Bay of Plenty Security Interest Group (BOPSIG) values your privacy.

What do we collect and why?

When you register for a BOPSIG event or join our mailing list we collect the following personal information from you:

  • First & Last Name,
  • Company (optional)
  • Email Address

We collect your personal information in order to:

  • Ensure the venue is suitably sized and setup for the number of attendees.
  • Provide the venue with a record of the attendees to meet their Health and Safety and COVID tracking obligations.
  • Produce a personalised name badge for the event (to make it easier for you to network).
  • Send you additional/updated event details.
  • Send you confirmation/reminders about the event you have registered for.

For those that (optionally) subscribe to our Mailing List we will also send you emails once or twice a month to inform you about upcoming BOPSIG/Cyber Security events in the region that may be of interest to you.

Who has access to my information?

Your name and email address used to register for an event may be shared with the venue hosting that event in order to meet their Health and Safety and COVID tracking obligations. This information will only be disclosed to the venue expressly for that purpose, and may not be used by the venue for any other purpose.

The information BOPSIG holds about you is not shared with presenters or any other third party (unless required under NZ law).

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected or removed. If you would like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected/removed, please contact us at [email protected]

How long is my information kept?

Newsletter information is kept indefinitely. If you wish to be removed, submit an unsubscribe request here.

To reduce the risk of exposure from a data breach, personal information held in the BOPSIG Event Database is purged of personal information at least every 12 months.

If BOPSIG ceases to operate then all information held by the group will be deleted.
