This is the short, plain version of how we look after the details you give us when you request a seat at Whine about AI (Thursday 3 December 2026, Vinylio, Limassol).
Who we are
Whine about AI is organised by Talent Hacks, the trading name of D.P. Open Box Communication Ltd (company no. HE 296655), Limassol, Cyprus, together with Top 10 Voices. Talent Hacks is the data controller for your details. Top 10 Voices co-organises the evening with us and receives guest details so it can help run it, and it looks after them in the same way.
Questions or requests: paris@talenthacks.com
What we collect
- What you type into the seat form: first and last name, email, company, position and LinkedIn profile URL.
- Anything you tell us when you reply by email or message, such as dietary needs or access requirements.
- Whether you've paid. Payments go through Stripe, so we never see your full card details.
Why we use it
- To review your request, confirm your seat and send you event details and reminders.
- To take payment and send your invoice.
- To plan the evening (numbers, name badges and food).
We do this because you asked for a seat (steps before and under a contract) and because we have a legitimate interest in running a small, curated event. We keep invoice records because the law requires it. We don't sell your details, and we don't add you to a mailing list without asking. After the event we may send you a short thank-you or follow-up about it, and you can tell us to stop at any time.
Who helps us
We use a few trusted services to run this:
- Vercel, which hosts this website and the seat form.
- Resend, which sends our emails.
- Stripe, which takes payments.
- Google Fonts, which serves the handwriting fonts on this page (your browser connects to Google to load them).
- Email, WhatsApp and assistant tools used by the hosts to reply to you and keep the guest list.
Some of these are based outside the EU. Where that's the case, we rely on the safeguards data protection law requires, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Each service only gets what it needs to do its job.
We share your name with the venue only if it's needed for the guest list on the night.
How long we keep it
We keep your seat details for up to 12 months after the event, then delete them. Invoices and payment records are kept for longer where accounting and tax law requires it.

Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your details, get a copy of them, limit or object to how we use them, or ask us to stop. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Just email paris@talenthacks.com. If you're not happy with how we've handled things, you can complain to the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus (dataprotection.gov.cy).
18+ only
Whine about AI is an educational evening for adults, so it's for people aged 18 and over. The venue does not serve or sell adult beverages to anyone under 18. Please don't request a seat for anyone under 18.
