(Last Updated: March 2026)

This Privacy Policy explains how G3ict – Global Initiative for Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies, Inc. (“G3ict”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects personal information in connection with the M‑Enabling Summit website, event registration, and related services.

This policy applies to information collected through the M‑Enabling Summit website, registration systems, and event participation.

Registration Platform (Cvent)

Registration for the M‑Enabling Summit is hosted on the Cvent event management platform. When you register for the conference, your personal information is collected and processed through Cvent’s secure systems.

Cvent acts as a service provider to facilitate event registration, payment processing, attendee management, and event logistics.

Cvent’s privacy practices are governed by its own privacy policy available at:

We may collect the following categories of personal information:

• Contact information (name, email address, phone number)
• Professional information (organization, job title)
• Mailing or billing address
• Payment information processed through secure third‑party payment processors
• Event participation information
• Accessibility or accommodation requests voluntarily provided
• Website usage data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited)

How We Use Personal Information

Personal information may be used to:

• Register and manage conference attendance
• Process event payments
• Provide conference services and communications
• Provide requested accessibility accommodations
• Improve conference programming and attendee experience

Data Sharing

G3ict does not sell attendee personal information.

These vendors are contractually required to safeguard personal information and may only use the data to perform services on our behalf.

Exhibitor and Sponsor Lead Retrieval
