Though we make every effort to preserve users' privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

Sharing Personal Information

We share personal information with those parties who exhibit on our site. If you have entered the site via an advertisement on one of our affiliate web sites, in some cases we may share your personal information with the owners of that site. When users tick keyword preferences during the registration process, we share names, company names and addresses, job titles, email addresses, telephone numbers, market sectors and size of businesses with exhibitors that have requested those keywords. We will give hall sponsors your details if you have visited the hall they have sponsored during your time on the site, and a site sponsor will receive the details of everyone who registers on the site. We may also share your personal information with non-related parties (i.e. companies other than MiningWorld Events, ITE Group plc and MiningWorld Russia exhibitors) who we believe may have related products or services of interest to you. This is so that they can contact you about these products and services as well as contact you about offers, promotions and marketing materials unless the user has chosen to opt-out of receiving information from non-related parties when registering for the online exhibition. Users' profiles are shared with such non-related parties together with personally identifiable information.

If, as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our Notification of Changes section below.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Contact information will be shared with the contest/survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes. Anonymous survey information will be used for the purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this website.

If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our website, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. MiningWorld Events Team and ITE Group plc partners will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site.

Security

Miningworld-russia.com takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit information via Miningworld-russia.com, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration form asks users to enter information, that information is encrypted and is protected with one of the best encryption software packages in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to unlocked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'. To learn more about SSL, follow this link http://www.thawte.com

While we use SSL encryption to protect information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. When new policies are added, our employees are notified and reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users' information is protected. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are in a locked facility within a secure environment.

Log Files

Like most standard website servers, we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyse trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)

Clear gifs may be used in our emails to help us identify the way in which users respond to our emails. This information can help us to tailor our emails to be more relevant and appropriate to users in the future.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.

Communications from the Site

Special Offers and Updates

We send all new users a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established users will occasionally receive information on products and services via post, fax, email and telephone. You have the opportunity to choose your preferred method of communication during the registration process. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive certain types of communications. Please email clientservices@miningworld-events.com to inform us if you do not wish to be contactable via post, fax, email or telephone.

Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal Information

If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as phone, email or postal address), or if a user no longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or delete/deactivate users' personally identifiable information. This can be done by emailing clientservices@miningworld-events.com

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy policy, the homepage, and any other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. If users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our website notifying users of the change.

Client Services

We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and with regards to issues relating to their account via post, fax email or telephone, in accordance with the users wishes.
