What information we collect
V11 collects data about you that is limited to professional information we need to supply our services. For example, we usually collect: first name, last name, job title, employer/company name, work address, work email, and work phone number. In some cases, we may ask you to provide additional professional information such as the size of the company you work for, industry type, and other information regarding company IT installed base or IT needs.
To enhance and/or update the information that you have provided to us, we may combine it with professional information or personal data that we collect from third party sources. The personal data that we refer to in this document is the personal and professional information you provide, as well as information that we obtain from third party sources, both of which we typically combine as one user record.
This site also collects and stores certain information automatically using cookies and similar technologies, including IP addresses, the region or general location of a computer or device accessing the internet, browser type, operating system, page view history, and other usage information. See our Cookie Policy for further details.
How we collect it
We may collect your personal data when you register to receive any of the products, content or services offered by V11 or its third-party sponsors (“sponsors”) such as publications, subscriptions, contests, newsletters, memberships, premium content, webcasts, video, white papers, online seminars, conferences and events, bundles and offers from V11 and from sponsors, trials, matching with possible business counterparts.
What happens if you don’t provide personal data?
In order for us to provide the products, content or services you request, we need your personal data. You will be required to specifically opt-in for services, in order to allow us to provide them to you. We will minimize the amount of information required to that the specific service will require. For instance, you might be required to give us consent to have and use your business references to register to an event, webinar, conference and/or to receive events related information and registration confirmation. You might ask us to receive our newsletter and thus we will require your email address and the consent to deliver the newsletter through it. If you are asking to get in touch with some of our Sponsors, you will be required to opt in for sharing the information you gave us to that Sponsor. If you do not provide the personal data and the privacy opt in connected to a specific service, we will not be able to provide that service to you.
How do we safeguard your personal data?
Security of your personal data
V11 maintains safeguards which include technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized use, access, inadvertent disclosure, alteration, and destruction, and we require the third parties we contract with to support V11’s business operations to employ reasonable security measures as well (see “When and how we share your information with others” below).
We update and test security on an ongoing basis and restrict access to your personal data to only those who need to know in order to provide V11’s products, content or services to you.
Storage of your personal data
We may store your personal data using V11’s own secure on-site servers or other internally hosted technology. Your personal data may also be stored by third parties, via cloud services or other technology, to whom V11 has contracted with, to support V11’s business operations (see “When and how we share your information with others” below).
These third parties do not use or have access to your personal data other than for cloud storage and retrieval, and V11 requires such parties to employ at least the same level of security that we use to protect your personal data (see “Security of your personal data” above).
What we do with the personal data we collect
We use the personal data that we collect to communicate with you, deliver what you request, improve our service, and to present other information and offers that may be of interest.

To present offers that may be of interest to you
We may contact you to offer you additional V11 or third-party products, content or services that may be of interest to you.
The legal basis we have for processing your personal data
The GDPR requires data collectors, such as V11, to have a legal basis to use the personal data of EU residents. Therefore, this section shall apply to any such personal data collected by V11.
V11 uses the personal data that you provide to supply you with high-quality products, content and services as you request, to send important notices, and for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research to provide you with the information you need to make the most informed technology purchasing decisions.
We may also use your personal data to offer you products, content or services that may be of interest to you, based upon your interests or the preferences you shared with us, and may share your personal data with third party sponsors of content, events, and other services or offers.
The legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. In certain circumstances we may otherwise process your personal data if V11 has a legitimate interest in doing so and V11 is not infringing any of your rights and freedoms.
When V11 processes your personal data for V11’s legitimate interests, V11 will consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not override your interests. V11 will not use your personal data in circumstances where your rights and freedoms override our legitimate interests, unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law.
When and how we share your personal data with others
V11 may share your personal data to deliver content and services from our sites, affiliated companies and third parties services that might interest you, including sponsored content and events, for business operations, and to comply with valid legal processes.

For business operations
We may also share your personal data with third parties we have contracted with to support V11’s business operations including delivery, fulfilment, payment processing, email deployment, suppression list management and data processing.
For third party sponsored content and events
V11 partners with third party sponsors to make available a large library of content to our users, such as white papers, professional events (live or online), as well as other services or offers. In return for access to such offers, we may ask you to provide us with personal data as part of the registration.
We may use your personal data to send you the offer you request. In addition, your personal data may be shared with the sponsor(s) of the offer to communicate with you regarding the offer, as well as additional products, content or services that may be of interest to you. Please note that once your personal data is shared with the sponsor, the sponsor’s privacy policy, including information on how to opt-out in the future, will apply to your personal data.
As required by law
Your personal data may be shared when authorized by law or necessary to comply with a valid legal process.

If part or all the ownership of V11 or any of its products or services are sold or transferred, your personal data will be transferred to the new owner.
International Data Transfers
This section shall apply to any personal data collected by V11 from EU residents.
If V11 shares your personal data within the V11 network or with any other third party as described in this privacy policy and your personal data will be transferred to a State which is not a Member State of either the European Union or the EEA, or deemed adequate by the European Commission, V11 (as a data controller/data exporter) will only conduct such transfer (to a data processor/data importer) if there are suitable safeguards in place, such as binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses, approved Codes of Conduct, or approved certification mechanism. For more information, please contact V11’s Data Protection Officer (See contact details below).

We retain your personal data for the duration of your business relationship with us, and we hold your information only as long as necessary for each purpose we use it, unless we have obtained your consent to use for another or similar purpose.
