Question 1

If I attend an event and my badge is scanned at an exhibitor booth, exactly what information about me gets shared with that exhibitor, and can I prevent this after the fact?

Accepted Answer

When you attend a Cvent customer's event, your personal details can be disclosed to exhibitors or sponsors if you scan your badge or consent—sometimes without realizing the scope of what you're sharing with third parties.

Question 2

When Cvent uses matching algorithms to recommend me to other event attendees for networking, what specific data points drive those recommendations and how long is that data retained for this purpose?

Accepted Answer

Cvent may use your activity data, interactions, and preferences to train matching algorithms that recommend you to other attendees and suggest event content, without explicit notice about how your behavior influences these recommendations.

Question 3

If I'm in Europe and attend an event through Cvent, in which specific countries will my data be stored or processed, and what happens if a non-EU country requests my data for law enforcement reasons?

Accepted Answer

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, India, Australia, Singapore, and EEA countries as part of Cvent's normal operations, which means your data travels to jurisdictions with varying data protection standards.
