American British Global Meetings & Events, LLC (“ABG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, retain, and disclose personal information when you visit www.abgmeetingsevents.com, contact us, request services, register for an event, or otherwise interact with ABG.

​

1. Information We Collect

• Technical information, including IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and general website-use information.

• Information you voluntarily provide through forms, consultations, event registrations, or other communications.
   

Please do not provide sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for a requested service.
 

2. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide requested information.

• Develop proposals and manage client relationships.

• Plan, coordinate, and deliver meetings, events, travel, and related services.

• Process event registrations, reservations, payments, and requests.

• Communicate important event, service, or account information.

• Send marketing communications when permitted by law or with your consent.

• Improve our website, services, operations, and client experience.

• Protect our systems, clients, attendees, and business from fraud or misuse.

• Maintain business and financial records.

• Comply with contractual, legal, regulatory, and safety requirements.
   

We do not use personal information for purposes that are materially different from those described in this Policy without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent when required.
 

3. No Sale, Behavioral Advertising, or Unauthorized Sharing

ABG does not sell personal information.
 

ABG does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
 

We do not permit third parties to use personal information collected through our website to build profiles about individuals for advertising across unrelated websites, applications, or services.
 

ABG may disclose limited personal information to trusted service providers or event partners only when reasonably necessary to deliver requested services, operate our business, comply with the law, or protect legal rights. These parties may include hotels, venues, transportation providers, registration platforms, payment processors, technology providers, caterers, production vendors, and other suppliers involved in an event or travel program.
 

Such parties are expected to use the information only for the authorized purpose and to protect it appropriately. ABG does not authorize these parties to sell the information or use it for their independent behavioral advertising.

We may also disclose information:

• At your request or with your consent.

• To comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process.

• To investigate fraud, security incidents, or potential violations of our agreements.

• To protect the rights, safety, and property of ABG, our clients, attendees, or others.

• As part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
   

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, performance measurement, and user preferences.
 

ABG does not use cookies or tracking technologies to sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where required by law, nonessential cookies will not be activated without your consent.
 

You may manage cookies through your browser settings or any cookie-consent tool provided on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality. ​
 

5. Marketing Communications

You may unsubscribe from ABG marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or contacting us directly. You may continue to receive nonpromotional communications relating to active inquiries, contracts, registrations, transactions, or events.
 

6. Data Security

ABG uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
 

No system or transmission method is completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable measures to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
 

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, provide requested services, satisfy contractual requirements, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal, accounting, tax, and regulatory obligations.
 

When information is no longer required, we will delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable law and legitimate record-retention requirements.
 

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process your personal information.

• Request access to or a copy of your personal information.

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of personal information.

• Request restriction of certain processing.

• Object to certain uses of personal information.

• Request portability of eligible personal information.

• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or qualifying profiling.

• Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, where applicable.

• Lodge a complaint with an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority.
   

Because ABG does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, we do not offer a separate “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism unless required by applicable law or our practices change.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your information before processing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, subject to appropriate verification.
 

9. GDPR and UK GDPR Provisions

If you are located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom, ABG processes your personal data only when it has an appropriate legal basis, including:

• Contractual necessity: To provide services you request or take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

• Consent: When you have affirmatively agreed to specific processing and may withdraw that consent.

• Legitimate interests: To operate and improve our business, communicate with clients, maintain security, prevent fraud, and deliver professional services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.

• Legal obligation: To comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

• Vital interests: When processing is necessary to protect someone’s health or safety.
   

Where ABG relies on legitimate interests, you may request information about the relevant interest and object to the processing. You have an unconditional right to object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing.

​

Your applicable rights may include access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, and withdrawal of consent. You may also lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in the country where you live or work or where you believe a violation occurred.

​

ABG does not engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning individuals.
 

International Data Transfers

 

ABG is based in the United States. If you provide personal data from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

When required, ABG will use an approved transfer mechanism or other appropriate safeguard, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the applicable UK transfer addendum or agreement, an adequacy decision, or another legally recognized mechanism.
 

10. U.S. State Privacy Disclosures

 

Residents of states with comprehensive consumer-privacy laws may have additional rights concerning their personal information, subject to the scope, applicability, and exceptions of those laws.

​

ABG does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or process it for targeted advertising as those terms are defined under applicable state laws.

​

ABG does not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than providing requested services, complying with the law, protecting safety and security, or other purposes permitted without a right to limit.
 

11. Children’s Privacy

 

Our website and general services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website without appropriate parental consent.

​

Information about minors participating in an event should be submitted only by a parent, legal guardian, or properly authorized event organizer. If we learn that personal information was collected from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
 

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

 

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by hotels, venues, travel providers, payment processors, social-media platforms, or other third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and ABG is not responsible for those independent practices.

​

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of each third party before providing personal information.
 

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, technology, or legal obligations. The revised Policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

​

If a change materially affects how we use previously collected personal information, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by law.
