Both Clarion and GSOF are Joint Independent Data Controllers and by registering for this event you accept that your data will be shared with both parties.

We take your privacy seriously. By registering for this event GSOF wishes to use your information on the basis of our legitimate interests to keep in contact with you about this event and its future editions. GSOF will only ever use the information we collect or receive about you in accordance with the GSOF Privacy Policy.

All registration, profile and behavioral data captured, recorded & managed pre, during and post event by Circdata remains wholly owned by Clarion. Clarion Events and its approved third party data processors are fully General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Payment Card Industry (PCI ), and Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS) compliant.

All data is submitted securely over the internet to our secure, ring-fenced database and data services operating in Microsoft Azure Cloud in the United Kingdom. All data is stored in redundant, secure locations and is backed up appropriately in the United Kingdom. All access to data is user rights controlled and logged and is only available to Clarion team members and its approved third party data processors support team. USSOCOM personnel data will be deleted after the conclusion of SOF Week 2023.

As part of your registration, you are required to provide a passport-style photograph and identification document for verification purposes. This is part of our more stringent and secure entry process, which will help to reduce queuing times at the venue and limit your close contact with staff and other attendees.

Please Note: your documents will only be used for verification purposes and will not be stored by Clarion Events.

Data is collected in the form of image data for ID purposes. This data is held in the database in the form of a binary large object (BLOB), and is subject to all our usual database encryption and security. ID data is only held until Clarion has completed their checks and approval processes, at which point ID document images are permanently deleted from the database and any mirrors. This deletion process is automated and is followed up by manual checks from the GSOF data team to ensure the process has completed correctly.

Please Note: By collecting and uploading an individual personal ID documentation you have obtained the appropriate consent from your employer to do so. Once uploaded we will only use this information for verifying your identity as part of our security checks and the documentation will be deleted after the verification process is complete.
