Whose Information We Collect

We collect information from any one or all of the following three categories of users:

a) “Customer“: A Customer is one of Smart City’s direct customers (such as show managers, event planners, meeting space providers, venues and other entities for whom we create Applications and who use our Services) and customer personnel who are assigned a login id and are authorized to access and use our Services.
b) “End-User“: An End-User is a Customer’s business contact, marketing partner, or other third party contact who uses any of the Services to interact with Customers. For example, an individual who registers for an event organized by a Customer, downloads an event-related mobile app, or completes an online survey, is an End-User.
c) “Visitor“: A Visitor is anyone who interacts online with one of the Services.

The Information We Collect

Smart City and our Customers may collect several types of information from and about End-Users, including:

a) “Personal Information“: This refers to information that may be used to identify, contact or locate you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, social media account ID or other identifiers by which End-Users and Visitors may be contacted online or offline, billing address, payment information, financial institution information, information about uploads, Internet Protocol (IP) address, global positioning system (GPS) and other physical location markers, and time-stamp data, including meta-data. Smart City may collect Personal Information when you use the Services including, without limitation, when you set up an account, download materials, fill out surveys, correspond or otherwise communicate with Smart City through the Internet, or otherwise volunteer information about yourself.
b) “Non-Personal Information“: This refers to information that, by itself, does not identify you or cannot be used to identify you. Non-Personal Information does not directly relate to an individual on its own or in combination with other information we have collected or that has been provided. If we combine any Non-Personal Information with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated by us as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

The Information That We Might Have But Do NOT Use

Certain Smart City subsidiaries might possess what is known as CPNI or Customer Proprietary Network Information. CPNI is information that is made available to these subsidiaries because you purchase telecommunications services from them. CPNI includes the type, destination, technical configuration, location and amount of use of our telecommunications services and related billing information.

Smart City does not use CPNI as described in this Privacy Policy.

How We Collect Personal Information and Non-Personal Information

We collect Personal Information and Non-Personal Information as follows:

a) Prior to your use of certain Services, Smart City requires certain Personal Information and Non-Personal Information to enable features or functionality of those Services. Failure to provide all required information may prevent access to any or all of the Services. Inaccurate information may result in suspension or termination of access to any or all the Services.
b) Uploading and Downloading Materials. If you use the Services to upload or download materials, the materials may include meta-data or be transmitted with data, such as the type of device through which the materials were created, the device’s IP address, the domain name of your Internet service provider, GPS data, time-stamp data, and other such data. This data may necessarily be provided to and collected by Smart City when materials are uploaded, posted to or downloaded from the Services.
c) Information Collected Through Technology. Smart City collects Personal and Non-Personal Information about your use of the Services (e.g., your Internet browser, operating system, IP address, connection speed, and the domain name of your Internet service provider). Such information may be gathered by the following methods:
1. Cookies. Cookies (including browser cookies, session cookies, persistent cookies, flash cookies and other local shared objects) are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s or device’s hard drive which work by assigning to your computer or device a unique number that has no meaning outside of the Services. Cookies do not generally contain any Personal Information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually configure your browser to prevent this. Not accepting cookies may make certain features of the Services unavailable to, or not perform properly for, you. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, see //www.allaboutcookies.com/.
2. IP Address. Smart City collects IP addresses automatically. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer or device whenever you begin services with an Internet service provider. Each time you access the Services and each time you request one of Smart City’s pages, the server logs the IP address.
3. Web Beacons. Web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) are small pieces of data that are invisibly embedded in web pages and e-mails. Smart City may use these technical methods in HTML e-mails that Smart City sends to you to determine whether you have opened those e-mails and/or clicked on links in those e-mails, the volume of users who have visited those pages and other related website statistics. The information from use of these technical methods may be collected in a form that is Personal Information.
4. Tracking Materials Usage. If you use the Services and you upload or download materials, Smart City tracks and captures Personal Information and Non-Personal Information associated with registered accounts and the use of materials.
5. Location and Proximity Tracking. If you use the Services and your Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi and/or cellular carrier services are turned on, Smart City tracks and captures the location of your device using beacons, GPS and other physical location markers while you are on-site at a venue. This enables Smart City to provide a positive user experience, including mapping services, guides and directions to event activities.
6. Third Party Advertisers and Analytics. Information is collected directly from End-Users using Services and from Visitors navigating through the Services using technologies collecting browser and device information, details regarding use of the Services, IP addresses and information collected through cookies, web beacons and other technologies.
7. Third Party Sources. We use public databases, joint marketing partners, and social media platforms to collect Personal Information and Non-Personal Information. If a Visitor or End-User connects to his or her social media account for our Services, certain Personal Information from the social media account will be shared, which may include Personal Information that is part of the Visitor’s or End-User’s profile or his or her friends’ profiles. Please note that any such information posted or disclosed on the Services may be available to other Visitors, End-Users and to the general public. Anyone submitting Personal Information relating to other people to Smart City in connection with the Services represents that he or she has the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
d) Personal Information Directly From You. We collect Personal Information that a person provides when utilizing one of our Services, such as when an End-User registers to attend a meeting organized by a Customer, fills in a form on our Services, uses a chat function, purchase services or products, or downloads a mobile software application to the End-User’s iPhone, Android or other device, when receiving technical or customer account support, or responds to surveys.

