privacy policy
This Privacy Policy describes the current policies and practices of Daniel's Group of
Companies, Inc. d/b/a Meetings & Incentives ("M&I") with regard to Personal Data.
"Personal Data" refers to personally identifiable information about you (such as your full
name, birth date, e-mail address or mailing address, phone number and any other
information that can be used to identify or contact you) collected and used by M&I
through its website, www.meetings-incentives.com (the "M&I Website" or "Website")
and/or collected by M&I's business partners and used by M&I, and/or collected by M&I
via email, telephone, or facsimile and stored by M&I's business partners.
This Privacy Policy is periodically updated. Please check back on a regular basis for
any changes.
Personal Data Collected. The only Personal Data M&I currently collects is the
Personal Data that is voluntarily provided to M&I by users of M&I's services. For
example, the M&I website allows you to send us an email with any questions you may
have. If you choose to do that, M&I will then have your email address and any other
information you include in your email. You may also enter Personal Data, such as
name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card or other billing
information, travel plans or passport number, into a registration form to register for a
meeting or other event being coordinated by M&I. When you enter Personal Data into
such a registration form, that data is collected and stored by one of M&I's business
partners, who will treat your Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You
may also provide M&I with Personal Data when you request over the telephone or via
email or facsimile that M&I provide services for you such as meeting registration or hotel
reservation, or when you fill out a customer satisfaction survey.
Non-Personal Data Collected. Other data that does not qualify as Personal Data
because it cannot be used to contact or identify you ("Non-Personal Data") may also be
automatically collected. For example, M&I and its business partners may use
technology to automatically collect Non-Personal Data about the use of the M&I
Website or a particular event registration website. This technology is used to track how
many users access the websites, the date and time of their visits, the length of their
stays, and which pages they view. We may also use technology to determine which
web browsers users use and the address from which they accessed the websites. The
information collected using this technology does not identify any user personally and is
thus all Non-Personal Data that simply enables M&I and its business partners to
compile statistics about users and their use of the websites. We use this Non-Personal
Data and may share it with third parties to improve the content and functionality of the
Privacy Policy
websites, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products
and services.
Cookies. We may store certain information from your web browser using "cookies." A
cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the
user. We may use session-ID cookies to confirm that registered users are logged in.
These cookies would terminate once the user closes the web browser. We may also
use persistent cookies that store certain Personal Data you already provided to us to
make it easier for you to log back in to a particular event registration website. Cookies
are used as a convenience feature for the user. You can remove or block cookies using
the settings in your browser if you want to disable them.
Use of Personal Data Collected. M&I uses the Personal Data collected on the M&I
Website to provide you with the requested services or products. If you request
additional information on M&I's services, for example, M&I will use your Personal Data
to contact you and provide the additional information you requested. M&I will also use
your Personal Data to coordinate your attendance at an event for which you filled out a
registration form. Depending on the particular e vent, we may use your Personal Data to
book hotel rooms and transportation for you, and for any other purpose related to your
registration for the event.
M&I and its business partners may also use your Personal Data to contact you for a
variety of reasons, such as but not limited to notifying you about upcoming events,
offering you additional products or services, or requesting your feedback on our
products or services.
Disclosure of Personal Data Collected. M&I may disclose Personal Data to third
parties under certain circumstances. M&I may disclose Personal Data to third parties if
a user has requested that M&I do so, or if it is necessary to provide you with the
services you requested. Your Personal Data may need to be disclosed to a hotel or
transportation services provider, for example, if you request that M&I make hotel or
transportation reservations for you in connection with your event. Your Personal Data
will also be disclosed to the owner of your meeting or event. For example, if your
employer has hired M&I to coordinate its meeting or event, the Personal Data you enter
will be disclosed to your employer. M&I does not control how the owner of the meeting
or event uses your Personal Data.
M&I may also disclose Personal Data to its affiliates, contractors and business partners,
who will use the Personal Data in compliance with this Privacy Policy. If M&I is
Privacy Policy
acquired by or merged into another entity, or all or a portion of M&I's assets are sold or
otherwise transferred to another entity, M&I may disclose Personal Data to that entity.
M&I may also disclose Personal Data if required or authorized to do so by law or an
industry reporting authority.
Security Measures. M&I takes reasonable precautions to safeguard personal data
from loss, misuse, tampering, destruction and unauthorized access. Precautions
include password protection for on-line information systems, restricted access to certain
paper records, and other technical measures implemented by M&I's information
technology department. While such security measures provide reasonable protections
against unauthorized access, they provide no guarantee that your Personal Data will not
be compromised.
Access. At your request, M&I will allow you to access or review your Personal Data
and correct any errors. You may be required to provide identifying information and/or
answer some security questions to verify your identity. M&I may charge a reasonable
fee for access to your Personal Data.
Choice. M&I allows you to choose not to have your Personal Data disclosed to third
parties or used for a purpose incompatible with the purpose for which it was originally
collected. If you do not want your Personal Data disclosed to third parties or used for
purposes other than providing you with the services you requested, you may contact
David Guse, 262-835-3553 or email (dguse@meetings-incentives.com). Please keep in
mind, however, that we may not be able to provide you with the services you requested
if we cannot disclose your Personal Data to third parties.
Data Integrity. M&I only collects, uses and discloses Personal Data that is relevant for
its intended uses, and takes reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is reliable
for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Links to Other Website. This Privacy Policy applies only to Personal Data, as defined
above. The M&I Website or the event and meeting registration websites you use may
contain hyperlinks to websites that are not operated or controlled by M&I. These
hyperlinks are provided for your reference and convenience only and do not imply any
endorsement of the activities of these third-party websites or any association with their
operators. M&I does not control these websites and is not responsible for their data
practices. We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on any website you visit,
including those of our business partners and meeting/event owners, before using the
website or providing any Personal Data about yourself.
