4. How we protect the data

CVs and uploaded documents are kept in a restricted area, not publicly accessible, and can be downloaded only by the organizing team and authorized staff. Data is processed with appropriate technical and organizational measures.

4-bis. Talks, recordings and materials (speeches and podcast)

If you request a speaking slot on stage (speech) or a podcast interview, your contribution may be audio/video recorded and later distributed (for example on the channels of Pesco Innovation Hub and of the linked organizations) on the basis of the explicit consent you give when making the request. Consent to the recording is optional and can be withdrawn at any time; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it, nor the distribution of content already published, whose removal you can in any case request.

The materials you upload to support your talk (for example the pitch deck) are kept in a restricted area that is not publicly accessible and can be seen only by the organizing team and authorized staff, for the sole purpose of assessing and organizing the talk. The questions of the podcast interview are shared with you in advance and participation is voluntary.

5. Recipients of the data

Data is processed by the organizing team of Pesco Innovation Hub and, for applications relating to specific organizations (ventures or partners), by the members of that organization’s team. We also rely on technical providers (e.g. hosting and email) acting as data processors. Data is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Retention

We keep the data for the time needed for the stated purposes and, as a rule, up to 24 months after the end of the event, save for legal obligations or the need to defend a right. Published photos and videos may stay online until you ask for their removal.

7. Your rights

At any time you can ask for access, rectification, erasure or restriction of your data, object to the processing, ask for portability and withdraw your consent (including the one on the use of images), without affecting the lawfulness of the previous processing. To exercise these rights write to balestrieri@pescoinnovationhub.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority.
