GDPR Compliance for CtFest.org

Last Updated: April 25, 2025

CtFest.org is committed to protecting the personal data of our users, especially those in the European Union (EU), in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy outlines how we handle your data when you use our digital marketing and AI guides.

1. Data We Collect

We collect minimal data, including:

  • Personal Data: Email addresses or names (e.g., for newsletters or contact forms).
  • Non-Personal Data: Anonymized analytics data via cookies (see Cookie Policy).

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We process data based on:

  • Consent: For newsletters or non-essential cookies, with clear opt-in options.
  • Legitimate Interests: For site functionality and analytics to improve user experience.
  • Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws.

3. Your GDPR Rights

As an EU user, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data.
  • Correct inaccurate data.
  • Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Restrict or object to data processing.
  • Data portability (receive your data in a structured format).
  • Withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise these rights, email techncart@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

4. Data Security

We use SSL encryption, secure servers, and regular audits to protect your data. Third-party processors (e.g., Google Analytics) are GDPR-compliant.

5. Data Sharing

We share minimal data with trusted partners (e.g., analytics or email platforms) under GDPR-compliant agreements. We do not sell your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary (e.g., until you unsubscribe from newsletters). Analytics data is anonymized and stored indefinitely.

7. International Transfers

If data is transferred outside the EU (e.g., to U.S.-based servers), we ensure compliance via Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguards.

8. Complaints

If you believe we’ve violated GDPR, you may contact us at techncart@gmail.com or file a complaint with your local data protection authority.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this GDPR policy. Changes will be posted here with the updated date.
