IN GENERAL
We are happy to announce that Eventbuizz have implemented new functionality and features for our event organizers to comply with GDPR regulation that will be effective from 25 May 2018.
Generally, when the attendee has accepted the event organizer’s GDPR policy from the registration site or event app, the attendee information will be visible to other attendees.
Each time an event is created in the Event Center the event organizer is responsible for which of the two following options for GDPR policies to be activated in settings.
1. ENABLE GDPR
When this option and policy is enabled, and the attendee has not accepted the event organizer’s GDPR policy, the attendee will only appear with “First Name” and “Last Name”.
2. INVISIBLE VISIBLE
When this option and policy is enabled, and the attendee has not accepted the event organizer’s GDPR policy, the attendee will not appear with any information at all.
Note, that the attendee’s information will always be visible to the event organizer in the Event Center. If event organizer export data to excel, the participant list will contain information of whether or not the attendee has accepted your GDPR policy.
GDPR for Event organizer
The information that is collected within the system and the information that the organizers can export will remain the same, although for export: Attendees, sub-registration results & orders, we have added a new field to indicate, if the attendee have accepted your GDPR regulations or not. The data that is collected, exported or distributed is the organizers responsibility at all time.
GDPR disclaimer management
The content of the GDPR disclaimer is maintained on each event and can be found in Setting->GDPR->GDPR disclaimer.
“Subject” field contain the header text and the “Inline text” field is the description you see after the checkbox that the attendee has to select on the registration site or in the app, to accept the GDPR. In the “Inline text” field between {detail_link} and {/detail_link} all text will contain the hyper link for the GDPR description.
The GDPR disclaimer is versioned and the system is keeping log of each version. The system is also logging which version of the GDPR the attendee has accepted.
GDPR activation
The GDPR needs to be activated on each Event and can be found under Setting->GDPR->Settings
