This privacy policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you use our website.
Controller
The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is Python Austria – Verein zur Förderung der Programmiersprache Python, Vienna, Austria. Contact details are in the legal notice.
Third-party content on our website
Our website does not load fonts, icons, scripts or images from third-party servers. Two kinds of content are the exception. They are loaded only after you click a button on the page. Until then, your browser does not connect to the provider, and the provider receives no data from you.
The link to our registration form leads to an external page hosted by C3W (see "Registration form" below). Your data is only transmitted after you click this link.
YouTube videos
Some pages show videos from YouTube. Instead of the video, you first see a notice with the button "Load video" and a plain link to the video on YouTube. If you click the button, your browser connects to the privacy-enhanced domain youtube-nocookie.com of YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The provider then receives at least your IP address and the information that you visited this page. Depending on your settings, YouTube may store further data on your device. We have no influence on this processing. Details are in Google's Privacy Policy. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by clicking the button. If you do not click, you can watch the video on YouTube by using the plain link.
Route planner
The page "Arrival" contains a public transport route planner of Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region (VOR) GesmbH (anachb.vor.at). The widget is loaded only after you click the button "Load route planner". Then your browser connects to the servers of the provider, which receives at least your IP address and the route data you enter. Details are in the privacy policy of the provider at anachb.vor.at. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Without the widget, you can open the route planner directly on the website of the provider.
Registration form
To sign up as an attendee, speaker or volunteer, you can use our online form. The form is hosted on a CryptPad instance (pads.c3w.at) operated by the Chaos Computer Club Wien (C3W) in Vienna, Austria. Nothing is transmitted to this server until you click the "Sign up" button and open the form.
Data processed. This is the data you enter in the form. Please only enter what the form asks for. Like any web server, the C3W server technically receives your IP address and browser information when you open the form. For details, see the privacy statement of C3W (only available in German).
Encryption. CryptPad encrypts form responses in your browser before they are sent. According to the CryptPad documentation, the server operator cannot read the content of the responses. Only members of the PyCon Austria organising team who have access to the form can read them.
Purpose and legal basis. We use your data to organise the conference: to process your registration, plan sessions and volunteer shifts, and contact you about the event. The legal basis is the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps at your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Where we ask for optional information, the legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
Recipients. The responses are accessible to the members of the organising team who need them. C3W hosts the form as a technical service provider. We do not pass your data on to other third parties.
Retention. We delete the responses no later than three months after the conference. In addition, C3W deletes pads without a linked account after at most six months.
Use of information
We use the information we collect to:
- Process your conference registration (via the registration form, see above) and manage your attendance.
- Send you important information about the conference, such as updates, schedules, and speaker announcements.
- Respond to your inquiries and requests.
- Optimize our website for a user-friendly experience.
Data retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, or until you request that we delete it. Registration data is deleted as described in the section "Registration form".
