Use of Your Information by CFF
We use the information we gather on the web site during your application or registration to organize our conferences as well as to identify participants and select among applicants. We will save your CV until one year after the conference you applied for as a maximum in order to have a basis for year over year quality checks. We will delete your CV from our data basis afterwards and destroy any hard-copy in CFF's possession.
After the conference, CFF, however, keeps general contact details saved up to 10 years in order to be able to address you for promotional purpose of CFF related contents. Should you not consent with this, please be sure to have contacted us.

Disclosure of Information to Others
We do not disclose to third parties your personal information except as set forth below.
We may disclose such information to third parties if you consent to such disclosure. You give us your consent if you apply and/or register for one of our events and check the box for your agreement with our privacy policy.
Third parties are exclusively our sponsors, partners and supporters. For example, if you submit your CV, then all parties with access to our CV database (or copies thereof) will have access to that data base. Mainly, these are our partners, sponsors and supporters, who evaluate your CV in order to identify participants for their workshops as well as candidates for interviews on campus or in the aftermath. Furthermore, companies supporting CFF may also have access to the CV database or a copy of it without necessarily having recruitment intentions. These are predominantly our media partners.
Furthermore, at the day of the conference, we preserve the right to hand-out lists which give a brief overview over all participants to all present participants of the respective conference. These lists usually contain only basic information like full name and organization (university, company…).
We may disclose personal information if legally required to do so, if requested to do so by a governmental entity or regulatory authority or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of CFF or its affiliated companies; (c) prevent a crime or protect national security; or (d) protect the personal safety of users or the public.

Other Uses of Information
CFF may also share aggregated anonymous information about visitors to its web sites with its clients, partners and other third parties so that they may understand the kinds of visitors to CFF's site and how those visitors use the site.

CVs
We attempt to limit access to our CV data base (or copies thereof) to as few as possible. We are not responsible for the use made of CVs by third parties who access such CVs while they are in our searchable database. Our partners, sponsors and supporters are notified about the restricted use of your CVs which allows them only to make use of them in the context with our conference. You may remove your CV from our searchable database at any time; details of how to do this are given below. In this case, however, you also do cancel your application and/or participation. A re-application for the same conference is not possible. However, our partners, sponsors and supporters, who have access to that database or to a copy of that database, as well as parties who have otherwise gained access to the database may have retained a copy of your CV in their own files or databases. We are not responsible for the retention, use or privacy of CVs or profiles in these instances.

CFF has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration or disclosure. In particular, all account and password data is encrypted (i.e. it is scrambled between your computer and CFF's servers) and all traffic which is internal to the CFF network (such as billing information and CFF's access to our database) is also encrypted. Notwithstanding such measures, the Internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You should be aware that CVs you complete at your current place of work may be monitored by your current employer.
When you place an order online at CFF, your credit card information is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") protocol.
