How we handle your data.
This is how BizTech Conf 2026 (online, 17–18 December 2026) treats your personal data. The short version: we ask for little, use it to run the event, and delete it when you ask.
Who we are
BizTech Conf is organised by the BizTech team. For anything on this page, write to biztech.contact@gmail.com.
What we collect
- When you sign up with Google: your name, email address, profile photo and your Google account ID. We never see your Google password, and we never post on your behalf.
- With your ticket: a ticket number, a username made from your name, when you signed up, what you agreed to (the exact wording and the time), and who invited you if you came through a friend's link.
- During the event: how long the hub was open while sessions were live (this is what a certificate of attendance is based on), the sessions you starred, the questions you asked, and your votes in questions and polls.
- Technical data: the address your connection comes from and basic page-view statistics, which our hosting provider and Vercel Analytics process.
Why we use it
- To give you a ticket with your name on it, and to let you back into the hub without signing in again.
- To run the event: the live stream, questions and polls, your own schedule, and your certificate.
- To count how many people came and how they found us, in totals.
- To email you, but only if you agreed (see below).
Emails
At sign-up you can agree to receive email updates from BizTech Conf: reminders about the event, your link into the hub, and news about related initiatives. We email only people who agreed. Every email can be answered with “unsubscribe”, or write to us, and you stop hearing from us.
What other people can see
- Your ticket page. If you share your ticket, anyone with its link can see your name, profile photo, username and ticket number. Nothing else.
- Your questions. A question you ask is shown with your first name and the initial of your last name.
- Your certificate. Shows your name and a certificate ID, and nothing else.
- Friends you invite. You see how many people joined through your link, not who they are.
Who else handles your data
We use a few services to run the site. They process data for us and not for their own purposes:
- Google (Firebase) for signing in and for the database that holds tickets.
- Vercel for hosting the site and for page-view statistics.
- Cloudinary, which draws your ticket image from your name and profile photo.
- YouTube and StreamYard for the live video. When the player loads, YouTube may set its own cookies.
- The tool we use to send email (currently Substack), if you agreed to emails.
Some of these services run in other countries, so your data can be processed outside the one you live in. We do not sell your data, and we do not give it to sponsors or advertisers.
Cookies and storage
biztech_attendee: keeps you signed in to the hub for 90 days. Not readable by page scripts.biztech_in: a marker that says this device has signed in, so the menu can show the Live link. It contains no personal data.- Your browser's own storage keeps the sessions you starred, and, briefly during sign-up, whether a friend invited you.
- Log out in the header clears the first two at once.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
How long we keep it
We keep your ticket and attendance record for as long as we need them to run the event and follow up on it, for example certificates and a thank-you email, and then delete or anonymise them. You can ask us to delete yours at any time.
Your choices
You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop emailing you. Write to biztech.contact@gmail.com from the address you signed up with and say what you would like. Asking for deletion removes your ticket, your starred sessions, your attendance record and your questions, and takes you off the mailing list.
Changes
If this page changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and, if you agreed to emails, tell you.
