If you are a registered user this may include your name and email address for verification purposes. We use information from cookies for purposes which may include:
You can delete cookies from your hard drive at any time, however this will mean that any settings such as your stored username and password will have to be reset.

We like to keep track of what pages and links are popular and which ones don’t get used so much to help us keep our sites relevant and up to date. It’s also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people navigate (find their way through) our sites and if they get error messages from web pages.

FOR INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED BY OR REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS OF OUR CLIENTS/SUPPLIERS, ASSOCIATE ORGANISATIONS AND INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS
PAI Group operates a ‘legitimate interest’ approach in processing the personal data that it receives from individuals employed by or representing the interests of our clients/suppliers, associate organisations and industry stakeholders (including journalists and media representatives) in order to administer service provision, surveys and information deemed relevant. This includes, but is not restricted to the following areas:
Enquiry Control, Design, Integration, Installation, Support and similar associated activities. Purchasing, Accounting and similar associated activities. Dealings with professional bodies, including but not necessarily limited to Professional Services Companies, Trade Associations, Standards and Certification Bodies, Organisations engaged in Skills and/or Training Development and/or Provision, Industry Bodies and similar associated activities.
Without the ability to process this personal data, PAI Group would be unable to deliver informational expectations associated with our customer, supply chain and similar stakeholder requirements.
Individuals are able to manage communication preferences at any time by accessing their mailing list options at bit.ly/vaughansoundnews, or by utilising the relevant links at the foot of any email that they receive from us.
If you have not directly provided your personal data to us, it may have been disclosed (or approved) to us by your employer, an associated party acting on behalf of your employer, or other industry stakeholder. When personal data has been disclosed to us in this way, your employer is responsible for ensuring that you have been informed of how your data will be used.
By registering or allowing the registration of your personal data with us, either personally or by a designated company participant either through our website or in any other way, you agree to us processing your personal data for specific purposes, including the areas already outlined in this policy.
In order to arrange and administer our commitments to the stakeholders noted above, we will disclose some or all of your personal data to the PAI Group, auditors and service providers. We will not share your personal data outside the European Union. Where your personal data is shared for hosting purposes with third parties, such as service providers, PAI Group has reviewed and ensured that the relevant privacy policies are in line with our own.
We will on occasion use your contact details to keep you informed by post, email or telephone of our additional products or services, and any development of these which may be of specific interest to you. Please note that these details may continue to be used after your initial dealings with us have ceased, unless we are notified by the relevant party or yourself.

FOR INDIVIDUALS NOT EMPLOYED BY OR REPRESENTING THE INTERESTS OF OUR CLIENTS/SUPPLIERS, ASSOCIATE ORGANISATIONS AND INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS OR OTHER NON-INDUSTRY RELATED INDIVIDUALS
PAI Group operates an ‘explicit consent’ approach to the processing of the personal data it receives from individuals not employed by or representing the interests of our clients/suppliers, associate organisations and industry stakeholders or other non-industry related individuals, not deemed as relevant industry stakeholders.
This typically applies to those individuals that have expressed an interest in finding out about us, or have submitted any other enquiry to us.
This means that we will not subscribe such individuals to receive any types of promotional communication unless they have voluntarily given their consent to receive updates from us at the time when the lead/enquiry is submitted.
Once consent is given, individuals have the ability to opt-out from receiving further communication at any time.
Direct communication from designated individuals from PAI Group to progress a lead enquiry will occur independently from promotional marketing activity until the lead/enquiry has been converted or alternatively the lead subject has advised that they are no longer interested in our services.
PAI Group will never sell your data and your details will be kept safe and secure at all times when it is within our servers. As with all data communications through the Internet, where your personal data has been sent electronically to any third party, PAI Group cannot provide complete guarantees that it will remain secure, although we will take all appropriate steps to minimise risk.
Your personal data will not be used for unrelated profiling by PAI Group.
Your personal data will be retained in accordance with our Data Retention Policy. This Policy takes into account the purpose for which the data was collected, legal and regulatory requirements for retaining certain types of data, and the reasonable record keeping requirements of PAI Group.
