2. Overview

Conference Tracker (conference-tracker.javan.de) is a static website. There are no user accounts and no server-side database of your activity. The app runs entirely in your browser; personal planning data stays on your device unless you export it yourself.

No analytics or advertising trackers
No marketing cookies
No sale of personal data

3. Data stored in your browser (localStorage)

To remember your filters, favorites, private notes, speaker pipeline, saved trips, theme, and similar UI preferences, the app stores data in your browser’s localStorage. This data is not transmitted to our servers.

Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)): legitimate interest in providing a functional, personalised experience without accounts.

You can delete this data anytime via your browser’s site-data settings or the in-app Backup & restore export/import flow.

4. Geocode cache

For the world map, city/country pairs may be sent to Open-Meteo Geocoding API to resolve coordinates. Results are cached in your browser to reduce repeat requests. Open-Meteo’s privacy practices apply to those requests.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) — legitimate interest in displaying map markers.

5. Third-party resources loaded by the page

When you use the app, your browser may contact:

cdnjs.cloudflare.com — JavaScript and CSS libraries (PapaParse, Leaflet)
tile.openstreetmap.org — map tiles (OpenStreetMap)
geocoding-api.open-meteo.com — geocoding (see above)

These providers may process technical data such as your IP address and request metadata in their server logs. Refer to their respective privacy policies.

6. External links (sponsors & conferences)

Footer support links (Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, GitHub Sponsors) and conference URLs in the catalog lead to third-party websites with their own privacy practices. No personal data is passed from Conference Tracker when you click those links.

7. Hosting

The site is served as static files (e.g. via GitHub Pages). The host may process server logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL) for security and operations.

8. Your rights (GDPR)

If GDPR applies, you have the right to:

Access, rectification, erasure, and restriction of processing
Data portability (where applicable)
Object to processing based on legitimate interests
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Because most data stays in your browser, you can often exercise erasure directly by clearing site data. For any request, contact ….

Supervisory authority (Germany, Baden-Württemberg): LfDI Baden-Württemberg.

9. Children

This service is not directed at children under 16 and does not knowingly collect their data.

10. Changes

This policy may be updated when the app or legal requirements change. The date at the top indicates the latest revision.
