Annual Conference & Exhibit App

During the Annual Conference & Exhibit, the Iowa League of Cities offers a conference app available on iOS and Android devices. The League restricts access to the event to registered participants.

Android users will need Android version 12 or higher.

If you need assistance with the app, please visit the conference registration desk, email conferencehelp@iowaleague.org or call (515) 244-7282.

Some common troubleshooting tips:

  • It’s common for conference registrations to be made with a work or city email address while you’re trying to access the app from your personal device with a personal email. If you can, try logging in with your work/city address. Otherwise, stop by the registration desk to request your email address be updated.
  • Shared email addresses can be problematic as well. Two people using the same account to log into the app on different devices is a recipe for frustration. Again, the team at the registration desk can help.

App Data Usage & Privacy Policy

App Privacy Policy
App Terms & Conditions

The League offers attendees the option to use the event app for a better event experience. To provide this service, the League uses event registration records to create initial profiles for all Annual Conference & Exhibit attendees within the app. The uploaded profile consists of the following information:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email

If you were registered by someone else, you might need to update your contact information at the registration desk before accessing the event app.

This process sends an email to the registrant, inviting them to use the event app. If the registrant creates an account within the app, they have access to use features, which include social networking and commentary, photo uploads, surveys, and vendor interaction opportunities. The registrant is in control of how much information about themselves is shared while using the app. If the registrant never logs into the app, none of their information is available to app users. The app is accessible to registrants for the year following the event.

11 Data transfer to a third country

In order to be able to provide the conference app services, we may use the support of service providers from the European area as well as from third countries. In order to ensure the protection of your personal data even in the event of data transfer to a third country, EventMobi concludes special order processing agreements with each of the carefully selected service providers. All of the service providers used have sufficient evidence that they ensure data security through appropriate technical and organizational measures. Service providers from third countries are either located in countries that have an adequate level of data protection recognized by the EU Commission (Art. 45 GDPR) or have provided appropriate safeguards (Art. 46 GDPR).

Adequate level of protection: The provider originates from a country whose adequate level of data protection has been recognized by the EU Commission. You can find more information at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu/adequacy-protection-personal-data-non-eu-countries_en

EU standard contractual clauses: Our provider has submitted to the EU standard contractual clauses to ensure secure data transfer. You can find more information on this at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?uri=CELEX%3A32021D0914&locale=en

Binding Corporate Rules: Article 47 of the GDPR provides for the possibility of ensuring data protection when transferring data to a third country via binding internal data protection rules. These are reviewed and accepted by the competent supervisory authorities as part of the consistency procedure under Art. 63 GDPR.

Consent: In addition, a data transfer to a third country without an adequate level of protection will only take place if you have given us your consent for this pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) DSGVO or if another exception pursuant to Art. 49 DSGVO is relevant for the data transfer.

12 Your rights

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us regarding the personal data concerning you:

12.1 Right to withdraw consent (cf. Art. 7 DSGVO).

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke it at any time. Such revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data for the future after you have expressed it to us. It can be made (remotely) verbally or in writing by mail or e-mail to us.

12.2 Right to information (cf. Art. 15 DSGVO).

In the event of a request for information, you must provide sufficient information about your identity and proof that the information is yours. The information concerns the following information:

  • The purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • The categories of personal data which are processed;
  • The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
  • The planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if concrete information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
  • The existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  • The existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  • Any available information about the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
  • The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.
12.3 Right to rectification or deletion (cf. Art. 16, 17 DSGVO)

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis us as the controller, insofar as the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall make the correction without undue delay.

In addition, you may request the deletion of the personal data concerning you, provided that one of the following reasons applies to you:

  • The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  • You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) or Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
  • The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

If we have made the personal data concerning you public and we are obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17 (1) of the GDPR, we shall also take all reasonable measures to inform other data controllers that you have requested the erasure of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that the processing is necessary:

  • For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
  • For compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • For reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) DSGVO;
  • For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) DSGVO, insofar as the aforementioned right is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or
  • For the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
12.4 Right to restriction of processing (cf. Art. 18 DSGVO)

Under the following conditions, you may request that we restrict the processing of personal data relating to you:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of your personal data;
  • The processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  • We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  • If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) DSGVO and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

12.5 Right to information (cf. Art. 19 DSGVO)

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of data processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients of your personal data of the rectification, erasure or restriction of data processing. This applies only to the extent that such notification does not prove impossible or would involve a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to know which recipients have received your data.

12.6 Right to data portability (cf. Art. 20 DSGVO)

You have the right to receive your personal data from us in a common, machine-readable format in order to have it transferred to another controller, if necessary, provided that:

  • The processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 b) DSGVO and
  • The processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

When exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.

12.7 Right to object to processing (cf. Art. 21 DSGVO)

If we base the processing of your personal data on a legitimate interest (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO) on our part, you may object to the processing. The same applies should we base the data processing on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e) DSGVO.

When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the merits of the case and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

12.8 Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority (cf. Art. 77 GDPR)

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged will inform you of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
