When to use

When operating events with international attendees subject to different privacy laws
When storing attendee data for future use or analysis

Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify registration form settings.
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "People" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Registration" from the submenu.
Click on the "Form" tab at the top of the page.
Create a clear privacy statement explaining what data you collect and how it will be used.
