### GDPR-Compliant Event Registration Form: Protect Your Attendees' Data While Growing Your Events

When you're running events across the EU, managing attendee registrations while staying GDPR-compliant can feel like walking a tightrope. You need explicit consent for photography, clear opt-ins for marketing communications, and transparent data handling—all without overwhelming your attendees or slowing down sign-ups.

This **GDPR-Compliant Event Registration Form** is designed specifically for event organisers, conference planners, and businesses hosting events in the European Union who need to collect attendee information while respecting data protection rights. Whether you're managing corporate conferences, community meetups, trade shows, or networking events, this template gives you a professional, legally sound registration process that builds trust from the first click.

#### Why GDPR Compliance Matters for Event Registration

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), collecting personal data from EU residents requires explicit, informed consent. For events, this means you can't simply assume attendees are happy to be photographed, recorded, or added to mailing lists—you need to ask permission clearly and give them real choices.

This template handles the complexity for you by including:

 - **Granular consent options** for photography, video recording, and contact list sharing
 - **Clear privacy information** that explains how attendee data will be used and stored
 - **Lawful basis documentation** that demonstrates your compliance efforts
 - **Easy opt-out mechanisms** that respect attendee preferences
 - **Secure data collection** that meets SOC 2 Type II standards through Paperform

#### What Makes This Template Different

Unlike generic registration forms that bolt on a single "I agree to terms" checkbox, this template recognises that GDPR requires **specific, unbundled consent** for different processing activities. Attendees can choose to register for your event while declining to be photographed, or they can opt into your newsletter while keeping their details private from other attendees.

This approach not only keeps you compliant—it also builds trust. When people see that you're taking their privacy seriously and giving them genuine control, they're more likely to engage with your brand and attend future events.

The form includes:

 - Essential registration fields (name, email, organisation, dietary requirements)
 - Separate, clearly worded consent requests for each processing activity
 - A comprehensive privacy notice that meets GDPR transparency requirements
 - Conditional fields that adapt based on attendee selections
 - Professional design that works seamlessly on mobile and desktop

#### Perfect for Event Professionals and Organisations

This template is ideal for:

 - **Event planners and agencies** managing conferences, workshops, and corporate events
 - **Marketing teams** running product launches, webinars, and experiential campaigns
 - **Nonprofit organisations** hosting fundraisers, galas, and community events
 - **Professional associations** organising member meetings and networking events
 - **Educational institutions** running seminars, graduation ceremonies, and open days
 - **Venues and hotels** coordinating event bookings with GDPR-compliant guest lists

If you're collecting attendee data from EU residents, this form helps you do it right—reducing legal risk while maintaining a smooth, professional registration experience.

#### How Paperform Makes GDPR Compliance Easier

Paperform is built for businesses that need to collect sensitive information securely and compliantly. With **SOC 2 Type II certification, data residency controls, and GDPR-ready features**, you can trust that your event registrations meet European data protection standards.

The doc-style editor makes it simple to customise consent language, add your event details, and match your brand—all without touching code. You can embed the form on your event website, share it via social media, or send it directly to invitees via email campaigns.

Once registrations start flowing in, you can:

 - **Export attendee lists** filtered by consent preferences (e.g., only those who agreed to photos)
 - **Sync to your CRM or email marketing tool** with native integrations or Stepper workflows
 - **Generate check-in lists** and name badges directly from submissions
 - **Send personalised confirmation emails** that reflect each attendee's choices
 - **Maintain audit trails** showing when and how consent was obtained

#### Automate Post-Registration Workflows with Stepper

After someone registers, there's usually a chain of tasks: send confirmation emails, add them to your CRM, create calendar invites, update attendee counts, and notify your team. Instead of handling this manually, you can use **[Stepper](https://stepper.io)**—Paperform's AI-native workflow builder—to automate the entire post-registration process.

For example, when a new attendee submits the form:

 1. Stepper logs their details in your event management platform
 1. Sends a branded confirmation email with event details and calendar file
 1. Adds contacts who opted in to your marketing automation tool
 1. Posts a notification to your event planning Slack channel
 1. Updates a master Google Sheet with dietary requirements for catering

All of this happens automatically, in seconds, without you lifting a finger. And because Stepper understands conditional logic, you can create different workflows based on consent choices—like only adding people to your photo database if they agreed to be photographed.

#### Designed for Trust, Flexibility, and Conversion

This template strikes the right balance between legal compliance and user experience. It doesn't overwhelm attendees with walls of legal text, but it does give them the clear, specific information GDPR requires. The consent options are presented as simple yes/no choices with helpful explanations, and the overall form flow feels natural and professional.

You can easily customise:

 - Event name, date, location, and description
 - Registration fields (add ticket types, session preferences, accessibility needs, etc.)
 - Consent language to match your specific use case
 - Privacy notice details with your organisation's information
 - Theme, fonts, colours, and images to match your event branding
 - Confirmation messages and follow-up email content

The form works beautifully as a standalone landing page or embedded directly into your existing event website, and it's fully responsive so it looks great whether attendees are registering on their phone during their commute or at their desk.

#### Built on a Platform You Can Trust

Paperform is trusted by over 500,000 teams worldwide and is **SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant**, making it a reliable foundation for collecting sensitive attendee data. The platform includes robust security features like SSO, role-based permissions, and data residency controls—perfect for organisations with strict compliance requirements.

Whether you're a solo event planner or part of a larger marketing team, Paperform gives you the tools to create professional, compliant registration forms without needing a developer or legal team on standby.
