Privacy notice

Which information we collect when you apply and attend, why we need it, and your rights over it.

This notice is a draft awaiting legal review. The final text will be published here before applications open.

Data controller

Data controller: TeknoFest ADÜ (a student club at Aydın Adnan Menderes University), which organizes Hackathon Aydın. Contact for questions and requests:

Data we collect

  • Identity and contact: first and last name, email, phone, age (participants must be 18 or older).
  • Education: university, field of study, level of study, graduation year.
  • Location: country and city of residence.
  • Attendance: team status, experience, motivation, T-shirt size, dietary needs or allergies (optional), emergency contact name and phone.
  • Optional: GitHub, LinkedIn, portfolio link, CV file.
  • Event: application status, check-in time, team and project submission.
  • Consents: the time each consent was given.

Why we use it

  • To review your application and tell you the result.
  • To run check-in, team matching and project submission on event day.
  • To reach your emergency contact if something happens during the overnight event.
  • To plan meals around dietary needs and allergies.
  • If you opt in, to send you announcements about future events.

Sharing

Data is stored with the service providers we use to run the event: database and sign-in (Supabase, European Union region), email delivery (Resend), hosting (Vercel).

Judges only see project submissions, never application answers or personal details.

If the event is approved as an MLH Member Event, your information is shared with MLH only if you give that separate consent on the form.

Retention

In line with Article 4 of KVKK, personal data is kept only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected for and for any period required by applicable law.

When that period ends, the data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised as set out in the Turkish Regulation on the Deletion, Destruction or Anonymisation of Personal Data.

Your rights

Under Article 11 of the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK), you can ask whether your data is processed, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to processing. Send your request by email.

Announcement emails are optional; you can withdraw consent from your panel or by email at any time.
