  • Send you newsletters, updates, or marketing communications (only if you have opted in).

We do not use your data for any purposes not outlined in this policy, and marketing communications will only be sent if you provide explicit consent.

5. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal data with third-party suppliers, except for:

  • Wix: Our website provider that handles website forms and data storage.

Both platforms are GDPR compliant, and all data is stored within the UK or EU. We do not sell or distribute your personal data unless required by law.

​

7. Delegate Data Usage

For events using Blendology's digital badges, event organisers provide us with delegate data (name, job title, company, etc.) to facilitate badge creation and networking. Delegates can opt out of data sharing at the event, but key identification details (name, company, job title) will remain visible for badge purposes.

​

8. Data Security

We use the following measures to protect your data:

  • Data is encrypted and stored on secure servers with multiple firewalls and two-factor authentication.

  • All data is stored within the UK and EU, in compliance with GDPR.

  • Rectification: You may request the correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.

  • Deletion: You can request that your data be deleted unless it is required for legal purposes, such as tax records.

  • Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time via the opt-out link in our emails.

​

10. Data Breach Procedures

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 72 hours and contact affected individuals via email within two working days. Delegates will be informed through the event organiser unless they have directly interacted with Blendology.
