2. Scope

This privacy policy primarily applies to the static information website at https://info.arsnova.eu. It explains data processing when you visit these pages, follow external links, and use the hosted website.

Additional or different privacy information may apply to the live quiz, voting, and Q&A application at https://arsnova.eu and to self-hosted installations. The relevant operator or institution is responsible for data processing there.

3. Data processed when you visit

When you visit this website, the hosting provider may process technical access data, including your IP address, the date and time of the request, the URL visited, browser information, and the amount of data transferred. This processing is technically necessary to deliver the website and maintain its security and stability. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This static website sets no cookies and runs no analytics tools. Visiting it does not process quiz content, answers, session data, or similar usage data from the application.

4. Links to external services

This website links to external services, including GitHub and the arsnova.eu application. Following these links takes you away from the information website. The relevant providers’ or operators’ privacy policies and terms of use then apply.

5. Hosting of the information website

This information website is hosted by GitHub, Inc. (GitHub Pages). Technical access data may be processed on the provider’s servers. The provider is based in the United States, so a transfer to a third country cannot be ruled out.

For more information about the hosting provider’s data processing, see the GitHub Privacy Statement.

For questions or to exercise your rights, contact: klaus.quibeldey-cirkel@iu.org.

7. Are you required to provide data?

You do not need to actively provide personal details just to browse this information website. However, delivering the site requires the hosting provider to process certain connection data. If you contact us by email, we need your sender details.

8. About the arsnova.eu application

The application at https://arsnova.eu is designed with privacy in mind and uses a local-first approach. The data processed during application use, live sessions, or self-hosting depends on the operator of the instance. Check the privacy policy provided for the live application you use.
