DATA PRIVACY POLICY FOR CONVENTION, CONFERENCES & OTHER SIMILAR EVENTS

Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) respects your  privacy and has prepared this policy in our commitment to protect your privacy. This privacy policy is intended to describe to you the information we collect, how that information may be used, with whom it may be shared, and your choices about such uses and disclosures.

Accordingly, this Privacy Notice will explain to you briefly how we intend to process your information in relation to the event.

The registration is done through our website convention.ceap.org.ph or in-person at our registration booths. Our online website does not typically collect personally-identifying information unless you choose to interact with us or you choose to register and provide your information. All information collected through our site is securely processed by our sub-processor.

Purpose of Collection of Personal Information and Use

We will use your information to communicate with you about the event’s updates and announcements. This includes contacting you should there be need for clarifications or additional information, for feedback/survey, and sending you updates on our upcoming events and activities.

In some events, you will be provided with ID badges containing QR codes. Imbedded in the QR code are the personal information you provided us during registration. The QR codes will be used to easily monitor your attendance and get information about the products and services including freebies from our sponsors. Please note that your personal information in the QR code can easily be accessed and shared by using handheld scanners/smartphones. It is your responsibility to protect your ID badges against unauthorized use and access. During the event, participants and our sponsors may request to directly scan your QR code. This is purely voluntary and you may always decline. The sponsor’s use of your information in this situation is subject to your direct relationship with the sponsors and their own privacy policies. CEAP takes no responsibility for how that company uses your personal information.

If you are a speaker in our events, we will be processing your name, title, company, professional bio, education, as well as your presentation slides (if applicable), photos and videos of you at our events. With your consent, the presentation slides (if applicable), photos and videos may be made public, through the channels we consider appropriate (our website, third party websites, social media).

Photography and Video Recording

Photography and video recording may occur when you attend the event for purposes of documentation, organization meeting presentation, promotion (e.g., video production, newsletter publication). Should you wish that your image, video or audio be not recorded and/or later published, you may inform us via the contact information below or through any of our representatives during the event itself.

Other than to our personnel, processors and affiliated organizations and partners as described below, CEAP only discloses personal information when required under the law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when CEAP believes in good faith that the disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the rights of CEAP.
