For event organizers, an important responsibility was added back in 2018: data protection for event attendees.
Organizing events in compliance with GDPR
When handling event registration, GDPR rules require that attendees must be able to view, update, and delete their personal data. The registration software you use must enable this.
Internally, it is important to map out what data is being processed and where. Everyone within the organization must be aware of the GDPR guidelines. A practical tip is to avoid password sharing: ensure that every team member works through their own individual account.
GDPR implications for business events
Event organizers and vendors, such as event software providers, collect attendee data—personal details, as well as information like dietary allergies. Organizers processing identity-related data, such as political or sexual preferences, must take steps to demonstrate that a GDPR event policy is in place.
