Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you register for an event or contact us. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name and professional interests, and for group tickets, the names and email addresses of the other people in your group. We also keep a record of your ticket, the amount paid and whether you checked in at the event.

Payments are processed by our payment provider, Paystack. We do not receive or store your card or mobile money details. Our hosting providers also process technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the website and keep it secure.

We use the information we collect to facilitate event registrations, issue and check tickets, manage attendee communication, process payments and improve our services. We may also use your contact information to send you updates about relevant events and opportunities; you can opt out at any time.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information with event partners or sponsors, or with third-party service providers (such as our payment, cloud hosting and email providers), only as necessary to deliver the services you have requested. We may also disclose information to legal or regulatory authorities when required by law.

4. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers, such as our cloud hosting, email and payment providers, may process your data outside Kenya. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in line with the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.
