Consent forms shall store documentation related to the consent given by you. Individual consent shall always be stored and documented in our systems.

Collecting personal data based on legitimate interest

We may use personal data if it is considered to be of legitimate interest, and if the privacy interests of the data subjects do not override this interest. In practice, in order to establish the legal basis for data collection, an assessment should be made during which a mutual interest between DAO Day Estonia and the data subjects should be identified. This legal basis is primarily related to our sales and marketing purposes. We shall always inform data subjects about their privacy rights and the purpose for collecting personal data.

How long do we keep your personal data?

We store your personal data for as long as we find it necessary to fulfill the purpose for which your personal data was collected, while also considering our need to resolve possible problems, to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws, to attend to any legal claims/complaints, and for safeguarding purposes.

This means that we may retain your personal data for a reasonable period of time after your last interaction with us.

We may pass your personal data on to our partners (e.g. registration service provider, payment service provider), sponsors and other associated organizations with the purpose of them providing you relevant services that are happening at or are in direct relation to the DAO Day Estonia conference.

If required by law we shall disclose your personal information if required by law or if we, as a legal entity, reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process.
