What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Grocery Specialty Food West (GSF) is a Business-to-Business (B2B) conference and exhibition. Any media that wish to gain access to the event must have a B2B audience and be specifically industry-related. In some cases, we may make exceptions based on the story angle, but this decision is solely at the discretion of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers (CFIG) and/or the organizers of GSF. For bloggers and social media influencers, there must be a proven audience of over 10,000 active followers and must be targeted towards the industry. All decisions are final. Approved media will receive a written confirmation prior to the event.
