What personal information do you collect?
Personal information is any information or opinion in any form, whether true or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

If you are a workshop attendee we may collect your name, address, email address, telephone contact number, date of birth, employment details and professional association registration number. If you do not provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with services to do business with you or the organisation with whom you are connected.
We rely on the personal information we hold about you to efficiently conduct our business of providing products and services. For this reason, it is very important that the personal information we collect from you is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
