The organisation of the 7° EDF Conference in 2024 is fully compliant with the requirements of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Registration details entered into our system are accessible only to those organisers requiring the information for the purpose of identifying paid-up delegates and for contacting them as necessary. Please note that no details of credit-card information are retained in our system. In keeping with long-standing practice, it is intended to make the names and e-mail contact information of our delegates available to future organisers of graphite related conferences (INGSM and EDF) in order that they can promote their future events. If you do not wish your information to be used in this way, please tell us via the conference e-mail address confer@globalnet.co.uk.

Furthermore, with your consent, we would like to use and share your email contact information with trusted partners and affiliates within the graphite community. This is to ensure that you are kept informed about relevant opportunities, initiatives, and updates that may be of interest to you. Your email will only be used for these specific purposes and will not be shared for any other reasons.

Please be aware that all data, including personal data collected during the registration process, is processed and stored in the United Kingdom. This is in line with our commitment to ensure the highest standards of data security and compliance. The data processing and storage in the UK are conducted in full compliance with the GDPR, and all necessary measures are taken to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Your privacy is of utmost importance to us, and you have the right to control how your personal information is used. If you have any concerns or would like to opt out of having your information shared for future graphite related events or similar purposes, please do not hesitate to contact us at the conference email address: confer@globalnet.co.uk. Your preferences will be respected and applied immediately upon receipt of your request.

By participating in the 7° EDF conference, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this Data Protection Statement. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain the integrity and confidentiality of your personal data.

FORCE MAJEURE

Recent years have seen unprecedented world events with the potential to disrupt international conferences. In such unpredictable circumstances, the organising committee will make every effort to proceed with this event. In the event of forced cancellation by the organising committee, especially through circumstances beyond our control, efforts will be made to refund a proportion of registration fees as available once unavoidable debts incurred in preparing the conference have been met.
