How we handle personal data collected through this registration site.
The controller for the personal data described here is:
Full company details are in our Imprint.
We only collect what you type into this site. There is no tracking, no profiling and no automated decision-making.
| Data | When | Purpose | Legal basis | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name, company, work email, job title (optional) | Pre-registration | Registering your interest, sending you information about the event | Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — steps taken at your request before and during your attendance | 24 months after the event |
| Marketing consent (yes/no) | Pre-registration | Recording whether you agreed to hear about future events, and proving it | Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR — consent; Art. 7(1) for the record of it | Until withdrawn, then 3 years as proof |
| Ticket quantity, price tier, amount paid, payment reference | Ticket purchase | Fulfilling your purchase and issuing your invoice | Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — contract | 10 years (§ 147 AO, § 14b UStG) |
| Billing address, VAT ID, payment details | Checkout | Taking payment, calculating VAT, issuing a valid invoice | Art. 6(1)(b) and 6(1)(c) GDPR | Held by Stripe; invoice data 10 years |
| Attendee name, email, company, job title | Seat assignment | Knowing who is actually attending, badges, catering numbers | Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and Art. 6(1)(f) where the buyer names someone else | 24 months after the event |
| Server log data (IP address, time, page requested) | Every visit | Delivering the site and keeping it secure | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in a working, secure site | Short-term, by our hosting provider |
Payment card details never reach us. Payment happens on Stripe's own checkout page. We receive confirmation that you paid and how much — never your card number.
When you pre-register we email you about Solution Day Connect: your confirmation, venue and joining details, agenda updates and practical information for the day. This is part of providing the event you signed up for, so it is not marketing and does not depend on consent. If you no longer want it, ask us to cancel your registration and we will remove you.
Only if you ticked the optional box. That is consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and you can withdraw it at any time — by using the unsubscribe link in any such email, or by emailing info@linked-world.com. Withdrawing does not affect anything we sent lawfully beforehand, and does not affect your registration.
We use three service providers, each under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). They act only on our instructions and may not use your data for their own purposes.
Beyond these, we share your data only where we are legally required to — for example with tax authorities. We do not sell it and we do not pass it to sponsors or other attendees. Your name is not published anywhere.
Airtable and Vercel are based in the United States, and Stripe may transfer data to its US parent. These transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR and, where the provider is certified, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision of 10 July 2023. You should know that US authorities may in principle be able to access data held there, and that legal remedies may be weaker than in the EU.
The one exception is Stripe's checkout page, which you reach only if you choose to buy a ticket. Stripe sets its own cookies there, necessary for payment and fraud prevention, under Stripe's privacy policy. That page is not ours.
After buying a ticket you get a private link for naming the people using your seats. Anyone holding that link can see and change those names, so please treat it like a password and only forward it to people who should have it.
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
Email info@linked-world.com and we will respond within one month. There is no charge.
If you think we have handled your data wrongly, please tell us first — we would rather fix it. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. Ours is:
You do not have to give us anything. But we cannot register you without your name, company and email, and we cannot issue a valid invoice without billing details. The optional marketing box is exactly that — leaving it unticked changes nothing about your registration or your ticket.
If we change how this site handles personal data we will update this page and change the date below. If a change is significant and affects people who have already registered, we will tell them by email.
