3. Lawful Basis for Processing (EEA visitors only)

If you are a citizen of, resident of, or visitor from the European Economic Area (the, “EEA”), our lawful basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only:

  • (a) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you;
  • (b) where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights, or;
  • (c) where we have your consent to do so.

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person (e.g., exercising your rights under data protection law and making rights’ requests; the establishment and defence of legal claims and rights).

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are. Such interests may include, for example where we contact you about Zendesk events; for the purposes of recording your image and/or voice; to send you marketing communications.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, you may contact us at privacy@zendesk.com.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

Your registration data will be shared with the event-organisers, who co-host, sponsor or are involved in the event, internal and external media outlets, and in some cases, other members of the Zendesk Group affiliates appropriate to the event for event-management purposes. We may also share personal information with third parties, where we have your consent to do so.

Internal and External Media Outlets: Recordings may be reproduced in various media outlets, including Zendesk Group outlets, through social media (such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram), Zendesk Group’s websites, publications in connection with the event, at related events, and for Zendesk Group’s promotional activities.

5. Retaining your data

We will retain your personal information for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the relevant purposes set out in this Policy. We will securely delete or erase your personal information following an event if there is no valid business reason for retaining your data, otherwise we retain the personal information we collect where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to enable your participation in another event, to comply with applicable law, or for marketing campaigns in accordance with your marketing preferences). In exceptional circumstances, we may retain your personal information for longer periods of time if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation, in the event of any complaints or there is another valid business reason the data will be needed in the future.

6. International Transfers

We store personal data about attendees within the EEA, in the United States and in other countries and territories. To facilitate our global operations, we may transfer and access such personal data from around the world. We do this under our group-wide Binding Corporate Rules, which guarantee an adequate level of data protection wherever your data is physically kept.

We have the right to disclose your personal data as required by law, or when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, request from a regulator or any other legal process served on the Zendesk Group.

If there is a takeover, sale or purchase of our business, we may disclose your personal data to the new (or prospective) owner of the business.
