 Our conference management system will do the following too

1) Store registered user information.
2) Provide reports on user registration.
3) Provide tickets/id cards to attendees.

OTOH doattend will not process only payments. It will do all of the above
too. If doattend is willing to process *only* payments, then it is okay.

but they are providing a complete, hosted event management system.
 Secondly, after having a second look at doattend website, I have concerns
with the privacy of the attendees. Do attend will have access to complete
information about all attendees and we do not know what they will do with
this data. Nowhere in the Terms and Conditions of doattend I can find a
promise that doattend will not sell the email and other personal information
to third parties.

Vivek
