The information that we may collect from or about you broadly falls into the following categories:

We Collect Personal Information and Other Information that You Submit

Personal Information. You can visit and use the Site without providing us with your personal information, but you will be required to provide personal information in order to register for a ICON event and to use certain other features of the Site. We will collect any personal information from or about you that you choose to provide to us, which may include your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, and payment information. For instance, you must provide personal information to ICON when you sign up for our newsletter, when you submit payment for ICON event registrations, and when you respond to communications from us (e.g., surveys, registration confirmations). We will use collected personal information as described below, including to process your event registrations and to provide you with information and communications that you request or that we believe are relevant or may be of interest to you, in each case subject to applicable laws and the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you provide your mobile or other telephone number to us, you consent to receiving telephone calls from us at that telephone number as described below.

Event Registration; Payment Information. Information required for event registration may vary by event and will be disclosed at the point of registration. Required fields may include, in addition to the personal information listed above, your title and the organization with which you are affiliated. Event registration fees must be paid by credit or debit card. All credit and debit card information is provided directly to our PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. ICON does not directly access, handle, or store your credit or debit card information. To pay registration fees through the Site, you will need to submit your name and your credit or debit card number, expiration date, security code, billing address, and phone number. Payment by credit or debit card is subject to the approval of the card issuer. We will not be liable in any way if a card issuer refuses

to accept a credit or debit card for any reason. We will maintain a record of the payments that you make using the Site.

Mailing List Information. If you sign up or otherwise opt in to receive newsletters or promotions from us, you will need to submit your email address. We will use this information to provide you with promotional and other electronic communications. You may opt out of receiving promotional emails from us at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the applicable email.

You may choose to allow us to access your location by granting the Site access to your location when prompted or through your device’s location services settings.
