The short version
This website sets no cookies, runs no advertising, and uses no analytics or tracking of any kind. We do not build profiles of visitors, and we do not sell or share anyone's information. The only personal information we hold is what people type into our forms and send to us deliberately.
Who we are
The Davos Neurodiversity Summit was founded by Dr. Maureen Dunne, who heads its organizing group. Please reach us at contact@DavosNeurodiversitySummit.com with any questions or concerns.
Information you give us
Registration. Our registration form asks for your name and email address, whether you plan to attend in person or virtually, and — if you are applying to attend in person — further detail about your work, your interest in the Summit, and whether you would like to be considered as a speaker. Some questions are optional and marked as such.
Nominations. Our nomination forms ask which award or recognition you are putting someone forward for, who that person is, and why. Because a nomination is usually about someone else, this means you may give us the name of a third party. We use that information only to consider the nomination.
Email. If you write to us, we keep the message so we can reply and so we have a record of the conversation.
What we do with it
- Registration is used to plan the Summit, to send you joining details, and — for in-person applications — to decide who we can accommodate. In-person submissions are applications reviewed by people, not automatic confirmations.
- Nominations are reviewed by the Summit's awards committee when deciding who to recognise.
- Updates. If you opt in, we may email you occasionally about the Summit. Every such email has an unsubscribe link, and opting out does not affect your registration.
We do not use any of this for advertising, and we do not pass it to sponsors or partners.
Where it is stored
Our forms are built with Google Forms and responses are stored in Google Sheets, within an account controlled by the Summit's organisers. Google acts as our service provider for this and processes the information on our behalf. Access is limited to the small number of people running the Summit.
Other services this site uses
- Google Fonts supplies the typefaces. Loading them means your browser contacts Google's servers, which necessarily reveals your IP address to Google.
- Google Forms is embedded on our registration and nomination pages. Interacting with a form is subject to Google's own privacy terms.
- Simplecast hosts our podcast episodes and its player is embedded on the podcast page.
- GitHub Pages hosts this website. Like any web host, its infrastructure processes the requests your browser makes.
We do not embed social media trackers, advertising pixels, or session recording tools.
Photographs and public listings
The Leadership Wall, our awardee pages, and our galleries show the names, photographs, and affiliations of people connected with the Summit. These are published deliberately, as recognition. If you appear on this site and would prefer not to, write to us and we will remove you.
How long we keep things
We keep registration and nomination records for as long as they are useful to running the Summit and its subsequent editions, and we review them periodically. If you ask us to delete your information, we will, unless we are required to keep it.
Your rights
You can ask us what information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, or ask us to stop using it. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you have these rights under the UK GDPR and the EU GDPR respectively, including the right to complain to your national data protection authority. Wherever you are, we will handle your request the same way.
To make any of these requests, email contact@DavosNeurodiversitySummit.com. We will respond within one month.
International transfers
The Summit is convened in Switzerland and organised from the United States, and our service providers operate internationally. Information you give us may therefore be processed outside your own country, including in the United States.
Children
This website is intended for adults. One of our awards recognises changemakers from the age of fourteen; where a nominee is under eighteen, we ask that nominations come from an adult who knows their work.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
