Question 1

Can I prevent my data from being used to target ads to me on other websites, and how is this different from opting out of marketing emails?

Accepted Answer

Your browsing activity and profile information may be used to show you ads on third-party sites, even if you didn't consent to this specific use when signing up.

Question 2

What specific safeguards prevent backup data from being accessed before the 13-month deletion window closes?

Accepted Answer

Even after you request deletion, your information persists in backup systems for over a year, during which it could potentially be accessed or recovered.

Question 3

Am I clearly informed at the event that scanning my badge will share my information, or do I need to opt-in beforehand to prevent this sharing?

Accepted Answer

If your event badge is scanned by an exhibitor or sponsor, your contact information is automatically shared with that company without requiring explicit consent at the moment of scanning.
