We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, contact details, company information, professional profile, application answers, and newsletter subscription details.

We also receive basic technical and usage information, including browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from an IP address, and interactions with site features.

• Operate, secure, and improve our websites and events.
• Review speaker, startup, investor, partner, and other event applications.

• Meet legal, safety, and fraud-prevention obligations.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our websites use browser storage, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for essential functions, remembering preferences, analytics, and site support. The cookie notice acknowledgement is stored in your browser so we do not show the same notice on every visit.

You can clear or restrict cookies and browser storage through your browser settings. Restricting them may affect some site features.

We use service providers to operate parts of our websites and events. These may include Typeform for applications, Mailchimp for newsletters, Google Tag Manager and related analytics tools for measurement, Intercom for support, hosting providers, and embedded media services. These providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

Sharing and retention

We may share information with service providers, event partners where appropriate to deliver an event service, professional advisers, or authorities when legally required. We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including event operations, recordkeeping, security, and legal obligations.
