Email Communications:
We want to make it easy for you to take advantage of technology-related opportunities on our Services.

Please note that you will have the opportunity to choose not to receive these email messages at the point of email collection and in any such email we send.
Please review “Your choices with respect to the collection and use of your information” below.
With Whom We Share Your Information
We may share your information with the following entities:
- Suppliers, such as event management companies, our software development partners, hotels and conference rooms owners where we conduct the sessions, catering service providers, and activity providers, and who we deem appropriate with completion of your request. Throughout this site, all services provided by a third-party supplier are described as such. By making a reservation through the Services, you are authorizing us to disclose to suppliers the information required to complete the booking and deliver the related service. These suppliers are not controlled by Talisman Group Pty Ltd. and personal information disclosed to them is subject to the applicable supplier’s privacy policy and security practices. Therefore, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any supplier whose products you purchase through this site. Please note that these suppliers also may contact you as necessary to obtain additional information about you, facilitate your reservation, or respond to a review you may submit.
- Third-party vendors who provide services or functions on our behalf, including credit card processing, business analytics, customer service, marketing, distribution of surveys or sweepstakes programs, and fraud prevention. We may also authorize third-party vendors to collect information on our behalf, including as necessary to operate features of our website or, as discussed below, to facilitate the delivery of online advertising tailored to your interests. Third-party vendors have access to and may collect information only as needed to perform their functions and are not permitted to share or use the information for any other purpose.
- Business partners with whom we may jointly offer products or services, or whose products or services may be offered on our Services. You can tell when a third party is involved in a product or service you have requested because their name will appear, either alone or with ours. If you choose to access these optional services, we may share information about you with those partners. Please note that we do not control the privacy practices of these third-party business partners and encourage you to review their privacy policies before you respond to any joint offer.
- Referring websites. If you were referred to this website from another site (for example, through a link you clicked on another site that directed you to this one), we may share limited information about you with that referring website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website that referred you here.
- Government and Law Enforcement Agencies. We may be required to disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies and governments around the world for security, customs and immigration purposes. We may disclose this information to any intermediaries involved so that they can forward it to the applicable law enforcement agencies and governments.
We Also May Share Your Information:
- In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases we reserve the right to raise or waive any legal objection or right available to us.
- When we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company or this website, our customers, or others; and in connection with our Terms of Service and other agreements.
- In connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale, or in the unlikely event of bankruptcy. Other than as set out above, you will be notified when personal information about you will be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to have us share such information.
We also may share aggregate or anonymous information with third parties, including advertisers and investors. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of visitors our website receives or the most popular training programs and time of the year. This information does not contain any personal information and is used to develop content and services we hope you will find of interest.
