  • ticket holder name – to determine who should we give the ticket to
  • email – to send purchase-related information and any updates regarding purchase (stuff like “we have chosen this nice BBQ menu for the event after-party, is it OK with you or do you prefer vegan?”)
  • company name & address – to issue a formal invoice, if the ticket is purchased by an entity who needs an invoice for their bookkeeping

Cookies

We really like cookies, especially chocolate-chip.

On our website, we try to avoid saving information to visitor’s device (a.k.a. cookies). That’s why we do not use Google Analytics, you can’t comment in our e-shop or create an account.

But we still need to use a couple session-related cookies to help you add items to your cart and complete your purchase. These are:

  • woocommerce_cart_hash
  • woocommerce_items_in_cart
  • wp_woocommerce_session_

We do not use these cookies to track you, sell your data to third parties, or for absolutely anything else bsides completing your purchase.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data with third parties, except when this is necessary for completing your purchase (for example, sending your T-shirt size to our supplier or your phone number to parcel delivery service provider) or when we are required to do so by law (for example, tax declarations).

How long we retain your data

We focus on our annual BSides Tallinn event, all our operations are related to that. Therefore we will retain your data until the annual event is over. After that we consider our services rendered and we will delete your data.

There is an exception to this rule: if you’ve opted in to receiveing email notifications about events, then we will retain your email address for future to send you updates.

At any moment, you may request a full report about the data that we have about you.

Also, you may take back your consent for receiving informational messages via email.
