How we handle your data
Short version: we ask for the minimum we need to send you the session details and (rarely) tell you about the next one. We don't sell your data, and you can have it deleted in one email.
What we collect
When you register for a session, we ask for:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your country
- Your phone number (with country code)
- Your role / experience / company — optional, helps us know who we're building for
- Where you heard about us — optional
We also automatically log a hashed version of your IP address and your browser's user agent, used only for spam and abuse prevention (never tied to your profile).
What we do with it
- Email you the session details — confirmation, reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before, and a personal access link to the live session or venue details
- Run the session itself — your registration controls access to live streams and seats
- Understand our audience — aggregate counts of countries, roles, and experience levels guide what we run next; no individual profiling
- Newsletter (separate opt-in) — only if you subscribed via the newsletter form; you can unsubscribe in one click from any newsletter email
Who sees it
Edler Hub, and the third-party services we use to deliver the platform:
- Brevo — emails confirmations + reminders + newsletter. Stores your name, email, and any optional fields. Brevo privacy policy
- Cloudflare — DNS + WAF + Turnstile bot-check. Sees your IP for the duration of the page load. Cloudflare privacy
- Hostinger (the VPS host) — provides the server that runs the site and database; standard hosting privacy applies
We do not share registrant data with session speakers or partners unless you opt in to that explicitly at registration.
Cookies
The public site uses no tracking or advertising cookies. The only cookie set on the public side is a Cloudflare Turnstile token to confirm you're a human submitting a form. Admin users get a session cookie (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax) used purely to keep them logged in.
How long we keep it
For as long as you want to hear from us. Reply to any of our emails with "remove me" and we delete you the same day. You can also use the deletion endpoint at any time — email hello@techsessions.live with the email address you registered with.
Aggregate, anonymised counts (e.g. "number of registrants from each country in 2026") may be retained for reporting after deletion of personal data.
Your rights
Under India's DPDPA, the EU's GDPR, and similar laws elsewhere, you have the right to: see what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, and object to its use. We action all such requests within 30 days; usually same-day for deletion. Email hello@techsessions.live to exercise any of these rights.
Recordings
Some sessions are recorded (online ones, usually); some aren't (in-person workshops, for example). If a session is recorded and you join with mic or camera on, you're consenting to be in that recording. Lurk in chat or stay off camera if you'd rather not.
Questions
Email hello@techsessions.live — a real person reads it.
