Information we process
When you submit an event enquiry, we process the details you enter: your name, organisation, email address, event date, city, audience size, keynote interest and event brief. We also process limited technical information needed to secure and operate the form, including your IP address, submission time and a unique submission identifier.
How the information is used
Your enquiry details are used only to deliver the enquiry to Matthew, respond to you, discuss the proposed event and protect the form from spam, duplicate submissions and abuse. This website does not use the information for automated decision-making or sell it to third parties.
Client-side form and copy features
The enquiry form checks the required name, organisation and email fields in your browser before it sends a submission. The media-kit biography copy buttons retrieve the same approved plain-text biography offered as a download and place it on your device’s clipboard; the website does not read other clipboard content.
Service providers and data flow
The website and form are hosted by Cloudflare. On submission, a Cloudflare Pages Function validates the form and sends the enquiry through AgentMail, the email-delivery provider, to Matthew’s email inbox. Cloudflare stores one-way hashes of the submitting IP address, email address and submission identifier for rate limiting and duplicate protection; the enquiry text itself is not stored in that abuse-control database. Cloudflare and AgentMail may process technical and message data in the countries where they operate, subject to their own security and privacy terms.
Retention
Rate-limit records are retained for approximately one hour for IP-address controls and 24 hours for email-address controls. Duplicate-submission records are retained for 24 hours. The delivered enquiry email is retained only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, manage the event relationship and meet applicable legal or record-keeping obligations, after which it is deleted. Service-provider operational and security logs may be retained for the periods set by those providers.
Your choices and deletion requests
You may ask to access, correct or delete the personal information in an enquiry by emailing matthew.michalewicz@gmail.com. Please identify the enquiry and the email address used to submit it. We will act on verified requests unless retention is required by law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Cookies and analytics
This website does not set marketing or analytics cookies. It records privacy-safe, first-party conversion events—keynote enquiry clicks, media-kit downloads, book clicks and successful enquiry submissions—to understand whether the site is useful. These events contain the page path, action type and, where relevant, the selected keynote topic or destination; they do not contain your name, email address, organisation, event brief or event date. Daily aggregate event counts are retained for up to 400 days in Cloudflare KV, and operational event logs may be retained for the period set by Cloudflare. Essential network and security processing may also occur when you request a page or submit the form.
