We may use the personal data we obtain about you in connection with the App to:

• Provide you with information about the event that you are attending, including via email and push notification on your mobile device;
• Enable features of the App, such as attendee lists, posting functionality, meeting schedules and personalized schedules, agenda sessions, exhibitors, recommendations, content customization, lists of speakers and location information, and notifications and reminders;

We also may use the information in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.

Push Notifications: If you are a registered user of the App, you may receive conference notifications in the Notifications section within the App, such as: general meeting and event information; schedule reminders; and meeting room or venue changes. With your consent, we may send push notifications or alerts to your mobile device even when you are not logged in. We use push notifications to send you notifications related to the Mastercard Meeting. At any time, you can manage your push notification preferences or deactivate these notifications by turning off the notification settings in the App or in the Device Settings of your mobile device. If you choose not to receive push notifications, then you will still receive In-App notifications is the Notifications section within the App.

Location Information: When you use the App and with your consent, we may collect and use your precise (or GPS) location information collected from the App to enhance your use of the App by providing you with maps and directions to places (e.g., restaurants, hotels, events, attractions, etc.). If you are using the mapping tool available within the App, that mapping tool service is provided by Google in most countries but other third-party map service providers may be used in certain countries. Their collection and use of any data through your interaction with their mapping tool is governed by Google’s (or such other map service provider’s) privacy policy and terms of use, which we suggest you read. You can choose to turn off the geolocation services of the App at any time in the Device Settings of your mobile device. Please note that turning off location services may affect certain features of our App.

Photos and Camera: We will not access your photos or camera without first getting your explicit permission. If you give us permission to access photos or your camera, we will only use images that you specifically choose to share with us. You may use our application to select the photo or photos you choose to share, but we will never import the photos you review except those you explicitly share. At any time, you can manage your Photos and Camera preferences by turning off this feature in the Device Settings of your mobile device.

3. Personal Data We Share

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal data we collect about you, except as described in this Privacy Notice or otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected.

Service Providers: We may share personal data with our service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as companies that develop and support the operation of the App, and send email or other electronic communications. In some instances, these service providers may collect information directly from you on our behalf. We do not authorize these service providers to use or disclose the data except as necessary to perform certain services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We require these service providers by contract to appropriately safeguard the privacy and security of personal data they process on our behalf.

4. Your Rights and Choices

You may have certain rights under applicable law regarding the personal data we maintain about you. We offer you certain choices about what personal data we collect from you, how we use that information, and how we communicate with you.

You can access your account by logging into your account profile in the App, where you can view or change your personal details. In some circumstances, withdrawing your consent to our use or disclosure of your personal data may mean that you cannot take advantage of certain products or services.

Where required by law, Mastercard obtains your prior opt-in consent at the time of collection for the processing of (i) personal data for marketing purposes and (ii) personal data deemed sensitive pursuant to applicable law.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to and receive information about the personal data we maintain about you, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal data, and have the information blocked or deleted, as appropriate.

5. How We Protect Personal Data

We maintain appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction; accidental loss; unauthorized alteration; unauthorized disclosure or access; misuse; and any other unlawful form of processing of the personal data in our possession. We also take measures to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when there is no longer a business need to keep the information. The types of measures we take vary with the type of information, and how it is collected and stored.

Please note that no collection or data transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any data transmission.

We will never ask you for your password in any unsolicited communication (including unsolicited correspondence, such as letters, phone calls, or e-mail messages). If you believe your user name and password have been compromised, please contact us by following the instructions provided in the section “How to Contact Us” below.

6. Data Transfers

We may transfer personal information to countries other than the country in which the data was originally collected. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your personal information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Notice.

Mastercard is a global business. To offer our services, we may need to transfer your personal information among several countries, including the United States, where we are headquartered. We comply with applicable legal requirements providing adequate safeguards for the transfer of personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area or Switzerland.

7. Features and Links to Other Websites

Our App may contain certain features for which we partner with other entities or provide links to other websites for your convenience and information. These features may include geographic location tools and links to other websites or applications, any of which may not be owned or operated by Mastercard. These other features, websites, or mobile applications may have their own privacy notices or policies, which we strongly suggest you review. To the extent any features or linked websites you visit are not owned or operated by Mastercard, we are not responsible for the sites’ content, any use of the sites, or the privacy practices of the sites.

8. Additional Information

The App is not intended for children, and Mastercard does not knowingly collect information from persons younger than the age of thirteen (13). If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a person younger than the age of 13, we will take commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information.

