When you are filling the forms on the website, make sure to check if there is a box which you can leave unchecked, if you don’t want to disclose your personal information. 

If you do not want any photographs or video recordings of yourself published or stored anywhere, it would be best if you did not attend our events because we will not be able to restrict taking photographs or video recordings based on consent.
