Your information will never be supplied to anyone outside Octopus Events without first obtaining your consent, unless we are obliged or permitted by law to disclose it.
Data Protection – How long we will hold your data for
If you are a client, or prospective client with an enquiry, we will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as you use our services and remove it in the event that the purpose has been met.
If you are a guest attending an event that is being delivered by Octopus Events, all data stored will be destroyed within 6 months of the delivery of the event.
Octopus Events is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office in the UK as a “data controller” in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. Further details of the registration are available at www.ico.org.uk
