Privacy

1. Who is responsible

DataTalks.Club, Schönensche Str. 13, 10439 Berlin, Germany, represented by Alexey Grigorev. Contact: alexey@datatalks.club.

2. What this site stores when you join a shortlist

Your email address; the track you chose; the date and time; the page you signed up on; the campaign parameters in the link you followed (utm_*) and the referring page; your browser language; and, if you answer them, the two optional questions (where you are based, how you would pay). Not stored: your IP address, your browser details, cookies.

3. Why, and on what legal basis

To write to you about this program and its application, and to decide which track to run. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by submitting the form. You can withdraw it at any time by writing to alexey@datatalks.club or using the unsubscribe link in any email; this does not affect processing before the withdrawal.

4. Page-view counts

The site counts page views per page and campaign in aggregate (a daily number per page and campaign). These counts contain no personal data and no identifier for you or your device. The site sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device.

5. Who processes the data

Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL stores the shortlist in the EU (Ireland, region eu-west-1) and runs the service that receives the form. GitHub, Inc. (USA) hosts this static site through GitHub Pages. Both process your IP address and browser details in their server logs to deliver the pages and to keep the service secure. These logs are not linked to your shortlist entry. Emails are sent through Amazon SES.

GitHub and Amazon are US companies or belong to one. Where data reaches the USA, the transfer is covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or by the EU standard contractual clauses.

After you join, the page offers a link to a survey in Google Forms (Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC). The link carries your email address and the track you chose, so that you don't have to type them again. They reach Google only if you click the link. Google then processes them, and what you enter in the survey, under its own terms.

6. How long

Until the first cohort has been filled or the plan is dropped, and at most 24 months after you signed up, unless you ask for deletion earlier.

7. Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR), and the right to complain to a supervisory authority, for example the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit.
