Privacy Policy — INTERSECTIONS 2026 Participation App

Last updated: 16 July 2026

Note: This is a proposed draft to support registration of the app with LinkedIn (which requires a public privacy policy URL). Please have it reviewed by the conference organiser and, where appropriate, legal counsel, and fill in the bracketed placeholders before publishing it at a public URL.

This Privacy Policy explains how the INTERSECTIONS 2026 Participation App (the “App”) collects, uses, and protects your information. The App is provided by [Organiser legal entity — e.g. ideactio / Service Design Singapore] (“we”, “us”, “our”) to support participation at the INTERSECTIONS Service Design Conference, held in Singapore on 23–24 July 2026 (the “Conference”).

Who this applies to

This policy applies to attendees, speakers, and organisers who sign in to and use the App during and around the Conference.

Information we collect

1. Information from LinkedIn (via “Sign In with LinkedIn using OpenID Connect”) When you sign in with LinkedIn, we receive a limited set of profile information that you authorise LinkedIn to share:

• Your name
• Your profile picture
• Your email address
• A LinkedIn user identifier (used only to recognise your account on return)

We do not receive your LinkedIn connections, posts, messages, job history, or any data beyond the fields listed above.

2. Information you provide in the App

• Your job title / designation, company, and LinkedIn profile URL
• Your free-text “Talk to me!” responses (your superpower, dreams, fears, and convictions)
• Questions you submit and upvotes you cast during live sessions
• “Spoke with!” actions indicating people you have connected with

3. Technical information

• Basic session and connection data required to operate the App (e.g. a login session and a real-time connection to keep the live features working).

How we use your information

We use your information only to operate the App’s features for the Conference:

• To authenticate you and maintain your session
• To display your profile in the attendee networking directory
• To power the live question-and-answer feature and show questions to speakers and moderators
• To operate the “Spoke with!” networking mechanic, which progressively reveals profile details when two attendees have each indicated they spoke with one another
• To let organisers moderate content and manage the event

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

How your information is shared

• With other attendees: Your name, photo, job title, company, and your “superpower” and “dreams” are visible to other signed-in attendees in the networking directory. Your “fears”, “convictions”, and LinkedIn URL are shown to another attendee only after you and that attendee have each tapped “Spoke with!” on one another.
• With speakers and moderators: Questions you submit during a live session are visible to other attendees, speakers, and organisers, alongside your name.
• With service providers: We use LinkedIn for authentication and [hosting provider — e.g. Fly.io] to host the App and its database. These providers process data on our behalf to deliver the service.
• When required by law: We may disclose information if required to do so by applicable law or valid legal process.

Data retention

We retain your information only for as long as needed to run the Conference and its immediate follow-up. We intend to delete or anonymise attendee personal data within [e.g. 30–90 days] after the Conference, unless a longer period is required by law or you have asked us to keep it.

Your choices and rights

• You can view and edit your profile information at any time within the App.
• Signing in with LinkedIn is required to use the App; you can revoke the App’s access from your LinkedIn account settings at any time.
• You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us at the address below. We will respond in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including access controls and encrypted connections (HTTPS). Note that “locked” profile fields are withheld on the server and are not sent to other attendees’ devices until the mutual “Spoke with!” condition is met.

Children

The App is intended for Conference attendees and is not directed at children under 16.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
