4th KGA Congress & 1st GCC GI Forum

Privacy

The KGA Congress app does not ask you to create an account and does not collect your name, email or phone number.

Questions you send. When you ask a question in a session, its text is sent to the congress server so the session chair and speaker can read it out. It is sent without your name, email or phone number, together with a random code that lets your phone withdraw the question later; that code does not identify you. Questions appear without names in the session's live list, where other delegates can see and upvote them along with the chair, the speaker and the congress organisers, and are deleted after the congress. Withdrawing a question in the app removes it from the server.

Notifications. If you allow notifications, the app sends the congress server a push token from Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and a random install code, so the organisers can send you congress announcements. No name, email or phone number is sent with them, and they are used only to deliver notifications. You can turn notifications off at any time in your phone's settings.

Everything else stays on your phone. Your notes, photographs, saved sessions and favourite speakers are stored only on your device, are never sent anywhere, and are removed when you delete the app.

The app downloads the congress programme from the organisers' server, and streams the congress podcast from kgaconference.com. These requests carry no information about you.

The camera and photo library are used only when you choose to add a photo to a session, and those photos stay on your device.

The app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking.
