Research direction

Review the EuroPython 2026 privacy/legal section and similar PyCon EU policies first. Identify the site’s page and footer entry points, then draft /privacy/ covering collected data, purposes, retention, processors, and data-request contact. Done means the page is published and linked from the footer.

  • Draft a Privacy Policy covering: data collected, purpose, retention, third-party processors (Tito, Sessionize, Netlify, etc.), contact for data requests
  • Add a /privacy/ page to the site
  • Add a small link in the footer
