  • - Full Name
  • - Email Address

2. Purpose of Collection (How We Use Your Data)

We utilize the collected personal data exclusively for direct communication, community coordination, and analytical purposes. Under no circumstances is your personal data sold, leased, or monetized to any third party. - Communication & Event Updates: To respond to your individual inquiries, coordinate talk proposals and sponsorships, onboard volunteer crew members, and share updates regarding upcoming ADC flagship events and official ADC community partner events. - Website Analytics: To understand how developers navigate our platform, measure engagement with event listings, and optimize our UI/UX design. We do not use this data to profile individuals. - Security & Integrity: To detect and prevent spam or malicious submissions via our forms.

ADC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. However, to operate our static platform, we utilize trusted third-party infrastructure providers who act as data processors:

  • Web3Forms: Our contact forms are powered by Web3Forms. Data submitted through our website is securely forwarded via their API directly to our official inbox.
  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4): We use GA4 for anonymized traffic monitoring. Google may process your IP address and browsing behavior according to their privacy guidelines.
  • Cloudflare / Vercel / Netlify: Our website is deployed on global edge CDNs. These providers may temporarily log IP addresses for network routing, DDoS protection, and security monitoring.

4. Data Retention Period

The Ahmedabad Developer Club shall securely retain your personal data strictly for the duration necessary to satisfy the specific purposes articulated within this Privacy Policy, as mandated by applicable legal and regulatory frameworks: - Inquiry Data: Emails and form submissions are retained in our official inbox for up to two (2) years for historical reference and community coordination, after which they are archived or deleted. - Analytics Data: Non-personally identifiable analytical data collected via Google Analytics is retained according to Google's standard retention policies (typically 14 months).
