Privacy and Terms

Privacy

This explains what we collect through this website and what we do with it. The first headings below (what we collect, why, who sees it and how long we keep it) are about the DMC 2026 sponsorship form. Later headings cover joining MAN, buying a ticket, shared links, photos and flyers, the companies that help us run the site, and website visits.

What we collect

Your company name, website (if given), your name, role (if given), email address, phone or WhatsApp number, the sponsorship tier you pick, and the areas of the event you are interested in.

Why we collect it

To reply to your sponsorship enquiry, send you the sponsor pack, and talk with you about DMC 2026. We do not use it for anything else.

Who sees it

Only the MAN team working on DMC 2026 sponsorships and partnerships. We do not sell your information or share it with other companies for their marketing.

How long we keep it

For up to 12 months after DMC 2026, then we delete it. If you ask us to delete it sooner, we will. The ticket order and shared link records described below are deleted automatically by 21 November 2027.

Joining MAN

If you choose to join the Marketers & Advertisers Network, we use the details you give us to set up your membership, add you to our community channels, and tell you about MAN events and opportunities. Submitting the sponsorship form does not make you a member. You can leave MAN at any time, and ask us to delete your details, by emailing us.

Buying a ticket

Tickets are sold by MojoPay (MojoTickets), the official ticketing platform for DMC 2026. When you choose to buy a ticket, MojoPay's checkout opens in a window on this site, or in a new tab. You give your details and pay there. MojoPay, not MAN, collects and handles them under its own privacy policy. We do not see your card or mobile money details, and the checkout does not pass your name or contact details back to us. A mobile money payment may take you to MojoPay's own page to approve it.

When an order is started from this site, we keep a short record of it: the order reference MojoPay gives it, the referral code and campaign labels that brought you to the site (for example "instagram"), the page you were on, whether you were using a phone, a computer or an app's built-in browser, and the time. We use it to see which posts and partners bring ticket buyers, and to check our numbers against MojoPay's sales records. It has no name, contact or payment details, but the order reference can be matched to your order in MojoPay's records. A started order is not the same as a paid order.

Shared links

Some links we and our partners share on social media and WhatsApp go through a short address on this site, such as mangh.org/t/abc1234. When you open one, we record the link's code, the time, and whether you used a phone, a computer or an app's built-in browser, and then send you on to the DMC 2026 page. The address you land on carries a referral code and campaign labels: who shared the link, which platform and what type of post. We do not record your IP address, name or accounts in this record, and we do not count link-preview robots.

Your browser keeps the referral code and labels for the length of your visit, in the tab's session storage and not in a cookie. If you start a ticket order during that visit, they go into the order record above, so we can tell which link led to it. This does not depend on the cookie notice because it uses no cookies. Our hosting provider still handles your IP address to deliver any page, as every website host does.

Photos, names and flyers

If you use Make Your Flyer, the name, role and photo you enter stay on your own device to draw your flyer. They are not sent to us. For speakers, hosts, partners and our team, we show the names, roles, photos and logos that they or their organisations have given us for DMC 2026. Our team also uses a private tool to make promotional pictures. It keeps another person's photo only after the person adding it confirms that they have permission, and it keeps it until we remove it. You can ask us to correct or remove yours at any time.

DMC Live, at the event

If you use mangh.org/live during DMC 2026 there is no account or login. Your phone keeps a random code and the first name you type, only on your phone. We store a scrambled (hashed) version of the code, so that one phone cannot vote twice, and delete it 30 days after the event. What you send (a word, a question, a poll answer, a line for the Build Wall, a takeaway) is shown on the big screen or on other phones only after our team has approved it, with your first name or "Anonymous". Quote cards are drawn on your phone and are not uploaded. For a "My takeaway" card we receive its text, your first name and a small preview picture, so the team can check it before anything is shown. If you tick the box to get your What I Built card, we keep the email or LinkedIn handle you give us, to send you that card, and delete it 90 days after the event. We use it for nothing else.

Companies that help us run the site

We use Vercel to host this website and run its back end, and Upstash to store the ticket order, shared link and photo records described above. We use Google for Google Analytics and for Google Forms and Google Apps Script, which receive the answers from our sponsorship and joining forms. MojoPay handles tickets and payments. Some of their servers are outside Ghana, so your information may be processed in other countries. We do not sell your information.

Website visits

We use Google Analytics to count visits to this website and see which pages and shared flyer links bring people to it. Until you accept the cookie notice it uses no cookies and only receives anonymous page-view counts, along with the technical details any web request carries, such as your IP address, which Google uses to estimate your location and does not store. If you accept, it also uses cookies to recognise repeat visits. It does not see your sponsorship form answers, and we do not use it to identify you. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer.

Your rights

Under Ghana's Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) you can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Email us and we will respond. If your question is about a ticket order record, include the order reference from your MojoPay receipt so we can find it.

• Please give accurate information and only submit details you are allowed to share, including a colleague's contact details.
