Be Forgotten).</h4> <p>If we hold personal data concerning you which are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or if you withdraw consent for us to process your personal data, you can request the deletion of this personal data. We will retain minimal personal data in order to comply with this request. This right, however, will not apply where we are required to process personal data in order to comply with a legal obligation. If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, you may request to have your personal information updated and corrected. To do so at any time, please contact us by email at terms@exordo.com.</p> <h4>Your Right to Object.</h4> You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time: <ul> <li> <p>for direct marketing purposes;</p> </li> <li> <p>for profiling to the extent it relates to direct marketing;</p> </li> <li> <p>where we process your personal data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us, except where we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for this processing which would override your interests, rights and freedoms or in connection with the enforcement or defence of a legal claim.</p> </li> </ul> <p> To exercise your right to object at any time, please email <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms Of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> </p> <p>Should you object, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes unless doing so is justified by a compelling legitimate ground as described above. We will retain minimal personal data in order to comply with this request. For more information about our marketing practices, please see the Marketing Communications section below.</p> <h4>Data Portability.</h4> <p>Where we process your personal data by automated means (i.e., not on paper) and this processing is based on your consent or required for the performance of a contract between us, you have the right to request from us a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to request that we transmit your personal data in this format to another controller.</p> <h4>Profiling.</h4> <p>Profiling is an automated form of processing of personal data often used to analyse or predict personal aspects about an individual person. This could relate to a person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. An example of this would be where a bank uses an automated credit scoring system to assess and accept/reject a loan application.</p> <p>You have the right to be informed if your personal data will be subject to automated decision making, including profiling. You also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated process, including profiling, where that decision impacts on your legal rights. There are some exceptions to this rule, where, for example, the decision is necessary in connection with the performance of a contract between us, is authorised by law or where you have given your explicit consent to this automated processing. We engage in profiling in order to identify your location so that we can provide the Services to you.</p> <h4>Personal Rights</h4> <p>The rights described in this section are personal rights and are exercisable only by the individual person (or data subject) concerned.</p> <h3>MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS</h3> <h4>General.</h4> <p>We will not use your data to send marketing communications to you about promotions competitions, updates and new products/services that may be of interest to you, unless we have your permission to do so.</p> <h4>Your right to object to marketing.</h4> <p> You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for our marketing purposes. To do so at any time, please contact us at <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms Of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> You may also opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by selecting the unsubscribe option when you receive an electronic marketing communication from us. The withdrawal of your consent will not impact upon the lawfulness of processing based on your consent prior to the withdrawal. </p> <h3>CHANGES TO THIS POLICY</h3> <p>Any changes made to this Policy from time to time will be published at the Site.</p> <p>Any material or other change to the data processing operations described in this Policy which is relevant to or impacts on you or your personal data, will be notified to you in advance by email. In this way, you will have an opportunity to consider the nature and impact of the change and exercise your rights under the GDPR in relation to that change (e.g., to withdraw consent or to object to the processing) as you see fit.</p> <h3>QUESTIONS OR COMPLAINTS.</h3> <p> <strong>Contact Us.</strong> If you have any questions or complaints relating to this Policy, please contact us at: </p> <p> Ex Ordo Limited <br> Atlanta House <br> 30 Dominick Street Lower <br> Galway <br> Ireland <br> Email: <a href='mailto:terms@exordo.com' title='Ex Ordo Terms Of Service'>terms@exordo.com.</a> </p> <p> <strong>Supervisory Authority.</strong> We are committed to complying with the terms of the GDPR and to the processing of personal data in a fair, lawful and transparent manner.
