Privacy policy

Personal data protection

• This consent is mandatory: without it, your registration cannot be recorded. It covers the handling of your registration, the issuing of your badge and access control on site.
• Optional, separate consent. It allows exhibitors to keep your contact details when they scan your badge, and unlocks B2B meeting requests. You may withdraw it at any time.
• Your data is kept for twelve months after the edition, excluding aggregated statistics.
• Processed in accordance with Senegalese Act 2008-12. No data is sold or transferred to third parties.

Your right to erasure

From “My account” you can erase your data yourself, immediately and without going through a committee. So that an already-open sign-in link is not enough to destroy an account, a fresh code is sent to your address at the moment of the act.

What is erased

• Your identity: name, first name, email address, job title, institution, photo.
• Your sign-in links and codes, and your devices’ notification subscriptions.
• Your agenda, your Wallet registrations, your speaker profile and your booth team memberships.

What is kept, detached from you

• Your GIM-Awards vote stays in the tally: a ballot is not withdrawn from a vote, it is detached from its author.
• Your check-ins stay: attendance is a fact, and the show has an access-traceability obligation.
• The consent register stays: it proves what you had consented to before the erasure.
• Contacts collected by exhibitors stay with them, without your identity or the free-text note attached to them.
• Messages in an appointment thread stay, without their author.

Delays and limits to know about

• The platform’s daily encrypted backups are kept for 12 months: your data remains in them until they are replaced, within that period.
• So that your erasure survives a backup restoration, a technical identifier and the date of the erasure are kept in a register held outside the database. This register does not contain your identity (no name, no address, no IP address); only a comparison with an old backup would link it to you. It is kept at least as long as the database backups, that is 12 months.
• The trace of the erasure itself is kept, without name, address or IP address: it proves that it happened, and when.
• Public pages (speaker profiles, booth teams) are cached for up to 60 seconds: a profile may stay visible for a short moment after the erasure.
• An access-control station that has already synchronised keeps names until its next synchronisation; your badge, however, is invalidated and will be refused.
