Each event is governed by a specific privacy policy that is the responsibility of the organizer of each event and which should explain the purpose of using our technology.

The beamian team is committed to data privacy and recommends that event organizers collect only the information strictly necessary to conduct each event, fully respecting the european legislation on the processing of personal data based on General Data Protection Regulation.

If any breach of national or international law is detected, the service agreement with the event organizer may be canceled and taken to the competent authorities.

This declaration of exoneration of liability is not intended to limit the liability of beamian in a manner that is inconsistent with the applicable national law or to exclude liability in cases where it is not permitted by such legislation.
