Why we need your data
We need your data to effectively manage and organise the conference. This includes making sure:
- you have a government email address and are eligible to attend the pre-conference day. We may contact you to confirm your eligibility
- we can share your names with on-site security to allow you access to our places of work or venue hires
- the training or event is accessible and caters to everyone’s needs as much as possible including those with disabilities
- we have your details as part of our duty of care to you, to make sure you arrive and are able to attend

- we can suggest services by our partners before and after the conference (we will not share your data with our partners)
- you can connect with other attendees

How long we retain your data
We will share your data if we’re required to do so by law – for example, by court order, or to prevent fraud or other crime.
We will only keep your personal data for as long as:
- the law requires us to
- we need for the purposes listed above
This means that we will hold your personal data for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 2 years.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
