The platform will also track lawful basis of processing and will allow for the withdrawal of consent, access/portability, modification, and deletion.   About 6Connex 6Connex is a global software and services provider for enterprise online events.  Our cloud-based product portfolio includes virtual environments, learning management and webinars  Designed for marketing, sales, recruitment training and HR communications, we transform big ideas into real-world results. 6Connex has helped many leading brands increase the effectiveness of their online programs by driving revenue growth, saving money and increased employee productivity.  Our customers include Salesforce, BlackRock, GE, CDC, Ericsson, CA Technologies, and more. ## Want to Hear More from Us? ## Related Posts [Media, Sports, and Entertainment](https://info.6connex.com/news/tag/media-sports-and-entertainment) 7 min read | April 11, 2022 ## [Los Angeles Rams Leverage 6Connex Event Technology to Launch First-of-Its-Kind Virtual Venue](https://info.6connex.com/blog/los-angeles-rams-virtual-venue-6connex-event-tech) "Virtual Rams House" Creates Innovative Opportunities for Fans and Corporate Partners to Interact with Los Angeles Rams LOS ANGELES and SAN ANTONIO, April 11, 2022...
