5. Where is the information stored and processed?

Events, Publishing & Marketing:  All information is physically stored within the European Union (EU).

For events and ticket sales outside of the EU your information will still be stored in the EU.  As your coordinator is likely to be local to the country the event takes place in, it should be presumed processing of your data will occur in the EU and the country where the event takes place.
