Privacy Policy

The Department of Information & Communications Technology (DICT) is committed to protecting the privacy of all individuals who interact with the Digital Transformation Summit (DTS) website and its associated registration and delegate systems.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, and how we protect it. By using this website or registering as a delegate, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

We collect information you provide directly when you register for the summit, subscribe to updates, submit enquiries, or complete any form on this website. This may include your full name, job title, organisation, email address, phone number, postal address, nationality, and delegate category.

We also collect technical information automatically when you visit this website, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected using standard web server logs and analytics tools.

Personal information collected through this website is used to process delegate registrations, issue accreditation and access passes, communicate programme updates and logistics, manage summit operations, and respond to enquiries.

Aggregated, anonymised data may be used to improve the website and future editions of the summit. We do not use your personal information for commercial marketing purposes, nor do we sell it to third parties.

This website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate essential functions, remember your preferences, and analyse site usage. Essential cookies are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors engage with the site and are set only with your consent.

You may control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of parts of this website.

We may share your information with accredited summit partners, co-organisers, and service providers who support the delivery of DTS 2026, including venue management, registration platforms, and broadcast partners. All third parties are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

We may also disclose information where required by Papua New Guinea law, a court order, or a lawful request from a government authority. We will not disclose more information than is necessary in such circumstances.

Personal information collected through delegate registration is retained for a period of three years following the summit, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised unless a longer retention period is required by law.

You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us at the address below, subject to any legal obligations that require us to retain certain records.

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your data, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and lodge a complaint with the relevant authority in Papua New Guinea.
