I disagree with this assessment. You have passed them reasonable data to prove attendance and international participation. Passing on initials and country of origin is not selling anything. I have organized conference with up to a few tousands of participants, and every funding organization expect these kind of data. All find, don't let the voices of the privacy-maniacs disturb you. They should stay in their High Castle and never leave.
