How EY uses your data
EY will process your business contact data to send you direct marketing communications, administer your participation in EY events and for security purposes. Once subscribed, you can always unsubscribe from the emails you receive from us.
Processing your business contact information allows us to communicate with you via electronic mailings, text messages, in hard-copy form or, from time to time if necessary, also via phone.
We will process the information related to your marketing preferences to respond to your subscription request to receive specific direct marketing communication from us.
We will process your data in relation to the feedback that you have provided to us for the purposes of measuring your satisfaction and improving the quality of EY events. If, in the feedback form, you have specifically requested EY to contact you, we will reach out to you to discuss our services and how EY can support your organization.
We might be recording our webinars, for which you will be informed in advance. If you have spoken during the presentation or asked questions through the Q&A section or turned on your video – this data will be recorded and might be made available to other people who requested to view the on-demand recording.
We will publish the photographs and video recordings from EY marketing events on the EY website, social media channels or on other electronic or printed media. If you do not want to be photographed or video recorded, or if you do not want us to publish any picture or other visual media on which you appear, please let us know (at the event registration process or by sending an email to the contact below) before the event.
Security
EY is committed to making sure your personal data is secure. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, EY has technical and organizational measures to safeguard and secure your personal data. All EY personnel and third parties EY engages to process your personal data are obliged to respect your data confidentiality.
Sharing your data with third parties
We regularly partner with another organization (media, government institution, NGO, industry chamber, alliance partner, etc.) in organizing marketing events. For avoidance of doubt, these other parties and we act as separate controllers of personal data when carrying out our marketing campaigns. We do not share marketing databases.
When we administer the registration process for an event that we organize jointly with another organization, we might need to share your registration data with this other party. In any case, when we envisage sharing your personal data with such third parties, we will inform you about that in the invitation for the event.
Additionally, we may need to share your registration data with such third parties that help us organizing the event (for identification or security purposes, for administration, documentation and invoicing) only to the extent they need to process your data for providing these services to us.
Your personal data may be accessible by third parties engaged by EY to facilitate, maintain or support our CRM systems (for example, to provide information technology and other administrative support services to operate the CRM systems).
If any data sharing takes place between the EY Member Firms1, for that transfer we rely on the EY’s comprehensive global privacy compliance program that includes EUapproved Binding Corporate Rules, accessible on www.ey.com/bcr.
Data retention
Your personal data will be retained in compliance with privacy laws and regulations. Our policy is to retain personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes as detailed in this document. If you have opted out of receiving future EY publications, your basic contact details will remain on our opt-out list.
The EY’s CRM systems for the EY Member Firms in the EMEIA Region are hosted in the EY’s global data centers in Germany.
If you want to have your data deleted from our CRM systems or if you wish to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, please email us via dpo@gr.ey.com .
