Understanding GDPR
Updated over a week ago

At Swapcard, we take data privacy seriously and are committed to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when collaborating with event organizers. Our goal is to ensure that your personal data is handled securely and transparently, giving you control over your information while participating in events.

What happens to your data during Event registration?

In theory, when you register for an event, it is indicated either in the general conditions of registration for the event or in the registration form that Swapcard is a partner of the event and that the data of the participants is transferred from the organizer's database to our database in order to feed our networking platform.

How does Swapcard use your data ?

Account Creation
Swapcard uses your data exclusively to set up your account on our networking platform for the event you registered for. This ensures that you can seamlessly engage with other participants and access event features.

Data Ownership
You retain full ownership of your data. You have the right to access, update, or delete your information at any time directly from your Swapcard account. We do not share your contact details with other participants without your explicit consent.

Email Communication
Similarly, our email communication practices are fully compliant with GDPR regulations. You can manage your email preferences and opt out of communications at any time.

Swapcard only uses your data to pre-create your account in the networking platform and only in the event for which you have registered. You own the data in your account and can delete it at any time. The same goes for our emailing.

In addition, your contact details are never transmitted to other people without your consent during the events (see What information in my profile is accessible to other participants?).


Your data privacy is our priority. At Swapcard, we ensure that your personal information is used responsibly and securely. If you have any further questions or concerns about how your data is managed, please visit our GDPR information page or contact us directly at legal@swapcard.com.
