This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information through the website we own and operate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cec-icmc.org\">cec-icmc.org<\/a> (the \u201cSite\u201d). This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site and related conference registration activities conducted through the Site.<\/p>\n<p>By using the Site, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Where consent is required for a particular collection, use, or disclosure of personal information, we will seek that consent as appropriate. Your use of the Site alone does not constitute consent to optional sharing of your registration information with exhibitors or other conference organizers.<\/p>\n<p>CEC\/ICMC is based in the United States. If you access the Site from another country, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those countries may differ from those in your country. We handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Information We Collect<\/h2>\n<p>We collect personal information and technical information about visitors to the Site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonal Information\u201d means information that identifies or can reasonably be associated with an individual, such as a name, email address, telephone number, institutional affiliation, or other information associated with that individual.<\/p>\n<p>When you browse the Site, we may automatically collect technical information about your visit, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, the date and time of access, the pages you visit, and the website address from which you reached our Site. Depending on the circumstances, some of this information may be considered personal information under applicable law.<\/p>\n<p>If you register for a conference, subscribe to a mailing list, or otherwise provide information to us, we collect the information you submit and use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and in connection with the activity for which you provided it.<\/p>\n<p>You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law and any legitimate need to retain the information.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Use Your Information<\/h2>\n<p>We may use personal information to process conference registrations, communicate with you about your registration and participation, respond to inquiries, provide requested services, send CEC\/ICMC conference announcements and other communications where permitted, and administer our conferences and related activities.<\/p>\n<p>We may use technical information to understand how visitors use the Site, monitor Site performance, maintain security, troubleshoot technical issues, improve functionality and usability, and better understand our visitors&#8217; needs.<\/p>\n<p>We may use cookies and third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our Site. These tools may collect information such as the number of visitors, pages visited, approximate geographic location, and the website or source from which visitors arrived. We use this information to evaluate Site usage and improve the visitor experience. The information collected depends on the tools and settings in use.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Share and Disclose Information<\/h2>\n<p>We understand the importance of protecting your personal information. Your choices during conference registration determine whether your contact information may be shared with participating exhibitors, organizers of other conferences, or included in the post-conference attendee list. These are separate choices.<\/p>\n<h3>Sharing Information with Other Conferences and Events<\/h3>\n<p>During conference registration, you may choose whether to authorize CEC\/ICMC to share your contact information with organizers of other conferences or events covering similar scientific topics, such as the Applied Superconductivity Conference (ASC), European Conference on Applied Superconductivity (EUCAS), Magnet Technology Conference (MT), and IEEE Council on Superconductivity (IEEE CSC).<\/p>\n<p>If you authorize this sharing, the recipient organizations may use your information to communicate with you about their own conferences and events, including conference news, announcements, and registration opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Only attendees who affirmatively authorize this sharing will have their contact information provided to these organizations. Choosing not to participate in this sharing does not affect necessary administrative communications from CEC\/ICMC about your own registration or conference participation.<\/p>\n<p>This permission is separate from your choices regarding sharing information with exhibitors and inclusion in the post-conference attendee list.<\/p>\n<h3>Information Provided to Exhibitors<\/h3>\n<p class=\"x12ofw9d\">During conference registration, you may choose whether to authorize CEC\/ICMC to share your contact information with participating exhibitors so they can follow up with you about their products, services, booth locations, hosted events, and other offerings relevant to the conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x12ofw9d\">An attendee contact list may be provided by email in Excel format to registered exhibitors before the conference. A post-conference attendee contact list may also be provided upon request.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x12ofw9d\">Only attendees who authorize sharing with exhibitors will be included in these lists. This preference is separate from your choices regarding sharing information with other conference organizers and inclusion in the post-conference attendee list.<\/p>\n<h3>Post-Conference Attendee List<\/h3>\n<p>During registration, attendees may choose whether and how their information is included in the post-conference attendee list. The list may be made available as a password-protected PDF on the CEC\/ICMC website for a limited time after the conference. An attendee&#8217;s selection determines whether their information is included and, if so, what information is displayed.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Disclosures<\/h3>\n<p>We may disclose personal information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to respond to valid legal process, protect the rights or property of CEC\/ICMC or others, address security or safety concerns, or comply with applicable legal obligations.<\/p>\n<p>If CEC\/ICMC undergoes a reorganization, merger, acquisition, or transfer of relevant assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.<\/p>\n<h2>Opt-Out and Communication Preferences<\/h2>\n<p>You may choose whether to receive optional CEC\/ICMC promotional communications where a choice is offered. You can also unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in those messages or by contacting us at <a href=\"mailto:cecicmc@centennialconferences.com\"><strong>cecicmc@centennialconferences.com<\/strong><\/a>. Please allow up to 10 days for an opt-out request to be processed.<\/p>\n<p>We may continue to send necessary administrative communications relating to your registration, payments, conference participation, or other requested services, even if you unsubscribe from promotional emails.<\/p>\n<p>Your preferences for receiving CEC\/ICMC promotional communications are separate from your registration choices concerning sharing information with exhibitors, sharing information with other conference organizers, and inclusion in the post-conference attendee list.<\/p>\n<p>If your information has already been provided to a third party in accordance with your previous preferences, you may need to contact that third party directly to stop receiving its communications. We will update our own records and future disclosures as appropriate, subject to applicable law.<\/p>\n<p>You may contact us at any time with questions about your information or to request access, correction, or deletion, subject to applicable law and any legitimate retention requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>Security and Data Retention<\/h2>\n<p>We use administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.<\/p>\n<p>If a security incident involving personal information occurs, we will provide notifications as required by applicable law.<\/p>\n<p>We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including administering conferences, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is used. We will dispose of or de-identify information when it is no longer needed, subject to applicable law.<\/p>\n<h2>Third-Party Links and Services<\/h2>\n<p>The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not govern the privacy practices of those third parties. We do not control their information collection or privacy practices. Please review the privacy notices of third-party websites or services before submitting personal information to them.<\/p>\n<h2>Changes to This Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n<p>We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on the Site and update the effective date where appropriate. If we make a material change to how we use or disclose personal information, we will provide any notice or obtain any consent required by applicable law.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us<\/h2>\n<p>If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the handling of your personal information, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:cecicmc@centennialconferences.com\"><strong>cecicmc@centennialconferences.com<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cryogenic Engineering Conference (CEC) and the International Cryogenic Materials Conference (ICMC), referred to in this Privacy Policy as \u201cCEC\/ICMC,\u201d \u201cwe,\u201d or \u201cus,\u201d respect your privacy.
