Who we are

The East London AI Summit 2026 is organised by The Programme Layer, supported by Navigate UK. The Programme Layer is the data controller for the personal data collected on this website.

To ask anything about your data, email the contact email shown on this website.

What we collect

Registration: your name, email, phone number, which category best describes you, your marketing preference, your ticket ID and whether you checked in.

Hackathon applications: the above, plus your age confirmation, background, your project answers, links and any files you upload, and any final project submissions.

Emails: a record of which event emails we have sent you.

Why we use it, and our lawful basis

To give you a ticket, run the event, check you in and send essential event emails (reminders, programme, venue and safety information). This is necessary to provide the service you asked for.

To run the Hackathon: reviewing applications, telling you the outcome, and, only if you agreed, listing your project on the public shortlist.

To tell you about future events, only if you ticked the box to agree. You can withdraw this consent at any time.

Who we share it with

We use trusted service providers to run this website: Supabase (database and file storage), Resend (email delivery) and Vercel (website hosting). They process data only on our instructions.

We do not sell your data. Speakers, sponsors and partners do not receive attendee lists.

How long we keep it

We keep registration and application data until 6 months after the summit, then delete or anonymise it. If you agreed to hear about future events, we keep your name and email until you unsubscribe.

Winners' details are kept as long as needed for prize payment and our legal record-keeping.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict how we use it, or receive a copy. You can cancel your ticket at any time from your ticket page.

To use these rights, email the contact email shown on this website. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
