Privacy and Data Protection Policy

The Enterprise Opinions Group of companies (The ITAM Review and ITAM Review Learning) understand that your privacy is important to you and that you care about how your personal data is used. We respect and value the privacy of everyone who we interact with whether you visit our website, attend one of our events or apply for job. We do not collect personal data about you unless we need it for a specific purpose. Any personal data we do collect will only be used as permitted by law and according to the original purpose for collecting it in the first place, unless you give us permission to process it for other reasons or it is lawful for us to do so.

Please read this privacy policy carefully and ensure that you understand it. If you have any questions or need more information please contact us using the contact details below.

About us

The ITAM Review (https://itassetmanagement.net) and ITAM Review Learning (https://lisa.training) are part of the Enterprise Opinions Limited family of companies. They are all legal entities in their own right but complement each other and all relate to IT asset management. 

As such, this privacy policy sets out how collectively we process your personal data when you engage with all or any of these parts of our business. You should think of them as two websites run by the same company and therefore we will collect and process data from both parts of the business collectively, although it will always be obvious which part of the business you are interacting with at any time.

What Data Do We Collect?

The kind of personal data collected will vary depending on how you interact with us:

  • If you register with us, for example for a webinar or attendance at one of our conferences, or to use the LISA system, we will collect personal information you are asked to supply as part of the registration:
    • Name and job title
    • Contact information including email address
    • Demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests
  • If you visit one of our websites (https://itassetmanagement.net/, https://lisa.training (“our sites”), we will collect your Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, details about your browser and your location (based on your IP address), which are automatically logged by our web servers.
  • If you send us an email, contact us by phone or use one of our contact forms, we may collect your name, your email address, other contact information and any other information which you choose to give us.
  • If you signup to receive our email newsletter, we will collect your name and email address.
  • If you sponsor one of our conferences or webinars or content published on our sites, we will collect contact information from your organisation for the purposes of managing the sponsorship opportunity.

What we do with the information we gather?

We will only collect personal information from you that we require for a specific lawful purpose. It will always be obvious why we need the information. We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, in particular for the following reasons:

  • Internal record keeping and to meet our legal obligations.
  • To provide our services to you.
  • To improve our products and services and the functionality of our sites.
  • To respond to your requests.
  • To signpost information that may be of interest to you such as directing you to downloading information that has been written by a third party or to register for  one of our online conferences with multiple sponsors.
  • We may also, where it is lawful for us to do so, periodically send promotional emails about new products / services, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.
  • From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you for market research purposes.

Where our sites link to content on other websites, please note that we have no control over how your data is collected, stored, or used by these other websites and we advise you to check the privacy policies of any such websites before providing any data to them.

Data collected for our online & in-person events

Where we do so, for the purposes of the event we will be joint-controller with the partner. As such, your registration details will be shared with the partner, who may contact you with information related to the joint project and/or their products and services.

We use a number of social media channels to promote our business and to interact with individuals.

We may use advertising functionality of these channels as well as search engines in conjunction with the cookies we use on our own sites to target advertising to you about our products and services. Where we do, we will only do so when it is lawful to advertise in this way.

How we store your data

Any personal data we hold will be processed and stored securely, for no longer than is necessary in light of the reason(s) for which it was first collected. We will comply with our obligations and safeguard your rights under the GDPR at all times.

We use a number of third-party systems to store your personal data; these will vary depending on whether you call us on the phone, email us, sign up for our newsletter, for an online conference, etc.

We will only store the minimal amount of information in these systems and we only use third-party systems that we can trust to be GDPR compliant. We also make sure we have a contract (sometimes called a Data Processing Agreement or DPA) in place to legally bind that compliance.

For some of these third-party systems this does mean that your data may be stored and processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this is the case, we have made sure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure appropriate protection for your data.

Retention of your personal information

Unless stated elsewhere in this document, in our terms of services or any other privacy information provided to you, we only keep your personal data for as long as it is lawful for us to do so (e.g. to provide services to you), and/or for as long as we have your permission to keep it.
