Privacy Policy

We respect your personal data.

Personal Information

Under no circumstances do we sell, rent, or distribute your personal information (including your email address, name, or anything else you have entered in your profile) to third parties. Only our system administrators and support team have access to your information. You can edit and delete any information at any time, from your profile page .

We have endeavored to make sure that we ask for as little personal information as possible throughout the site, both for presenters and simple participants.

Presenters are invited to provide additional personal information, part of which will become public (for example: full biography). The submission entry form explains what data will be published and what data will be kept private, and each presenter can preview his/ her public page before it is made accessible, and can edit its contents at any time.

Participants may possibly agree to post their profile page to other PyCon Italy participants to help with contacts during the event.

Guarantee no SPAM

We will not sell or rent your email to other entities. We respect your choices.

If you sign up for our newsletter or mailing list, your email address will be used only to send the list messages, and will not be used or shared in any other way. You can unsubscribe at any time by following the link at the bottom of each message.

If you agree to receive job offers from those sponsors who are looking for staff, no personal information (including name and email address) will be shared with these sponsors: all messages will go through our systems to protect your privacy. You can revoke consent at any time from your profile page .

Removal of information

If you want to delete your account and all information, you must email us with your request.

Our staff will delete your data from all files, database records, and backups. You will be notified at the end of the process. The information cannot be restored later.

The only exception to the complete deletion of data is invoices: if you bought something on our site, we are legally required to keep invoices for 5 years after they are issued.

Grants - GDPR

PyCon Italia is considered to be the data controller under the Data Protection Regulation (EU) No. 2016/679 (GDPR). All event organizers are required to declare their compliance with the GDPR rules and regulations.

Dear Applicant,
we inform you, as required by the European Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of personal data of natural persons, that the data you provide by filling out the Google grant application form will be processed exclusively by our financial aid team for the selection of scholarship recipients and the processing of financial aid reimbursements. No data is passed on to third parties except to our accountants, the bank for reimbursement processing, and the embassy. We use Google Forms for processing and Google Drive for information storage.

By applying for the grant request, you authorize us to use your biographical information, such as your full name, age, city or residential address, contact information such as a phone number, or e-mail address, and personal information such as a passport, to enable us to collect requests (including yours), to organize the event, and to manage post-event activities.

Consent to the use of your personal information is always optional. In this case, however, without your permission we will not be able to handle your application and participation in the event. For this reason, consent is implied in your registration and you provide it to us when you press the submit button.

You may be asked in the application form or later by email by someone from our organizing staff for other information such as your passport. By requesting a grant you authorize us to use this information so that we can securely handle your request.

Your personal information will be shared with some organizers who volunteer their time to the event, again for the purpose of properly managing your participation. In particular, your contact information, such as your phone number or email, will be used by our financial aid team to be able to assist you in the grant and visa application stages.

Your data will also be stored digitally by Python Italia APS, in compliance with the security measures provided by the GDPR. We will keep them for as long as it is useful for the organization of the event, post-event activities and in any case no longer than 5 years.

Even if you have provided us with your consent, if you change your mind you can always later request rectification, deletion or restriction of the use of your data by making a request to the Data Controller (see below).

If you wish to delete your account and all the information in it, you must email us at privacy@python.it. Be sure to include information proving your identity when you request deletion of your information.

Our staff will delete your data from all files, database records, and backups. You will be notified when the process is complete, and keep in mind that the information cannot be restored later.

The only case in which data will not be deleted concerns invoices and accounting data: if you purchased something on our website, we are legally obliged to keep the invoices for at least 5 years after the conference

The Data Controller of the collected data is Python Italia APS,S. Quirico 233/2, 50013 Campi Bisenzio (FI), privacy@python.it.

Should we need to process your personal data for purposes other than those we have outlined so far, we will contact you to give you all the necessary information and to ask for your consent for that specific purpose.

We do not intentionally collect information about minors. If you are under 13 years old and provide us with your personal information by making a request, we cannot process your information.

Instead, please note that if you submit your request, are over 13 years old but not yet of age, you may join us but we will require that consent to process your information be provided to us by one of your parents or legal guardian, along with consent to your participation in the event.
