Your information.
Clearly explained.
NL Business Forum brings local businesses and professionals together across North Lanarkshire. This notice explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it and how we use it when you register for events or interact with the Forum.
Who we are
NL Business Forum is a local business community created to connect businesses, sole traders and professionals across North Lanarkshire.
For the purposes of the personal information collected through this website and our events, NL Business Forum is responsible for deciding how that information is used.
What information we collect
When you register for an event or contact NL Business Forum, we may collect information including:
- Your name
- Business or organisation name
- Business sector
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Information you provide about what you would like to gain from an event
- Dietary requirements
- Accessibility requirements
- Your communication preferences
Why we use your information
We use the information you provide primarily to administer NL Business Forum events and communicate with you about your registration.
This may include confirming your place, providing event information, notifying you of changes and helping us plan an event appropriately for those attending.
Dietary and accessibility information
Providing dietary or accessibility information is optional. Where you choose to provide it, we will use that information only where reasonably necessary to help us accommodate your requirements when organising an event.
Please only provide information that is relevant to your attendance at the event.
Updates about future events
When registering, you may choose to receive information about future NL Business Forum events, activities and relevant Forum updates.
This is optional. Choosing not to receive these updates will not affect your ability to attend an event.
You can ask us to stop sending these communications at any time by contacting us.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information with organisations or individuals helping us operate an event where this is reasonably necessary, for example a venue where dietary or accessibility arrangements need to be made.
We may also use service providers that help us operate our website, communications or registration system.
How long we keep your information
We will keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including the administration of events and any appropriate record-keeping requirements.
Where you have chosen to receive future updates, we may retain the contact details needed for that purpose until you ask us to stop.
