Privacy statement Open Science Retreat 2024

The Open Science Retreat 2024 organisation (OSR24NL) values the privacy of its website visitors. When we ask you for your personal details, we handle them with care. We always comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can read all about this in our privacy statement.

How do we handle your personal data?

  • we clearly state for what purposes we are processing your personal data; we do this by means of this privacy statement;
  • we ask for only the personal data that is needed for legitimate purposes;
  • we keep your personal data very safe and also demand the same from the parties, which process your personal data on our behalf;
  • you may view, correct or delete your personal data at any time.

Security measures

Among other things, we have applied the following security measures to protect your personal data:

  • We store your personal data offline;
  • We use secure (HTTPS) connections to guarantee the security of data transfers; and
  • We apply organizational and physical access controls.

Registration and feedback process

During our registration and feedback process, we may ask you to provide the following personal details:

  • first name and surname (mandatory)
  • e-mail address (mandatory)
  • organisation for which you work
  • dietary preferences
  • Bank account number
  • any other information you voluntarily provide 

Why do we ask for this personal data?

We need your personal data in order to process your registration and payment (legal basis for processing: performance of an agreement). We will also use this data to send you necessary information about the Retreat, including a Save the Date email about a possible next edition of the Retreat. In addition, we can carry out (statistical) research using the information provided in order to improve our services (legal basis for processing: legitimate interest of the OSR24NL).

Where do we process your personal data?

OSR24NL processes your personal data in countries based within the European Economic Area (EEA).

How long do we store your data?

OSR24NL may use the data that you have provided to us for your registration for research purposes up to 18 months after the event at the latest. This research is aimed at improving the events that we offer to the target group. For the purpose of this research OSR24NL pseudonymises the data so that it can no longer be directly traced back to individuals, by removing your name and e-mail address. After 18 months your personal details will be completely anonymized, so that they are no longer traceable, either directly or indirectly. OSR24NL will then only be able to use the anonymized data for statistical research purposes.

Images of events

During OSR24NL may take photos and record videos and/or vlogs. We may use these atmospheric images on Mastodon, websites, newsletters or mailings from OSR24NL or its partners about the event in question. We may also retain a small and carefully selected part of the visual material in an archive for the purpose of historical awareness.

Why do we ask for these personal details?

We process these images on the basis of the legitimate interest of OSR24NL. OSR24NL has an interest in recording visual material of its events to raise awareness for the event and later editions of the event.

You may indicate that you would rather not be visible in the images. OSR24NL always takes the privacy of its visitors into account and carefully assesses the visual material to be used in publicity for the event.

How long do we retain these personal details?

In principle, OSR24NL does not store visual material for longer than 5 years after the event. After 5 years at the latest, the visual material is permanently deleted.

In exceptional cases, OSR24NL may retain a small and carefully selected part of the visual material for a longer period of time for the purpose of historical awareness. This visual material can be used later, such as for an anniversary. To the extent possible, we select visual material in which visitors are not clearly visible.

Interviews

OSR24NL may ask visitors whether they wish to participate in an interview (legal basis for processing: consent). The interview will be made into a video, which OSR24NL may use for public relations purposes (for example by publishing the video on the website or incorporating it in a review video).

How long do we retain these personal details?

If you agree to processing of the interview, we do not retain the video of the interview for longer than 5 years after the event in question.
