2. How We Share Your Information with Third Parties.

Except as set forth in this Privacy Notice or when specifically agreed to by you, we will not disclose personal information we gather from you to third parties unless MSM is required to share this information to complete your request or for legitimate business purposes. MSM shares personal information in the following circumstances:

Third-Party Service Providers. We may share your information with vendors or third parties who deliver or provide goods and services or otherwise act on behalf of or at the direction of MSM. These third parties may include, for example, our third-party technology providers, including our mobile application vendor, training providers and partners, product- fulfilment companies, and third-party event hosts, hotels for conference registrants, sponsors, co-sponsors and exhibitors.

Further, by registering and attending a MSM event, you agree irrevocably, with no compensation to you, that MSM or any third party who is acting on MSM’s behalf may create images, videos and/or sound recordings of you (“works”) at the event for marketing purposes. This grant of rights in the works also includes the rights to adapt, reproduce, distribute, perform, make available to the public, broadcast, re-transmit or sub-license the works to MSM’s affiliates. This grant of rights in the works also includes all current and future media and is not restricted to time or territory.

Potential Employers.

When you provide information in the Career Center, your information may be accessible to potential employers or recruiters. MSM will only share information about you with potential employers or recruiters if you consent in advance to our sharing of this information.

Response to Subpoenas, Court Orders, Government Requests or to Protect Rights and to Comply with Our Policies. To the extent permitted by law, we will disclose your information to government authorities or third parties if: (a) required to do so by law or regulation, or in response to a subpoena or court order or any other enforceable governmental request or order; (b) we believe in our sole discretion that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect against fraud, to protect the property or other rights of us or other users, third parties or the public at large; or (c) we believe that you have abused the Sites by using them to attack other systems or to gain unauthorised access to any other system, to engage in spamming or otherwise to violate applicable laws. You should be aware that, following disclosure to any third party, your information may be accessible by others to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. In the event of a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of our assets, any user information owned or controlled by us may be one of the assets transferred to third parties. Unless you are residing in the European Economic Area, we reserve the right, as part of this type of transaction, to transfer or assign your information and other information we have collected from users to third parties. MSM will still ensure the confidentiality and security of any user information. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred user information will be subject to this Privacy Notice. Aggregate Information. We may share your information with affiliated or unaffiliated third parties on an anonymous, aggregate basis. While this information will not identify you personally, in some instances these third parties may be able to combine this aggregate information with other data they have about you, or that they receive from third parties, in a manner that allows them to identify you personally. Where we do share your personal data with third parties, MSM takes steps to ensure that they use appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data.

3. Information for Individuals Located in the European Union.

Legal Basis for The Processing of Personal Information from EEA Residents

If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA), our processing of your personal information will be legitimised as follows:

(i) Whenever we require your consent for the processing of your personal information such processing will be justified pursuant to Article 6(1) lit. (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). This article in the GDPR describes when processing can be done lawfully.

(ii) If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and MSM or for taking any pre-contractual steps upon your request, such processing will be based on GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (b).”). If this data is not processed, MSM will not be able to execute the contract with you.

(iii) Where the processing is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation, we will process your information on basis of GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (c), for example complying in the fields of employment law.

(iv) And where the processing is necessary for the purposes of MSM’s legitimate interests, such processing will be made in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1) lit. (f), for example to detect fraud.

Transferring Personal Data from the EU to the US:

MSM has its headquarters in Australia. Information we collect from you will be processed in Australia. Australia has not sought nor received a finding of “adequacy” from the European Union under Article 45 of the GDPR). A finding of “adequacy” in short means that the European Commission has decided that this country outside the EEA ensures an adequate level of data protection. MSM relies on derogations as set forth in Article 49 of the GDPR as the United States has no “adequacy” decision and no other safeguards under the GDPR are in place (for example binding corporate rules on the transfer outside the EEA). In particular, MSM collects and transfers to the U.S. personal data only: with your explicit consent; to perform a contract with you; in a manner that does not outweigh your rights and freedoms. If this data is not processed and transferred, MSM will not be able to execute the contract with you or you will not have access to any or all of the benefits and features associated with your transaction. MSM endeavours to apply suitable safeguards to protect the privacy and security of your personal data and to use it only consistent with your relationship with MSM and the practices described in this Privacy Notice. MSM also minimizes the risk to your rights and freedoms by not collecting or storing sensitive information about you.

If you wish to confirm that MSM is processing your personal data, or to have access to the personal data MSM may have about you, please contact us at [email protected] or access the Data Subject Access Portal.

You may withdraw your consent for the processing of personal data or the further processing of personal data by MSM at any time. You may also request that MSM cease using your data for direct marketing purposes.

We will retain your personal data as long as you are an MSM registered user or require our services so that we can provide these services to you.
