Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SGX Events ("SGX", "we", "us", or "our") collects and processes personal information when you use sgxevents.com, submit enquiry or newsletter forms, communicate with our teams, or interact with our conference, summit, exhibition, and partnership activities.

SGX Events organises international scientific conferences, executive summits, technology forums, and related commercial programmes. Controllers for personal data processed through this corporate website may operate through our regional offices in Dubai, London, Singapore, and Boston.

Contact for privacy matters: info@sgxevents.com. Telephone: +971 4 000 0000.

This policy applies to:

• Visitors to sgxevents.com and linked SGX corporate pages
• Individuals who submit contact, sponsorship, exhibition, media, or newsletter forms
• Prospective delegates, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, and partners engaging with SGX
• Journalists and media contacts requesting assets or briefings

Individual conference websites (including registration, abstract submission, payment, and onsite apps) may present additional event-specific privacy notices. Where those notices apply, they govern processing for that event in addition to this corporate policy.

Information you provide: name, email address, telephone number, organisation, job title, country, enquiry type, message content, and any attachments or materials you choose to share.

Event and partnership context: sector interest, preferred event themes, sponsorship or exhibition preferences, attendance history with SGX where relevant, and communication preferences.

Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and approximate location derived from IP, collected through standard server logs and, where enabled, analytics cookies.

We do not intentionally collect special-category data through the corporate site forms. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it for a lawful event purpose.

We process personal data to:

• Respond to enquiries about sponsorship, exhibition, media, attendance, or partnerships
• Provide requested information, prospectuses, and media kits
• Send portfolio updates and community communications where you have opted in
• Operate, secure, and improve sgxevents.com
• Maintain business records, prevent fraud or misuse, and meet legal obligations
• Coordinate with regional SGX teams and trusted service providers supporting event delivery (for example email, CRM, or hosting providers)

We do not sell personal data. We do not share contact details with unrelated third parties for their independent marketing without a lawful basis and, where required, your consent.

Depending on your location and the activity, we rely on:

• Legitimate interests — responding to business enquiries, operating our websites, and developing relevant event relationships
• Consent — newsletter subscriptions and optional marketing communications
• Contract — steps prior to entering, or performance of, sponsorship, exhibition, or service arrangements
• Legal obligation — compliance, accounting, and regulatory requirements where applicable

When you register for an SGX conference or related programme, additional data may be collected (dietary needs, accessibility requirements, abstract metadata, badge information, and payment references). That processing is described in the relevant event privacy notice and registration terms.

Badge scanning or lead-capture tools used by sponsors/exhibitors, where offered, operate under the terms presented at that event. You may choose whether to share your details with participating organisations.

Data may be accessed by SGX personnel across our regional offices and by carefully selected processors who provide hosting, email, CRM, analytics, or event operations support under confidentiality and data-processing commitments.

Because SGX operates internationally, information may be transferred between jurisdictions (including the UAE, United Kingdom, Singapore, and the United States). Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Enquiry records are retained for as long as needed to manage the relationship and for a reasonable business period thereafter (typically up to 24 months for unresolved marketing preferences, longer where contracts, finance, or legal holds require). Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe. Technical logs are kept for shorter operational periods.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data, and you may object to certain processing or withdraw consent for marketing at any time.

To exercise these rights, email info@sgxevents.com with the subject line "Privacy Request". We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling the request.

Our websites and professional events are directed to adults in research, industry, and related professional roles. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children through this site.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect operational, legal, or event portfolio changes. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