These Terms of Service (“TOS”) constitute a binding legal contract between you and MasterCard International Incorporated (“MasterCard”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the MasterCard Meetings App (the “App”), a software application that allows you to obtain information and enhance your experience at in-person MasterCard meetings or conferences, you agree to comply with and will be bound by the terms of these TOS. If you do not agree to the terms of these TOS, MasterCard is not willing to grant you any right to use or access the App. In such event, you may not download, install, access, use, or copy the App or any content located therein.

1. Changes to the TOS

MasterCard reserves the right to change the terms of these TOS at any time. The most recent version of these TOS will be available at Apple's App/iTunes Store or Google's Android Market place where the App is available for download. You will be notified if there has been a change to the TOS. If you continue to use the App 14 days after receipt of such notice, you will be taken to have agreed to the amended terms. Your continued use of the App 14 days following the notification of such changes signifies your acceptance of the modified TOS.

2. Continuance of Terms

These TOS, as amended, will remain in full force and effect while you use the App. Even after you have deleted the App, or MasterCard has terminated or suspended the license granted to you below, the balance of these TOS will remain binding on you. MasterCard reserves the right to amend or change these TOS, the App, or its content in any way or withdraw the App at any time.

3. Privacy

MasterCard recognizes the importance of respecting the privacy of those who visit its websites and use its products and services, including the App. The MasterCard Meetings Privacy Notice provides a description of how MasterCard collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data of its users, as well as the choices and access rights users have in regards to such personal data. Please carefully review the privacy notice associated with you use of the App.

4. Intellectual Property Ownership

The App is licensed to you, not sold. All content that constitutes the App or that is displayed within the App is protected by applicable intellectual property laws and all right, title, and interest in the Content is owned by MasterCard or used by MasterCard under a license or with permission. Except for the limited license granted in these TOS, as between you and MasterCard, MasterCard and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to the App and all proprietary rights in the App and all content set forth therein, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secret rights. Nothing contained within the App shall be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to make commercial use of any MasterCard consent without MasterCard's prior written permission. 

5. Grant of License

So long as you comply with this TOS, MasterCard grants you a limited, nonexclusive, as-is, revocable, non-transferable license, without right of sublicense, to use the App solely for the purpose of obtaining information and enhancing your experience at a MasterCard in-person meeting. 

6. Limitations On License

The license granted to you in this TOS is restricted as follows:

a. Limitations on Use and Misuse. You may not gain access to or use (including, without limitation, copy or distribute) MasterCard’s services or systems or the App other than as permitted hereunder, or damage, disrupt, or impede the operation of MasterCard’s services or systems.

b. Limitations on Reverse Engineering and Modification. Except as expressly permitted by these TOS, and except to the extent that applicable laws (including the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth)) prevent MasterCard restraining you from doing so, you may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, or create works derivative of the App or any content set forth therein.

c. Sublicense, Rental, and Third-Party Use. You may not assign, sub-license, rent, timeshare, loan, lease, or otherwise transfer the App, your account, or directly or indirectly permit any third party to use or copy the App or your account.

f. Compliance with Applicable Law. You are solely responsible for ensuring your use of the App is in compliance with all applicable foreign, federal, state, and local laws, and rules and regulations.

7. Copyright Complaints

In operating the App, MasterCard may act as a "services provider" (as defined by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, or the “DMCA”) and offer services as online provider of materials and links to third-party web sites. As a result, third-party materials that MasterCard does not own or control may be transmitted, stored, accessed, or otherwise made available using the App. MasterCard has in place certain legally mandated procedures regarding allegations of copyright infringement occurring on or within the App and has adopted a policy that provides for the immediate removal of any content or the suspension of any user that is found to have infringed on the rights of MasterCard or of a third party, or that has otherwise violated any intellectual property laws or regulations, or these TOS. If you believe any material available through the App infringes a copyright, you should notify MasterCard using the notice procedure for claimed infringement under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. Sect. 512(c)(2)). MasterCard will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer who provided the content. You should address infringement notices under the DMCA to: Copyright Agent, 2000 Purchase Street, Purchase, NY 10577, Attn: Law Department or to copyrightagent@mastercard.com.

