Purpose of Data Processing

The collected data is used exclusively for the planning and organization of meetups.

Email addresses are used solely for sending notifications related to the meetup if the participant has opted in. No further processing or use of the data takes place.

Legal Basis

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. We do not sell personal data. We are committed to complying with all relevant data protection laws globally, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which provides specific rights and protections for residents of California. If you are a resident of California, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal data, although we do not engage in such practices.

Storage Duration

The data is stored as long as it is necessary to fulfill the mentioned purposes or until you request the deletion of your data. When a meetup is deleted, all associated data is also deleted. You can request the deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us.

Data Sharing with Third Parties

We use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, to enhance our website's functionality and user experience. Personal data may be shared with these service providers solely for the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. We have entered into data processing agreements with these providers to ensure the protection of your data.

Our website uses cookies to enhance user experience and analyze website traffic. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use both essential cookies (e.g., for user sessions) and non-essential cookies (e.g., for analytics purposes). You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser settings.

Web Analysis

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC ('Google'). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We have enabled IP anonymization on our website, meaning that Google truncates your IP address within the EU or EEA before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website and internet usage.

Security Measures

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access. The password you set for the meetup is securely hashed and not stored in plain text. This means we do not have access to your password and cannot view it.

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

We use AI to generate location suggestions and comments in various languages to enhance your experience. The AI-generated data is based on the information provided by participants and is used solely within the context of the meetup.
