We take privacy and security very seriously, and that’s why we’ve updated our policy regarding the way we use your data. We’ve been reviewing the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA of 2019 (Central Consumer Protection Authority) to ensure that we’re compliant with it, and now that the regulation has gone into effect on July 20th, 2022, we’ve updated our policies accordingly.

If you have any questions about how this will affect you or how we handle your personal information, please contact us at support@metaexpo.com.

What are your data protection rights?

• You have the right to access the personal data we hold on you. You may request a copy of your personal data that we hold at any time by contacting us using one of our contact methods below. We will provide this information within 30 days, unless there is an exceptional reason for us not being able to fulfill your request in which case we will inform you within 60 days as to when we expect to be able to provide this information.
• You have the right to request correction of your personal data if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
• You have the right to request erasure of your personal data where: – there are no legitimate grounds for processing; or  – consent has been withdrawn; or  – your information was collected in relation to processing activities based on a contract with you; or  – we no longer need it for its original purposes (for example because they have been fulfilled).

Information we collect

We may collect the following information:

• Your name, e-mail address, phone number and home address;
• Other contact information that you provide when placing an order on our site and Meta Expo Platform;
• Credit card information if you make purchases through our online platforms;
• Information that you provide us such as feedback or comments (please note that we will not share this with any third party unless required by law or order);

We use your personal information to process your order and deliver the services ordered. We also use it in order to improve our website, services and marketing.

How we use your information

When you provide us with information about yourself, we use that information for the following reasons:

• To provide you with the services requested.
• To improve our services and develop new ones.
• To communicate with you. This could be in the form of emails, texts, phone calls or letters (we call these “marketing communications”). We use your contact details to send you information about our products or services that may be of interest to you by post, telephone or email; unless stated otherwise at the point of entry into this competition/promotion/event we will not sell your details to any third party without your prior consent. If at any time before receiving marketing communications from us in future years, if there is ever anything we have done which has caused offence or distress then please get in touch with [contact@metaexpo.com]. After 5th July 2022 we aim only to send emails that are directly relevant to what people have signed up for – so they will no longer receive general announcements but may still receive some updates across different projects such as news about exhibitions and events etc., depending on their preferences set out when filling out a form on one particular project page (for example).

Your Log Files

• We collect information about the users’ device and browser. This information includes:
• The IP address of each user’s device
• The operating system of each user’s device (e.g., Windows, Mac, Android, iOS)
• The browser type of each user’s device (e.g., Chrome, Safari)

In general, we do not link any personal data that we collect from you with your IP address. However, if you enter into an agreement with us (for example by purchasing tickets), then we may link your personal details with your purchase history so that we can provide you with accurate and up-to-date customer service information relating to ticket purchases made on our behalf through third party online stores (“our partners”).

CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our customers. We understand that you may be concerned about the way in which your information is used, and we respect your right to make informed choices about what happens with your personal data.

It will regulate matters related to violation of consumer rights, unfair trade practices, and misleading advertisements.

You also have a right not to be subject to automated decision making including profiling unless these decisions are necessary for entering into or performing a contract with you; or necessary for legal compliance purposes (under GDPR Law).

Cookies and Caches

We use cookies and caches to track your activity on our site. Cookies are small files that store information about your browsing activity, such as the pages you visit, the searches you make and new features that may interest you. We also use them to monitor traffic across our sites, so we can see where users are coming from and how they move through our content.

Caches are similar to cookies but act as a temporary storage space for meta data on your computer or device. You may not notice this happening when browsing the web because it happens automatically in the background without interrupting any other processes or functions on your computer or device.

What cookies do we use?

To help us improve your experience and to help us send you relevant content, we collect data on the way you use our website, platform, product and services. This includes:

• Your device information, such as IP address, browser type and operating system version.
• Your location details (as entered and as collected from GPS) when you visit our website or use our Metaverse platform or shop from us.
• Which pages or components of Meta Expo you have viewed (including which page/component was visited first).

We also use cookies to collect data about how users interact with our platform, marketing communications, social media channels and other websites.

How we manage your cookies

Cookies are small files that a website places on your device, which are used to help remember you when you return to the site. They can also be used to track your movements around the site. Cookies may contain information about how you use our website, such as your user ID or how many times you have visited this page. They collect information in an anonymous form and help us improve our websites by delivering content based on what they think might be interesting for users. Cookies that you have blocked or cleared are not stored with us and we do not try to salvage it either.

Cookies do not store personal data and cannot read other cookies, so they cannot be used to gain access to any personal information stored on your computer or device, except for the temporary duration of their existence (usually until the end of their browser session).

If you have any questions about the advertising partners’ privacy or security practices please contact us immediately at hello@metaexpo.com

Third Party Privacy Policies

Meta Expo is not responsible for the privacy policies of third parties, nor do we make any representations about those parties. If you provide information to a third party, you are subject to that third party’s terms and conditions. We encourage you to review the terms and conditions of these other websites before providing them with any information.

Access to information

• You have the right to access your personal data.
• You can ask us to correct any information we hold about you.
• If we refuse to correct your personal data, you have the right to ask us to delete it instead.
• If you want us not to use your personal data for our own purposes (for example, for marketing or research purposes), you can also ask for this restriction of processing by contacting us via email at privacy@metaexpo.org

Consent

Consent is a key part of both the GDPR and CCPA. It is required for the use of personal data, but it should be specific, informed and freely given. Consent should not be a one-time thing; you need to keep asking for it again from time to time. Also, it can be withdrawn at any time.

Consent for processing data should be separate from other consents that may apply to your business or website (for example if you want someone to subscribe to an email newsletter). In such cases, consent must always be given explicitly by people who can give it.

The person who has provided consent needs to understand what they are agreeing too; how long their consent will last; what sort of information will be collected and used; who else might access this information. We will ask for your consent from time to time, depending on which of our services and products you use. We may collect your consent on the platform you are using, on our site, or even via email and other means of communication like SMS, Instant Messaging Apps, and more.

We only collect your data if you agree to it.

If we collect your personal information, we will always ask for your consent before collecting it. We will also tell you what data we are collecting and why. If you do not agree to give us the information we require, then we cannot provide the service or product that you want to use.

We may collect certain types of data when you visit our website:

• Basic information about who visits our site (e.g., time and duration of visit, pages viewed);
• Information on how visitors navigate around our site and interact with it;
• Details of what visitors do after they leave our site (e.g., whether they return later).

Change is coming to the way companies are able to use your personal data.

You have the right to know what data is being collected about you, who is collecting your data, why your data is being collected, how your data will be used and any update or changes in data policy. These rights are known as the “GDPR Rights (EU)” and “CCPA Rights”, and they are applicable from 20 July 2022 onwards.

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of India is coming and it’s going to change the way companies use your personal data. This is great news!

We are always there for you.

We want to be upfront about the changes in legislation and how they will impact you. We will do everything we can to protect your data, but we need your help as well. If you have any questions about this policy or our use of your personal information, please contact us at support@metaexpo.com.
