From what I understand, agreeing to that clause could mean that the
person registering for the event agrees to having his/her personal
data shared with a list of sponsors. I don't know what the sponsors
will do with that information. I prefer not to agree to such a
clause as I I do not wish to have my personal data used for marketing purposes.
I would like to ask you for some advice as you are a web
developer. Please note that you are not obliged to give me that
advice for free. Is it appropriate to use a checkbox where the only
state allowed ob (form) submission is for the checkbox to be ticked?
Regards,