You Have Choices About Our Use And Disclosure Of Your Information

You can limit your Personal Information and Non-Personal Information that we collect. In almost all cases, doing so will also limit the effectiveness, user-friendliness and/or availability of the Services you are trying to use. If you do wish to place limitations, here are some things you can do:

a) You can set your web browser to restrict or to entirely block cookies, to configure cookie notification settings and/or to delete cookies already present on the browser or device. Information on how to do this should be provided in the web browser’s help/reference section.

We will comply as soon as we reasonably can. Opting out does not mean that we will not be able to send you important administrative messages. If we need to get in touch with you for an administrative reason, we will do so.

We might also keep certain information for recordkeeping purposes, as required by law for a mandated retention period, to complete transactions and because our databases will retain some residual data.

Your State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain states, under certain provisions of relevant state law, have certain rights as it relates to how their Personal Information is handled. These are the “right to know,” the “right to delete,” and the “right to opt-out.”

(1) Right to Know. You may request us to provide you the specific pieces of Personal Information that we have about you, categories of Personal Information we have collected about you, categories of sources from which the Personal Information is collected, categories of Personal Information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose about you, categories of third parties to whom the Personal Information was sold or disclosed for a business purpose, and the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling Personal Information.

(2) Right to Delete. Some state law gives residents a limited right to request deletion of their Personal Information. However, this right is limited by a number of exceptions. Fundamentally, if we have a permissible need to retain Personal Information, we are not under an obligation to delete such information, even when requested. Generally, we retain Personal Information so we may complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, provide a good or service requested by you, or reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform a contract between us and you; detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or prosecute those responsible for that activity; debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality of our online properties; enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with your expectations based on your relationship with us; comply with a legal obligation; or otherwise use your Personal Information, internally, in a lawful manner that is compatible with the context in which your provided the information. As such, we generally do not accept requests to delete Personal Information. However, we will respond to requests to remove Personal Information from some of our systems as a part of a request to close or otherwise disable an account. If you would like to request deletion of Personal Information, please contact us via one of the methods noted below under “Exercising Privacy Rights.” If you do not have an account with us, we may ask for some Personal Information in order to verify your identity and your rights to the data subject to your request.

(3) Right to Opt-Out. While we do not sell your Personal Information to unaffiliated third parties in the traditional sense, some state laws define our advertising practices as “selling” personal information. Should you wish to opt out of our disclosure of your personal information for this kind of marketing, please contact us via one of the methods noted below under “Exercising Privacy Rights.” Additionally, you may use the opt-out methods described above in the “Opting Out” section of this policy.

(4) Designating an Authorized Agent. Some state law permits those state’s residents to designate an agent to manage their rights under state law. If you would like to designate an agent to manage your privacy preferences, you may do so using the mechanisms noted below under “Exercising Privacy Rights.” Note that if you do not have an account with us, we may ask for some Personal Information in order to verify your identity and your rights to the data subject to your request. We will also need sufficient Personal Information about your authorized agent to be able to identify them. As part of this process, you must have permission from your authorized agent to disclose their Personal Information to us for the purpose of acting as your agent.

(5) Non-discrimination. Some state’s law prohibits us from discrimination against you because you exercised any your rights under this title, including, but not limited to, by: denying you access to goods or services; charging different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties; providing a different level or quality of goods or services; or suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

(6) Exercising California privacy rights. If you are a resident of a state that provides you the above rights, and would like to exercise any of your rights, you may do so by contacting us as described below or via toll-free number 888-446-6911. Please be aware that we will need to have sufficient information to be able to verify your identity and the rights you have in the data subject to your request.
