Privacy and personal data

Conference 1 data are separated by purpose and access role. The public programme is never a container for reviews, conflicts, private contact details, payment data, or confidential support requests.

We process only data needed for a specific conference function, with restricted access and separation of incompatible purposes.

Five separate data domains

  • scholarly review
  • registration and financial data
  • confidential accessibility and support
  • public programme
  • marketing/news only on a separate valid basis or consent

Never exported to the public programme

  • reviews and scores
  • conflicts of interest
  • private contact details
  • payment data
  • health or accessibility/support data
  • confidential accommodation or support requests

Retention

  • public metadata for accepted work may remain as a long-term scholarly archive with a correction process
  • rejected-submission data, reviews, and conflicts are retained only for a limited justified period
  • accounting records follow applicable statutory periods
  • accessibility/support data are deleted promptly after the operational or legal need ends
  • recording consent is retained with the permitted archived use

Marketing and recording

  • Conference registration is not consent to marketing communications.
  • Livestream, recording, archive, public web release, slides, and photography are separate rights/consent dimensions.
  • Conference 1 does not default to automatic recording of every event.
