\n TL;DR:<\/strong>\n

Event organizers should not automatically share attendees’ personal data with sponsors. They need a lawful basis for processing and should clearly explain the purpose of sharing, what information will be shared, and how attendees can exercise their applicable rights.<\/p>\n

So the answer is:\nYes, event organizers may share attendee data with sponsors in certain circumstances, but registration alone does not automatically give sponsors unrestricted access to attendee personal data.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What happens when an event sponsor asks for access to attendee information collected during registration?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsors may want attendee details for networking, lead generation, follow-up communication, or marketing, but organizers need to consider how that information can be used and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendee information collected during registration is personal data when it relates to an identifiable individual. Sharing that information with sponsors, therefore, needs to be considered carefully, based on the purpose of sharing, the applicable legal basis, and what attendees were told during registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) sets<\/strong> requirements for processing digital personal data, while the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025<\/strong> provide additional requirements around notice, security, and other data-processing practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll cover when attendee data can be shared with sponsors, what organizers should tell attendees, how consent applies, what sponsors can and cannot do with the data, and how organizers can manage sponsor data access responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n
