Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address or contact details (“personal information”) then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
The term “process” means any activity relating to personal information, including, by way of example, collection, storage, use, consultation and transmission.
FCBI is the data controller of your personal information.
This means that we make decisions about how and why we process your personal information, and, because of this, we are responsible for making sure it is used in accordance with data protection laws.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and personalised experience while using our services.
We collect different types of personal information about you when you visit our website, purchase something from us or otherwise communicate or engage with us. We also obtain some personal information from other sources and create some personal information ourselves.
If you wish to book a pass to our events, in order to fulfil your booking and let you know of any future events that may be of interest to you, we may ask you to provide us with your contact information, as well as your demographic information and areas of professional interests.

Third party organisations from whom you have recently engaged with or bought a product from sometimes provide us with your personal information such as your name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth and gender. We may use this information to contact you about our products and services that we think you would find useful.
We collect your personal information such as your name and email address to periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting where you have consented to receive such emails.
