Your California Privacy Rights

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third party affiliates for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to info@idrlc.com.

Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the websites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. Because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals. In some cases, third parties may be able to collect information about a user’s online activities over time and across different websites when he or she uses our Services.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our information practices. If we make any material changes we will notify you by email (sent to the email address you have given us). We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

Legal Basis for Data Processing: We process Personal Data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, as described above. Our legal basis to process personal data includes processing that is: necessary for the performance of the contract between you and the IDRLC; necessary to comply with legal requirements (for example, to comply with applicable accounting rules and to make mandatory disclosures to law enforcement as well as to ensure your safety and the safety of our venues if you attend an IDRLC Event) necessary for our legitimate interests (for example, to manage our relationship with you and to improve the website and for the IDRLC’s commercial, advertising and marketing activities); and based on consent by our customers (for example, to communicate with you about our event and provide you with marketing information), which may subsequently be withdrawn at any time by emailing unsubscribe@idrlc.om based on consent before its withdrawal.
