Privacy policy
How Green Hydrogen Network (Africa) handles information when you use this website, contact us, or register for events.
Last updated: 3 June 2026
Green Hydrogen Network (Africa) (“GHNA”, “we”, “us”, “our”) runs this website to share information about green hydrogen across Africa—our programmes, policy work, events, partner opportunities, and the Women in Green Hydrogen (WIGH) initiative.
This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use the site, why we collect it, and how we look after it.
Who we are
The organisation named at the top of this website is responsible for personal data submitted through it. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, use our Contact page or the email address published there.
What you can do without giving us your details
Most of the site is open to read: About us, programmes, policy hub, news and events, spotlights, photo galleries, and partner information. You do not need an account to browse these pages.
Information we collect
Contact form
When you write to us, we collect your name, email address, and message. We may also use technical checks (such as a security token, a short verification step, and timing checks) to reduce spam and abuse. Messages are stored so our team can read and reply to you. Where enabled, we send a brief acknowledgement email.
Event registration
When you register for an event listed on this site, we collect the details you enter on the form. This typically includes your name, email, phone number (if you provide it), age bracket, gender (if you choose to provide it), nationality, country of residence, organisation, job title, language preferences, how you heard about the event, and whether you will attend in person or online. You may also choose whether to receive future conference-related emails from us.
Website assistant
The on-page guide answers questions using public content from this website. Your messages are handled in your browser session to generate replies. We do not use the assistant to build marketing profiles or sell your data.
Technical information
Like most websites, we use essential session storage so forms work securely. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (for example IP address, browser type, and pages visited) for a limited time to keep the site safe and fix problems.
How we use your information
We use personal information to:
• respond to enquiries and route partnership, media, or programme questions to the right people;
• manage event registrations and communicate about events you sign up for;
• send optional confirmation or acknowledgement emails where those features are turned on;
• protect the website from misuse;
• meet legal obligations where they apply.
We do not sell your personal information.
How long we keep it
We keep contact messages and event registrations only for as long as we need them—to handle your enquiry, run the event, keep reasonable records, or resolve a dispute—unless the law requires us to keep them longer. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security.
Who we share information with
We may share information with:
• colleagues or partners who need it to respond to you or run an event;
• service providers that host the website or deliver email on our behalf;
• authorities when the law requires it.
If information is processed in another country, we take reasonable steps to keep it protected.
Cookies
This site uses essential session cookies so pages and forms work securely. We do not use this public website to track you across other sites for advertising. You can manage cookies in your browser settings; turning off essential cookies may stop some features from working.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No online transmission is completely secure, so please only share what you are comfortable sending through the web.
Your rights
Depending on the laws that apply where you live, you may be able to ask us to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent where we rely on it. You may also complain to a data-protection authority. Contact us via the Contact page—we may need to confirm your identity first.
Children
This website is aimed at professionals and the general public interested in green hydrogen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without proper authority. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, please contact us.
Links to other sites
Our pages may link to social media, partner organisations, or external event platforms. Those sites have their own privacy rules—we are not responsible for them.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Please check back occasionally for the latest version.