Please provide the following notice:

1. Identify the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
2. Identify the material on the App that you claim is infringing, with enough detail so that MasterCard may locate it on the App;
3. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
4. A statement by you declaring under penalty of perjury that (a) the above information in your notice is accurate, and (b) that you are the owner of the copyright interest involved or that you are authorized to act on behalf of that owner;
5. Your address, telephone number, and email address; and
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

MasterCard may give notice to its users of any infringement notice by means of a general notice on any of its websites, electronic mail to a user's e-mail address in its records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a user's physical address in its records. If you receive such an infringement notice, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the designated agent that includes the information below. To be effective, the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
3. A statement from you under the penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
4. Your name, physical address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.

8. User Submissions

a. Conditions, Representations, and Warranties. As a user of the App, you may submit certain content, which may consist of textual content and potentially photos, videos, images, audio files, other types of content and links to such content if allowed by the App (collectively referred to as "User Submissions"). You will be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: the User Submission is your original work and/or that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize MasterCard to use any and all User Submissions in any and all media now known or hereinafter invented without territorial or time limitations and without compensation, and have all necessary consents to collect, use, and disclose any personally identifiable information, images, materials, information, or likeness contained or displayed in any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the App and these TOS. You agree that you will not submit as part of any User Submission any material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret, or otherwise subject to third-party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner and the necessary consents from any individuals whose personally identifiable information is contained in such material to post the material and to grant MasterCard all of the license rights granted herein. Furthermore, you warrant and represent that you will disclose the existence of any patent registrations or pending applications held by you which relate in any way to your User Submission. You acknowledge and agree that no confidential relationship or obligation of secrecy or confidentiality is established between you and MasterCard regarding the User Submission, despite any statement or legend to the contrary on the User Submission and any related materials.

b. Ownership And Use of User Submissions. By making a User Submission, you understand that you are granting MasterCard a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, fully-paid, irrevocable, sublicensable, transferrable, non-exclusive license to use, modify, and/or distribute the User Submission (including under copyright, patent, and trademark law), including the right to edit, change, and create derivative works, and any concepts or ideas contained in the User Submission, including the documents, artwork, statements, drawings, outlines, proofs, displays, photographs, footage, outtakes, musical scores, audio and video footage, and discs, whether in print or electronic form, produced or created by you as part of the User Submission. The license you are granting to MasterCard includes the right of MasterCard and its designees to reproduce the User Submission, prepare other works using the User Submission, combine your User Submission with other works, and alter, translate, distribute copies, display, perform, license and apply for copyright registration of the transformed User Submission in the name of MasterCard throughout the world in perpetuity in any media that now exists or may exist in the future. For example, the above grant permits MasterCard and its designees to use only certain portions of your User Submission, rerecord or modify any audio tracks or visual images you provide, rewrite the User Submission, and/or incorporate other materials, either created by MasterCard or licensed from others, with your Submission. If we create other works using the User Submission, those works will be owned by us and may be used in accordance with these guidelines, and shall not be subject to your approval.

By making a User Submission, you are waiving and agreeing not to assert any copyrights or "moral" rights or claim resulting from our alteration of the Submission or any photograph(s), footage, illustrations, statements, or other work contained in the Submission. You are also agreeing to appoint MasterCard as your irrevocable attorney-in-fact with respect to the User Submission, with the right to execute and deliver any documents, in your name and on your behalf, to ensure that MasterCard can use the User Submission that you are licensing in any way MasterCard sees fit to own and protect the rights in any derivative works created from your User Submission, and to have the User Submission removed from any other website or forum. Upon request of MasterCard, you shall execute and deliver such additional instrument of license, as may be solely deemed by MasterCard, reasonably necessary to establish MasterCard's ability to use the User Submission as it sees fit and that "Moral Rights of Authors" are waived under these Terms and Conditions. Should MasterCard fail to request the said license instrument as stated, that shall not be deemed a waiver of MasterCard's rights and MasterCard may at a later time request the instrument.

9. Capacity

You must be lawfully able to enter into contracts. To the extent you use the App to provide personal information or data about yourself or other individuals, as may be requested, you must be able to lawfully (a) provide such information and data, and (b) consent to its processing and usage. You are solely responsible for the information and data you provide through the App.

10. Termination

The license granted in sections 5 and 6 will automatically terminate in the event you breach any of its terms. In the event of a claim of intellectual property infringement by any third party relating to the App, MasterCard may immediately terminate these TOS.

11. Location-Enabled Features

Certain location-enabled functionality and information may be made available in the App. You must exercise your own judgment as to the adequacy and appropriateness of the information. To the extent permitted by law, all location-based information is provided entirely as is without warranties of any kind.
