HackGBGay Platform - Privacy

Overview

This platform is made by hackers and privacy-minded nerds, it doesn't store more data about you than it has to. Note that this policy only describes the hack.gbgay.com digital event platform and not the membership of the HackGBGay organisation (become a member today!)

Data Stored:



Data usage:
What little data we collect is only used to make the event function and will not be used for any advertisment, profiling, or other purposes. We will never willingly give any third party access to your data.

Data storage:
The platform is hosted on a physical server in an apartment located in Sweden. The traffic is proxied through a digitalocean VPS (in the Netherlands) and TLS is used between both browser and VPS and Server.

Data retention:
We only hold your data as long as we need in relation to the conference event. After the event the platform will be taken offline and personal information removed from the database. We reserve the right to keep certain anonymized metadata from the platform as to better plan future events. Examples of such data is: number of atendees, which challenges were solved and how many times they were solved.

On the topic of sending you emails:
Those who choose to register with an email address (which is completely optional) may recieve emails before the event if the HackGBGay team feels the need to send out practical updates and relevant logistics information regarding the event. The HackGBGay team may also send out an email after the event requesting feedback and ask follow-up questions.

Your rights

In accordance with data protection laws such as GDPR you have the right to have your data updated if its incorrect or deleted should you no longer wish to attend. To exercise those rights please reach out to gbgay+dataprivacy@proton.me with the email you registered with (if provided). If you registered without setting an email we may need to use alternative methods of authenticating that the account belongs to you.

You (as the data-subject) also have the right to lodge a complaint against HackGBGay (org-nummer: 802550-5903) with Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) if you believe that the organisation has failed to live up to its obligations as outlined in This guide from IMY





I really hope this covers everything but if you have any questions regarding this just ask!
