Privacy Policy

Great International Developer Summit (GIDS) is committed to using our best efforts to protect the privacy of the information you chose to share with us. By choosing to visit our Site, you are accepting the practices, terms and conditions described in this Privacy Notice. Please take a moment to read our Privacy Policy as it describes what happens to the personal information you supply to GIDS. GIDS reserves the right to change the terms of this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Information Collection

If you register on the GIDS web site, your personal information (including your name, job title, company's name, telephone number, postal and email address) is collected by GIDS. We also collect personal information from you when you contact us (by email or otherwise) or through publicly available information (such as LinkedIn profiles etc).

In common with many other online services, if you have registered on the GIDS site, we may use "cookies" to store and sometimes track information about you, but only on an anonymous basis. A cookie is a small amount of data sent from the server which is stored on your PC's hard drive. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or ask your browser to show you where cookies have been set up. Certain services are only activated by the presence of a cookie and, if you choose to reject the cookie, a particular on-line feature may not be available to you.

Information Usage

All of the personal information described above will be stored on GIDS' user database (unless you notify us that you no longer wish us to retain such information, in which case it will be deleted).

GIDS will only use your personal information in order to contact you (for example by email, mail or telephone) for those purposes to which you have previously consented. For example, if you submit your details, GIDS will contact you about relevant products and services offered by GIDS, its parent companies, or by reputable third parties. If you do not wish to receive information about GIDS and/or third parties' products and services, please tick the relevant box on the registration form when you receive our mailings or email us at info at developersummit dot com asking to be removed from our database. You can also unsubscribe to any electronic correspondence from GIDS by clicking 'unsubscribe' at the bottom of any email we send you.

Information Disclosure/Sharing

We engage with third parties to perform services in connection with the operation of our business. Examples of these services include payment processing and authorisation, order fulfilment and shipping, marketing, public relations and other activities, survey, sweepstakes and contests administration, Web site evaluation and data analysis. We provide personal information to these third parties, but we authorise them to use this information only in connection with the services they perform. These parties may also collect information directly from your use of our site, but we prohibit them from using such information in anything other than an aggregated non-personal form.

We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. GIDS may also share your personal information with the other members of its group and (provided that you have not ticked the opt-out box on the registration form) will make your name and postal address available to reputable third parties so that they can send you details of their products and services.

As with any business, it is possible that we might go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, sale of all or a portion of our assets, or sell or buy other assets. In such transactions, GIDS may transfer information collected (to the extent that it is still held on our database at the relevant time) to a third party who acquires all or substantially all of GIDS' assets or stock or our website services.

Third Parties

Links to third party web sites on our Site are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave our Site. We have not reviewed all of these third party sites and do not control and are not responsible for any of these sites, their content or their privacy policy. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to our Site, you do so at your own risk.
