Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 July 2026

1. Controller

The controller responsible for processing personal data on this website is:

Yaka 5 GmbH, Klingerstr. 10, 51143 Köln, Germany.
Email: e-contact@africabusinessforum.eu

2. What data we process, and why

We process personal data only as needed to run the Africa Business Forum event and operate this website:

3. Processors and recipients

We use carefully selected service providers who process data on our behalf under data-processing agreements:

Some providers may process data outside the EU/EEA (for example in the USA). Where that happens, transfers are safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

4. Cookies and local storage

The website stores a small preference (your chosen language) and, in the portal, your login session in your browser's local storage. These are strictly necessary for the site and portal to function. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

5. Retention

We keep registration and account data for as long as needed to run the event and to meet legal obligations (e.g. tax and accounting), after which we delete or anonymise it.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, contact e-contact@africabusinessforum.eu.

7. Contact

Questions about this policy or your data: e-contact@africabusinessforum.eu.
