Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the organisers of the World Entrepreneur & Investor Summit ("we", "us", "our") collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit this website or submit an enquiry, registration interest, or other form to us. Please read it alongside our Cookie Policy and Terms & Conditions.

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, the data controller is [Organiser legal name], [registered address]. If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, contact us at hello@entrepreneurinvestorsummit.com or via our Contact page.

What data we collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us through the website's lead-capture and enquiry forms. Depending on the form, this may include:

• Your full name
• Business email address
• Phone or WhatsApp number
• Company or organisation name
• Job title or role
• Country or location
• Industry or sector
• Enquiry details, message content, and any information you choose to include

We also collect limited technical and marketing-attribution data automatically. This includes standard log information (such as browser type, device, and approximate location derived from IP address) and campaign or source-tracking parameters — for example UTM values (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) and referral information — that may be captured alongside a form submission so that we understand which channel an enquiry came from. Cookies and similar technologies are described in our Cookie Policy.

How we use your data

We use the personal data you provide to:

• Respond to your enquiry and provide the information you requested (for example ticket details, sponsorship options, or speaking opportunities);
• Communicate with you about the event, including confirmations, updates to the programme, logistics, and reminders;
• Send you relevant event communications and updates where you have asked to receive them or where we are otherwise permitted to do so;
• Understand, in aggregate, how our website and campaigns perform, using analytics that do not identify you individually;
• Maintain the security and integrity of our website and prevent misuse; and
• Comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Legal basis and consent

Where data protection law such as the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases for processing your data: your consent (for example, when you opt in to marketing communications); the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into one (for example, responding to a registration enquiry); our legitimate interests in operating and promoting the event, provided these are not overridden by your rights; and legal obligation where processing is required by law. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Cookies and tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and, where enabled, analytics. Full details of the cookies we use and how you can manage them are set out in our Cookie Policy.

How we share your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with trusted third parties who help us operate the event and website, including:

• Customer relationship management (CRM) and email platforms that store enquiries and send communications;
• Website hosting, form-processing, and analytics providers;
• Payment or ticketing providers where a transaction is involved; and
• Professional advisers, and authorities where disclosure is required by law.

These service providers act as our processors and are only permitted to use your data on our instructions and in line with appropriate safeguards. We may also share data with [named event partners, if any] only where you have agreed to this.

International transfers

The event is held in United Arab Emirates, and our service providers may be located in different countries. Where we transfer personal data across borders, including outside your home jurisdiction, we take steps to ensure it is protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under applicable law.

How long we keep your data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to your enquiry, deliver event communications, and meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Enquiry and marketing records are typically reviewed and deleted or anonymised when they are no longer required, in accordance with our internal retention schedule [specify retention periods].

Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten");
• Restrict or object to certain processing;
• Request portability of data you provided to us;
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and
• Lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our [Data Protection Officer email] or email us at hello@entrepreneurinvestorsummit.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

How we protect your data

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration — including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and vetted service providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children and eligibility

This website and event are intended for business professionals. This event is designed for business professionals, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate decision-makers. Student registrations are not accepted. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
