This is a brief overview - read more about the Data Protection Toolkit here.

Data Protection - some key definitions

• Consent – The process of requesting a formal consent from an attendee acknowledging your data privacy processes and agreeing to providing you with their personal data
• Withdrawal of Consent – The process where an attendee withdraws their consent for you to use their personal data
• Data Administrator – An EventsAir User authorized to search for Anonymized contact records by encrypted name, email address or phone number and to produce a Data Processing Statement
• Data Processing Consent Policy – These are statements from you, the meeting organizer, to your contacts regarding your data privacy processes and procedures. These statements will be accompanied by a formal Consent or Withdrawal of Consent option for the attendee to select.
• Data Processing Statement – A document, produced on demand, that contains all personal data stored about an individual across all events, along with the Data Processing Log and Data Processing Consent Policies
• Data Protection Officer (DPO) – The Data Protection Officer is a designated person within an organization authorized to oversee and direct data privacy processes and procedures
• Personal Data – Any data provided by a contact for you to use for event registration and management, that is specific to this contact. These include, but are not limited to names, contact details, addresses, photos, and any other data you request that is unique and private to one person.
• Third Party Processors – These are any parties, individuals or organizations that receive personal data during your event management processes. These can include hotel partners, transportation vendors, caterers, your clients, or any other party that may receive personal details in reports, exports, and downloads.
• Anonymization – the process that removes all personal data from a contact record and retains other financial and historical information. This process also encrypts the name, email, and phone number of the contact, and this encrypted data can be searched for only by an authorized Data Administrator.
• Event Archiving – this process anonymizes all personal data contained within a specific event and removes it from day-to-day event management processes. Archived events can still be searched for and reported on.
• Logging – this is the process of recording, for historical and reporting reasons, all actions pertaining to data protection. This includes Consent, Withdrawal of Consent, and the logging of all instances where personal data is exported and accessed by Third Party Processors.

Applying the right processes and tools to your ongoing registration and event management will provide excellent protection of personal data along with the reporting, logging and tracking requirements that are required from many of today’s data privacy regulations.

The Data Protection Toolkit

Like everything else in EventsAir, the Data Protection Toolkit is designed as a structured workflow for event organizers to use. This workflow follows the typical path that a planner would use in designing and running an event.
