Why we need it

We are collecting your basic personal data such as name and email address in order to contact you in case of cancellation and in order to add you to our mailing list. We may record online events and use images from the event for marketing purposes, on our website, in our newsletter and on social media. If you wish to remain anonymous you can change or remove your name and switch off your camera and microphone for the duration of the event(s). We will only collect data that we need in order to provide and oversee this service to you.
