What information do we ask for?

At this time, we solely ask for the first name and business email of persons who are interested in receiving our Newsletter. No other personal data is collected.

This occasionally will include information about Podcast Interviews with Digital Leaders, Special Events or In-House Trainings and Case Studies.
