This notice explains which personal data we process when you visit this website, buy a ticket, speak at or sponsor the Data Conference Switzerland, and what rights you have. It is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

For any question about your data, or to use your rights, write to us at this address.
This website
Hosting. The website is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub Inc. in the USA. When you open a page, GitHub processes technical data such as your IP address, browser and the time of access, to deliver the page and keep the service secure.
Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC in the USA and Google Ireland Ltd., to understand how visitors use the website, for example which pages are read most. Google receives information such as your shortened IP address, device and browser, and the pages you visit, and sets cookies for this purpose. You can block these cookies in your browser settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Tickets
Tickets are sold through Eventfrog, a Swiss ticketing service. When you buy a ticket, Eventfrog processes your name, email address, payment details and ticket information under its own privacy policy, and shares your name, email address and ticket details with us. We use them to organise the conference, check you in on the day and send you information about the event.
Sponsors
When you buy a ticket, you can choose to receive information from our sponsors. Only if you agree, we share your name and email address with them. You can also agree later by writing to us. You can withdraw your agreement at any time, and you can ask us and the sponsors to delete your contact details.
Speakers
The call for speakers runs on Sessionize, a service based in the European Union. Speakers submit their name, contact details, biography, photo, social media links and session details there. For selected speakers, we publish the name, photo, job title, biography, social media links and session details on this website and in our communication about the conference, also after the event on the pages of past editions. Speakers can ask us at any time to change or remove this information.
Photos and videos
We take photos and videos at the conference and use them on this website, on social media and in other material that promotes the conference. If you do not want to be photographed, please tell the photographer or any organiser on the day. If you find a photo of yourself that you want removed, write to us and we will take it down.
How long we keep data
We keep attendee data for as long as we need it to organise the conference and handle any questions afterwards, and as long as the law requires us to keep it. Then we delete it. Published speaker profiles and conference photos stay on the pages of past editions unless you ask us to remove them.
Data outside Switzerland
Some of the services above process data in the European Union or the USA. The European Union offers an adequate level of data protection. For the USA, the providers rely on the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework or on standard contractual clauses.
Your rights
You can ask us what data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to its processing, withdraw any consent you gave, and receive your data in a common format. Write to marketing@data-conference.ch. If you think we handle your data incorrectly, you can complain to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), www.edoeb.admin.ch.
