If you visit one of our trade fairs, are an exhibitor in any, visit our website out of interest or respond to any of our social media publications, we will process certain personal data pertaining to you. We would like to treat the processing of your personal data transparently. For this reason we explain in this privacy statement what personal data pertaining to you we collect and use, why we do this and the purpose for which we do so. We recommend that you read this statement carefully.
What personal data do we process?
Visitors
In exchange for sharing your data, you will gain access to a trade fair. Once you attend a trade fair, you may contact the exhibitors participating in it and also gain access to valuable content.
You will share your details with the aid of a registration form:
- on the website of the relevant trade fair;
- upon registration when entering a trade fair;
- through an exhibitor’s invitation URL. When registering in response to an exhibitor’s invitation, you will be sharing your data with both that exhibitor and OGZ.

During our trade fairs you will often have the opportunity to attend a talk. Your access pass will be scanned in order to gain access to a particular talk. By having your access badge scanned you will be sharing your data with the relevant speaker and/or the organisation to which they are facilitated.
When you visit a trade fair, you will come into contact with exhibitors. An exhibitor may request your details, for example, in order to scan your badge. If you permit this, you will be sharing the above-mentioned details with the relevant exhibitor.

For what purposes do we process your data?
Provision of services
OGZ processes your personal data in order to be able to provide services, for example, for your registration for the trade fair for which you have registered or in which you will participate as an exhibitor, to send you tickets, to provide you with admission to a trade fair, to answer your questions or deal with your complaints in relation to a trade fair, and to draw up and issue invoices to exhibitors and collect payment from them.
Provision of information
OGZ processes your personal data in order to be able to communicate with you and provide you with information by email, post or by telephone. You will receive practical and/or other information about the trade fair for which you have registered or in which you will participate, such as the participating exhibitors, talks, starting and ending times, the route and parking facilities.
We will use the electronic contact details which we obtain upon your registration or participation to notify you of similar OGZ trade fairs by email. You may at all times unsubscribe from such messages by following the instructions contained in each email message. In addition, we will also use your address to be able to inform you about our trade fairs by post.
We will always first seek your consent to notify you of any OGZ events other than trade fairs and conferences or third-party products and services. As it happens, we never sell the personal data of our visitors and exhibitors to other parties.
Profiling
We use profiling to make your visit to a trade fair as relevant as possible. For example, you will be notified of any speakers and exhibitors that may be of interest to you. You will always be entitled to object to profiling for direct marketing purposes.
Analysis, and market and other research
We may use your personal data to conduct research and analyses for the purposes of improving OGZ’s services. At the end of a trade fair we may also ask you whether you would like to participate in market research or a survey free of obligation, so as to enable us to improve our services. Participation in a survey is entirely voluntary.
Contact with OGZ
If you contact us or we contact you by phone or email, or though social media or chat, or in some other way, your details will be recorded. In this way OGZ staff will later be able to show that we have previously had contact with you and what it was about. In this way we will be able to help you better and faster. Consider, for instance, questions concerning our services, payments, complaints or whether you would like to participate in market research.
Job applicants
We process the details of job applicants as part of a recruitment and selection procedure with the aim of selecting the appropriate person from the candidates who have applied to fill a specific vacancy and to provide every applicant with feedback.
Legal duty
In accordance with the relevant legislation and regulations, OGZ may have a duty to process your personal data and/or supply it to another party, for example, when a competent authority, such as the police, requests it for the purposes of a criminal investigation.
May we process your data?
OGZ will process your personal data with your explicit consent, if it is necessary to do so for the purposes of executing an agreement, because it has a legal duty to do so or because it has a legitimate interest in processing your data for direct marketing purposes but you may always decline this.
How do we secure your data?
OGZ will adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, corruption, unauthorised inspection or any other form of unlawful processing. Amongst other things, we do this by taking physical and organisation measures to secure access to it, locking every desktop computer with the aid of a user name and password, and authorisation management, so as to ensure that it is impossible for all OGZ staff to view your data. Upgrading software and regularly testing our security measures constitute part of this.
For how long do we store your data?
We store your data for as long as it is necessary to do so in order to achieve the purposes for which we process it and for no longer than is legally permitted. The eventual retention period will differ from one type of personal data to the next. If you have visited one of our trade fairs, we will at any rate keep your data until you decline to allow us to or for two years following our last contact with you. We will store your electronic contact details for sending you direct mail until you unsubscribe from such email messages. We will use job applicants’ data for no more than four weeks after the end of the relevant job application procedure or for as long as you consent to us doing so. Your personal data will be anonymised or deleted upon the expiry of the relevant retention period.
Does OGZ avail itself of any other party’s services for the purposes of processing data?
OGZ avails itself of other parties’ services. This only occurs after security and privacy screening, and after such other party has signed a so-called data processing agreement in relation to the use and protection of personal data. Work in relation to which other parties are involved includes visitor record-keeping, a CRM system, email and online marketing, and hosting.
Does OGZ provide data to other parties?
In principle, OGZ does not supply or sell data to other parties. Nevertheless, in accordance with the relevant legislation and regulations, OGZ may have a duty to process your personal data and/or supply it to another party, for example, if a competent authority, such as the police, requests this for the purposes of a criminal investigation.
Does OGZ satisfy the requirements stipulated in the law?
OGZ exercises the utmost care when dealing with your personal data and complies with the legislation and regulations governing the protection of personal data, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related legislation and regulations.
How can you influence the processing of your personal data?
Everyone whose personal data we process is entitled to:
- inspect their personal data and obtain a copy of it;
- correct their personal data if it is incorrect;
- arrange for their data to be deleted or anonymised, because it is no longer correct or, for example, because they have revoked their consent;
- request a limitation of its processing (a temporary lock on their personal data) provided that they have legal grounds for doing so;
- arrange for their data to be transferred; and
- object to its specific use.
If you wish to exercise any of your rights, you may do so as follows. You may send a request by email to privacy@ogz.nl. In order to ensure that you have submitted such a request, OGZ will verify that the appropriate person is involved.
You will receive a reply by no later than within one month after your request has been received.
