Tick Tech Talks UG (haftungsbeschränkt) ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data when you use our website, buy tickets, register as an attendee, pick up your badge, or sign up for the newsletter. It covers gophercon.eu and our ticketing service at tickets.gophercon.eu.
We do not collect or process any personal data directly on our website. We do not use cookies, and we do not display any advertisements. Embedded YouTube players and the newsletter sign-up box are loaded from YouTube and Substack and are subject to their privacy policies.
Ticket sales, attendee registration, ticket delivery and badge pickup for GopherCon Europe + HeyAI 2027 (14-17 June 2027, Umweltforum Berlin) run on our own ticketing service at tickets.gophercon.eu. We wrote it and we run it. It has no analytics and sets no cookies for buyers or attendees. The only cookie is a sign-in cookie for our door team at the venue.
You pay on a Stripe payment link. Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Dublin, Ireland) processes the payment and issues the invoice on our behalf. Stripe processes the buyer's name, email address, billing address and payment data. Stripe is the only party that sees card data. We do not store card data. After payment, Stripe notifies our server. Our server stores the order (buyer name, email address, billing address, invoice number and amount, ticket type and number of tickets) and emails the buyer the invoice PDF and one registration link per ticket. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract). We keep invoice and order data for 10 years under § 147 AO and § 257 HGB. Stripe's privacy policy: stripe.com/en-de/privacy.
Each attendee opens their registration link and enters their name, company or employer, email address and the country where they work. We store these four details with the ticket. Name and company are printed on the badge. The attendee then receives a ticket PDF with a QR code by email. If buyer and attendee are different people, the buyer is in CC of the ticket email. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The registration form also asks for company size, job title, years of Go experience, years of AI experience, tech stack and which conference days you plan to attend. These answers are stored without any link to you or your ticket. We use them only for anonymous statistics and for the headcount per day. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in planning the event and reporting on it in anonymous form).
The optional "special requests" field (for example dietary needs or accessibility) is stored with the ticket and used only for catering and accessibility planning. By filling it in you consent to this use under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and under Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where the text reveals health data. You can withdraw this consent at any time by email to team+privacy@gophercon.eu. We then delete the entry.
The registration form has an optional checkbox to subscribe to the GopherCon Europe newsletter on Substack. We store only the yes/no flag with the ticket. If you tick it, we import your email address into Substack. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You can withdraw at any time by email to team+privacy@gophercon.eu or with the unsubscribe link in every newsletter.
At the venue, our staff open the QR link of your ticket and record the badge pickup with a timestamp and the name of the staff member who scanned it. Staff can export CSV lists of attendees for badge printing and for the attendance records. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in running the event and keeping attendance records).
Attendee data (name, company, email address, country, badge pickup) is kept for the attendance records and deleted at the latest 12 months after the event. Invoice and order data is kept for 10 years as described above. Anonymous statistics contain no personal data and are kept.
These companies process data on our behalf under data processing agreements:
If you sign up for our newsletter, Substack, a third-party platform, processes your email address for the purpose of sending you our newsletters. We do not store your newsletter subscription on our servers, apart from the yes/no flag from the registration form described above. Substack's privacy policy: substack.com/privacy.
Emails sent to us are stored on Gmail, a service provided by Google, including replies to ticket and registration emails.
Talk submissions are handled on Sessionize. Accepted speakers receive a Google Form to confirm participation, sent as a message over the Sessionize platform. Sessionize's privacy policy: sessionize.com/privacy-policy.
We photograph and film the event and publish the material, including talk recordings on YouTube. Tell us at the registration desk or by email if you prefer not to appear in photos.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability, each within the limits of the law. Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. To exercise these rights or for any concern about your data, contact us at team+privacy@gophercon.eu. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in our case the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit.
