We use all this information to administer your registration for the event and your attendance and participation in it. We will use your email address to email you to remind you about the event you register for, and (unless you unsubscribe) to let you know about any similar event occurring the following year. Our lawful basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in providing information about the event that you have registered for, and facilitating your attendance and participation.

We also collect certain information about your attendance at and participation in the event – the ‘stages’ or employer area you attend, and any 1-2-1 video or chat sessions you engage in with employers. We use that information to compile statistics about attendance and participation patterns for our events (on an anonymised, aggregated basis).

If you have consented to it, we will use the information regarding which employer areas you attended or interacted with during the event so that we can pass your email address to them so that they can get tell you about their recruitment activities.

Operating the event involves us providing 1-2-1 chat and video features for you to interact with employers. We delete the chat  after the event. We do not retain a copy of the video. We also allow participants to contribute or respond to certain materials or presentations of employers, including by video – these video contributions or responses are deleted after the event.
