This Privacy Policy (the "Policy")
describes how SNAC International ("SNAC", "we",
"our" or "us") uses the information we

and the website for our trade show, SNAXPO,

together, the "Site") or when
you contact us using the details available on it.
The Site may enable you to visit other
websites which are owned and operated by affiliates or partner companies to
SNAC, for example our members or event pages. Those other websites will have
their own privacy policies, and you should review those privacy policies when
you visit websites operated by other companies, as the operators of those sites

In some circumstances, for example if you wish to become a member of SNAC
International or if you wish to attend our trade show, SNAXPO, it may be
necessary for you to provide some of this personal information in order for us
to fulfil our obligations to you under the Terms and Conditions of the
particular service.

•
Your name and registration details for
events such as SNAXPO, if someone other than you within your organisation

How long do we retain personal information?
We keep your personal information for as
long as we need it to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it (described

Comply with record retention requirements under the law;
•
Defend or bring any existing or potential legal claims; and

attendee experience for events including SNAXPO, or to respond to any queries
you may have;
•
to advertise our services and events. For
example, if you are exhibiting or speaking at an event, we may use your

that we can improve it.
We use your personal information for these
purposes in some cases to meet our contractual obligations to you or other

legal or contractual obligation, we process it to meet our legitimate business
interests in managing SNAC properly and effectively, managing and contacting
our members, and in keeping our records accurate and up to date. We take steps,
