NCT Consultants Privacy Policy & SMS Terms
Last updated: September 2026
NCT Consultants respects the privacy of visitors to our websites and participants, speakers, sponsors, partners and other attendees at NCT events and activities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information in connection with our websites, events, training activities and related services, including our email and SMS communications.
Information We Collect and Use
When you visit our websites, register for, participate in, sponsor or otherwise engage with an NCT event or activity, we may collect information such as your name, organization, job title, professional contact details, email address, mobile telephone number and information relating to your participation.
We use this information to organize and administer our events and activities, manage registrations and access, communicate with participants, provide our services, maintain appropriate records and support our professional community.
Where necessary for the organization or delivery of an event or service, relevant information may be shared with event organizers, operational partners and service providers involved in delivering those services.
We do not sell personal information.
Email Communications
NCT Consultants may use your email address to communicate with you about your participation, NCT events, training activities, related programs and other NCT activities that may be relevant to your professional interests.
You may unsubscribe from marketing email communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in our emails.

Where you provide your mobile telephone number and opt in to receive SMS messages, you agree to receive text messages from NCT Consultants relating to NCT events, training activities and related NCT programs.
Messages may include:
-
Event registration and participation information

Schedules, logistical information and operational updates

Communications relating to NCT online services and portals
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP. After opting out, you will no longer receive messages from that SMS program unless you subsequently opt in again.
For assistance, reply HELP or use the contact form on the NCT website.
Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing sponsorship, registering for an event or participating in an NCT activity.
Mobile numbers and SMS opt-in information will not be sold or shared with third parties for their marketing or promotional purposes.
Sponsors and their authorized representatives may receive SMS messages relating to their participation in NCT activities, including event information, logistical updates and authentication messages required to access NCT online services or sponsor portals.
Photography and Video at NCT Events
Photography and video recording take place during NCT events and activities. Images and recordings may be used by NCT Consultants for event documentation, reporting, training, promotional materials, websites, social media and communications relating to NCT activities.
We recognize that some participants may not wish to be identifiable in published photographs or video.
Participants who do not wish their face to be shown should obtain and wear a red armband on their right arm during the event. This identifies the participant to the NCT media team and allows us to take reasonable measures to avoid identifiable publication or to blur the participant’s face in photographs and video footage.
Red armbands can be requested from the NCT event team.
If you have concerns about an image or recording that has already been published by NCT Consultants, please contact us through the contact form on the NCT website.

We may provide these service providers with personal information where necessary for them to perform services on our behalf.
NCT Consultants takes reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
