If, during registration, you choose to indicate that you are happy to be contacted after the webinar, Protect may share your:

  • Name

  • Discuss products, services or solutions that are relevant to the webinar topic

Your details will only be shared where you have explicitly agreed to this during registration.

Protect does not sell or share attendee information with third parties for unrelated marketing purposes.



Third-party platforms

Protect uses trusted third-party providers to deliver webinars, including:

  • StreamYard
  • LinkedIn Live

These organisations process personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms of service.



Lawful basis for processing

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Protect processes your personal information using the following lawful bases:

  • Legitimate interests – to organise and deliver professional educational events and administer registrations.
  • Consent – where you choose to receive marketing communications or agree to your contact details being shared with webinar speakers or participating organisations.



How long we keep your information

We retain registration information only for as long as necessary to administer webinars, maintain appropriate business records and comply with legal obligations.

Webinar recordings may be retained for longer where they continue to provide educational value to Protect members.



Sharing your information

Protect does not sell your personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us administer webinars, communications and related services. These providers process data only on our behalf and under appropriate contractual safeguards.

Where you have provided your consent, we may also share your contact details with the speaker(s) and participating organisation(s) for the webinar you attended, as described above.

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information where appropriate
  • Object to certain types of processing
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Withdraw your consent at any time where processing relies on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the email address above.
