Privacy Policy
Update: January 2020
Transfer of Stewardship (aka 'responsibility' or 'control' in some circles)
We created the internet domain https://agilelean.eu for the exclusive use of the Agile Lean Europe community specifically to share information about the annual ALE Unconference.
We are a volunteer organisation representing the community of Agile and Lean practitioners in Europe. We organise the ALE Unconference for the community who opts in to attending the event which is held at least once a year.
Each year the ALE Unconference meets in a different European city. While we continue to represent the community, the formal structure of the volunteer group and the key contact person changes to be in-line with the customs and regulations of the city where we will meet next.
We transferred the stewardship of this website from the Verein Agile Lean Europe in Zurich to the formal organisation which will represent the same group of volunteers based in Portugal for 2019. Further we transferred to the formal organisation of the same type based in Riga, Latvia for 2021.
The website servers and database infrastructure has not changed.

Registrations and Ticket Sales
All ticket sales are processed by our ticket handler Weezevent. We embed content from Weezevent on our site via iframe. We do not have anyway to directly record the information provide Weezevent. We will never ask for your credit card or sensitive billing data, and we never see your secure billings data. Therefore we can never store it on our platform. We will receive a copy of the other ticket sales information that you provide Weezevent which is necessary for us to process your registration (including your email and post mailing address). We may store this information and use it to correspond with you about the ticket transactions and send you news about the event so that you may use your ticket.
