1. Who is CEIS?

CEIS is a société par actions simplifiée (simplified joint stock company) with a capital of €150,510, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Registry under number 414881821 and whose registered office is located at 17 Avenue Hoche, 75008 PARIS.
 
We are the data controller within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter "GDPR"), for the procedures and processing of personal data that are implemented on the occasion of the organization of the INCYBER Forum (FIC), as described below, and jointly responsible regarding the CORIIN events (see in specific case paragraph 10 below) and Trust & Safety Forum (see in specific case paragraph 11 below).
 
As such, we undertake to comply with the legal provisions in force and in particular to take all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy and relevance of personal data with regard to the purposes for which CEIS (hereinafter also "the Organizer") processes them.
 

2. Scope of application

This Policy covers all data processing related to the organization of the FIC event, as well as to :
- Specific events associated with the FIC ("associated events"), including the Cybersecurity For Industry, ID & KYC Forum, OSINT, CORIIN, Web3 Security Summit and Trust & Safety Forum. You can register for these events when you register for FIC;
- Post-FIC events organized by CEIS or co-organized with our partners (hereinafter referred to as "post-FIC events"), such as INCYBER news breakfasts, webinars, etc.
 
 

3. Purposes, types of personal data collected and legal basis for processing

We have produced a summary table listing, for each type of data, the legal basis on which it is collected and processed, the associated purpose, and the applicable retention period. This table can be found at the end of paragraph 4 of this policy.
 
Participation in the FIC, associated events and subsequent events is strictly reserved for :
- Professionals in the fields of cybersecurity, business intelligence, digital investigation and digital trust;
- Students, retirees and job seekers in these fields.
 
The personal data we collect on these occasions is used for the following purposes;
 
- Your registration data (surname, first name, contact details, email address, job title, company name and sector and business address if applicable, company's role in the cybersecurity ecosystem, fields and interests, purpose of visit, days of visit, country). This information will enable you to register for this FIC and related events, in particular CORIIN. Your FIC registration request, once accepted, enables the creation of your access badge and your personal space on the SWAPCARD tool. This personal space enables you to prepare your visit (agenda management, etc.) and to network with other participants. Your e-mail address is your account identifier. The legal basis for this processing is the contract governing your participation in our events and constituting the contractual conditions for your visit.
- Data from official documents used to verify your identity (identity card, etc.) and control access are collected in order to implement security measures on the premises. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in ensuring the security of the site, or in certain specific cases, the existence of a regulatory obligation.
- We collect your identity data and data relating to the management of reservations and payments (date of arrival, date of departure, date of payment, date of reservation, etc.) to enable the management of your hotel reservations (where applicable), the management of meal reservations in our partner restaurants (where applicable), as well as the management of the status of payments for these services. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is the performance of the contract. We also process this data for accounting purposes, in order to comply with our legal obligations.
- In the context of our partnerships with participating companies and sponsors of the FIC, we may also need to process your account data in order to carry out communication actions on their behalf, and in particular to invite you to an event organized by them during the FIC.  The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest.
 
 
- Your account and registration data are used to manage invitations to future professional events concerning cybersecurity, economic intelligence, digital investigation or digital confidence (subsequent events as described in paragraph 2 of this policy) that we or some of our partners will organize on similar themes and, more generally, to carry out any prospecting operations in connection with these themes (newsletters, publications) addressed to your professional contact details. The legal basis for processing your data for these purposes is our legitimate interest.
- If you are a student or retired, your account and registration data may be used to manage invitations to future events that we or some of our partners will organize in connection with the FIC, notably concerning cybersecurity, economic intelligence, digital investigation or digital trust, on the basis of your consent. CEIS will thus be able to invite you by e-mail to future events that we organize, similar to the FIC, and you will have the possibility of unsubscribing from this mailing list.
- Your contact details and areas of interest, for the purposes of managing our newsletters, on the basis of your legitimate interest if you are a professional and on the basis of your consent if you are a student or retired person.
- We process the data we collect when you register and take part in the FIC in order to produce statistics. These statistics are carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest, which is reflected in the need to manage our activity in order to improve our services.
- The recording of event logs to trace your activity (IP, date and time of connection, disconnection, etc.) for IT security purposes. This data processing is carried out on the legal basis of our legitimate interest in maintaining the cybersecurity of our information systems.
Please note: the information marked with an asterisk (*) on the various data collection forms we use is essential for processing your request.
Concerning the collection of personal data linked to your Internet browsing (cookies), we invite you to read our dedicated cookie management policy.

At the end of this period, your data is anonymized. It may be rendered anonymous if, in the meantime, you request the deletion of your online account.
- Identity data required to control access to the event will be deleted immediately after the event.
- Data relating to the management of reservations and payments (date of arrival, date of departure, date of payment, date of reservation, etc.) will be kept for the duration of the contract in the active database and in intermediate archiving for five years for the purposes of processing transaction disputes and claims, and for ten years for the management of our accounting obligations.
