What we collect
When you contact us, we receive the information you provide: name, work email, company, job title, optional phone number, and the content of your message. Speaking enquiries also include a proposed topic. Please do not include sensitive personal information in free-text fields.
Our enquiry system also records the form type, submission time, consent information and technical details such as the referring page, IP address and browser. Hosting and security services may process connection and security logs.
This notice covers the current information and enquiry website. Ticket purchases, payment details, dietary or accessibility requirements and event recordings are not collected through these enquiry forms.
Purposes and legal bases
We use enquiry details to answer your request and discuss attendance, speaking or partnership opportunities. Where you give consent through a form, the legal basis is your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). Steps you specifically request before entering a contract may be based on Article 6(1)(b).
We handle ordinary business correspondence and maintain the security and reliability of the website on the basis of legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): communicating with people who contact us and preventing abuse. Where a specific legal obligation requires us to retain or disclose information, Article 6(1)(c) applies.
Providing enquiry details is voluntary, but we cannot respond without sufficient contact information. We do not use these forms for automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects.
Marketing and partners
An enquiry does not subscribe you to a newsletter or authorise us to pass your contact details to sponsors for their own marketing. Any optional marketing or partner-sharing arrangement will be described separately before it is introduced.
You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your situation; you may object to direct marketing at any time.
Who receives information
Authorised EBCG staff handle enquiries. We use Webglobe for website hosting, Microsoft 365 for email, and WordPress with EBCG Engine for website and enquiry management. Technical service providers process information as needed to provide those services. We may disclose information where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Links to LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube and other external sites take you to services with their own privacy rules. They are ordinary links, not embedded social feeds.
How long we keep information
We retain enquiries for as long as needed to deal with the request and any resulting discussions. If an enquiry develops into a contract, the relevant correspondence forms part of the contract records. Further retention depends on applicable legal duties and whether information is necessary for an actual or reasonably anticipated dispute. Security logs are retained according to their security purpose and any incident requiring investigation.
When assessing whether information remains necessary, we consider whether the enquiry is resolved, whether discussions are ongoing, and whether legal or security reasons require retention. You may contact us for information about the retention applicable to your records.
International processing
The organiser is based in Slovakia and the event is planned for Ghana. Some service providers, including global email and font services, may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where the GDPR requires a transfer safeguard, the applicable mechanism may include an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. Contact us for information about the arrangements applicable to your data.
This enquiry form does not by itself authorise disclosure to event partners or local suppliers in Ghana. Any additional event-related processing will be explained before it begins.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions in applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing or data portability, object to processing, and withdraw consent. Send requests to hello@ebcg.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
You can complain to the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Slovak Republic or another competent supervisory authority. For processing subject to Ghanaian law, information is available from the Data Protection Commission of Ghana.
Changes to this notice
We will update this notice when the website or event data-processing arrangements change. The date above identifies the current version. Material new purposes will be explained before information is used for those purposes.
