Privacy
This page says what we collect about you, what we do with it, and how to make us stop. Tech Now Global is the organisation responsible. We follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
What we collect, and why
| When you | We collect | So that we can |
|---|---|---|
| Buy a ticket | Your name, email, phone number, whether you are a student, builder, professional or partner, your organisation if you give one, and your payment reference | Send your QR ticket, check you in at the door, and keep the accounts straight |
| Use a school code | The code, which tells us your school | Count students per school and keep the free ticket for students |
| Enter the Builder Challenge | Names, email, WhatsApp number, age group, school or institution, a teacher’s name and phone for school teams, team members, and what you are building | Run the Challenge, reach you about it, and judge entries |
| Apply for a stand (exhibitor, startup, vendor) | Your name, role, business name and contacts, what you will show or sell, a logo or image if you upload one | Review the application, plan the floor, and list confirmed stands on the site and in the programme |
| Apply to volunteer | Name, contact details, age bracket, availability and skills | Choose and brief volunteers |
| Join the merch preorder list | Name and email | Tell you when the item is available |
We never see your card number. Payments are handled by our payment provider on their secure pages.
Who sees it
- The Tech Now Global summit team, who need it to do the jobs above.
- Our payment provider (for payments), our website host (where the site and its forms live), and the email service that sends our messages. Each handles data under its own privacy terms.
- Confirmed exhibitors, startups and vendors are listed publicly by business name, with the logo they gave us. Personal contact details are never published.
- Partners and sponsors do not receive the attendee list or your contact details.
How long we keep it
- Applications and Challenge entries: deleted by 31 March 2027, unless you ticked “keep me updated”, in which case we keep your name and email for summit news until you unsubscribe.
- Ticket purchase records: as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Photos and video
The summit is photographed and filmed, and the pictures are used by Tech Now Global and summit partners to tell the story of the day. If you would rather not appear, tell the registration desk and you will get a “no photo” sticker for your badge; our photographers respect it. Students appear only in group and crowd shots unless their school has given written consent, and no student is photographed on their own without a teacher present.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@technowglobal.org from the address we have for you and we will respond within 14 days. If you ticked “keep me updated”, every email we send has an unsubscribe link.
