• Geographic Data: Country/region.
• Technical Data: Track preferences and specific infrastructure challenges you are currently solving.

2. Why We Collect This Data

We process your personal information based on your explicit consent and our legitimate interest in hosting a focused, high-signal event. We use the data to:

• Review and approve registration requests to maintain a practitioner-first audience.

4. Sponsor Data Sharing

InfraConf Africa is completely free to attend for all virtual participants because of our partners. We do not share your contact details or application data with sponsors unless you explicitly opt-in (e.g. by scanning a sponsor badge, requesting prospectus follow-ups, or choosing to share details during specific workshops).
