Last updated: May 2026
1. Who we are
Bridgr operates the bridgr.io website and organises HackPune events. Our registered contact address is hello@bridgr.io. We are the data controller for information collected through this website.
2. What data we collect
We collect information you provide through our forms: name, email address, GitHub/portfolio/LinkedIn URLs, skill descriptions, motivation text, and any other information you voluntarily submit. We also collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for operational purposes.
3. How we use your data
Application data is used solely to evaluate participation, volunteer, speaking, or sponsorship applications. We do not sell your data. We use email addresses to send event updates if you have opted in. Server logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days.
4. Legal basis
For EEA/GDPR-covered individuals, we process data on the basis of legitimate interest (operating events) and, where required, explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing hello@bridgr.io.
5. Data sharing
We use Appwrite (authentication and data storage) as a sub-processor. We do not share personal data with challenge partners or sponsors without your explicit consent. Aggregate, anonymised statistics may be shared publicly.
6. Retention
Application data is retained for a maximum of 12 months after the event for which you applied, then deleted unless you have consented to further communication.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data. Email hello@bridgr.io with the subject 'Data Request' and we will respond within 30 days.
8. Cookies
This website uses minimal cookies required for session management and language preferences. We do not use third-party tracking cookies.
