Privacy Policy

What Information do we collect?

Basic Browser Information and Server Logs
Whenever you use Digitell Live Events Platform services we will automatically collect basic information about your web browser, its capabilities, your network (IP), approximate location, and the actions, views and page requests that you perform.

Our web servers will automatically collect standard HTTP diagnostics logs, including the IP address that you connect from, the pages you view, and the data sent and received from our servers.

Log Retention
Server logs are typically kept for up-to 6 months, however this may be extended for as long as necessary if Digitell, Inc. has in good faith a reason to believe that individual logs may contain information relevant to an ongoing investigation or legal proceeding.

Your Registration Details, Platform Identity and Interactions
When you are first registered on Digitell Live Events Platform, your primary registration details, mainly your name and email address, will be used to generate a Digitell Live Events "Platform Identity" for you.

Your platform identity acts as a wrapper for your personal information and interactions upon this platform, and contains your name, email address, profile information, diagnostic data, permissions, attended sessions, and logs of interactions that you performed while attending them.

How we collect your registration information depends on how you access our services.

Collecting your Registration Details via Integration
For clients that integrate with Digitell Live Events Platform via our authentication API, including those clients served via other Digitell, Inc. products and services, your registration details will automatically be sent to this platform when you first attempt to access a session.

If you are accessing the platform for the first time, your registration details will be held in escrow until you have read and agreed to this privacy policy, at which point we will use the provided registration details to create a new Platform Identity for you.

Collecting your Registration Details via Guest Login
Certain sessions do not use integrations, and instead allow attendees to register via "Guest Login". When you are registering as a guest, you will be required to provide a name, email address and country of origin. This information will then be used to provide you with a temporary Platform Identity which is bound to your current device.

Your guest credentials and temporary identity will be stored on your device until you logout of the platform.

Collecting your Registration Details via Manual Input
It may sometimes be necessary for Digitell, Inc. staff to manually register a user on our platform without their direct interaction. This is often the case when the registration details in question belong to a host or presenter who is scheduled to use our platform on behalf of a client.

Digitell Live Events Platform also provides optional opportunities for you to expand upon your basic registration information by providing additional information that may improve your experience by allowing other attendees to better connect with you.

Extended Profiles
Upon entering a session for the first time, you will be provided with the option of filling out an extended profile.

By submitting this information, you are consenting to this information being made publicly available to other attendees in any sessions that you attend, as well as to the client(s) responsible for those sessions.

Attendees that have filled out their extended profile information will be identified by a small profile card icon next to their name in chat, as well as showing their profile picture if one has been added.

Please note that your email address is not part of your extended profile and will not be shared with other attendees, it will however be included in reports provided to the responsible client.

Twitter
Certain sessions will allow you to use our integrated Twitter functionality to post Tweets directly from within our platform. When you first attempt to post a tweet through our platform you will be asked by Twitter.com to authorize our platform to do so. Upon approving this request, Digitell, Inc. will receive an OAuth authentication token that allows us to post status updates on your behalf.

This token is stored in your browser session and will expire upon you logging out or after a reasonable period of inactivity.

An important part of the service we provide to our clients is reporting on how their attendees interact with the features available on the platform in relation to the sessions that they provide.

Your Interactions within Sessions
Our platform will record any interaction you have with any of the features and services that it provides.

Examples of interactions are:
  • Logging into a session
  • Sending a chat message
  • Submitting a question
  • Responding to a poll
  • Downloading a file
  • Contacting technical support

Certain actions may be recorded even after a session has ended, such as if you download session resources via our thank-you email that is usually sent once a session has ended.

Please note that Digitell, Inc. cannot be held responsible if you choose to use interactive session features to publish personally identifiable information about yourself or others outside of those features specifically designed to process such information. For example, if you were to type your entire name and address into chat, it would be broadcast to other attendees, and Digitell, Inc. would be unable to stop its distribution after it had already been shared.

System Check Results
The first time you log into a session each day, your browser will automatically run an thorough compatibility check, this process will test if your browser and connection is capable of meeting the requirements needed to use our platform.

The results of this compatibility check will automatically be stored as part of your platform identity in our database. This allows our technicians to better diagnose any difficulties that you may experience, as well as providing Digitell, Inc. with valuable statistics on which software and devices are used to access our services.

Security and Monitoring
Our platform will automatically record information relating to the security of your platform identity, this includes details such as when you logged in and out, from where, and if any changes were made to your account. This information is available exclusively to Digitell, Inc.
