Privacy Policy

Effective: April 14, 2026  ·  Operated by CyberAdX / CISO Marketplace

CISO.POKER is operated by CyberAdX Network LLC ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains what data we collect when you use this site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. We collect only what we need to run our events. We do not sell your data.

1. Data We Collect

Event applications (waitlist form)

When you apply for a seat at The Stack or another CISO.POKER event, we collect:

  • Name, title, company, work email
  • LinkedIn profile URL (optional)
  • Company size and industry (optional)
  • Poker skill level and t-shirt size (optional)
  • Events you plan to attend that week (optional)
  • Cash game interest preference (optional)
  • Partner or referral code (optional)
  • IP address (for fraud/abuse prevention)

This information is used solely to evaluate and process your seat application and to communicate with you about the event.

Sponsor inquiries

When you submit a sponsorship inquiry, we collect name, title, company, email, phone, website, sponsorship category, contribution range, and any message you include. This is used only to respond to your inquiry and, if applicable, to execute a sponsorship agreement.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data including pages visited, time on site, and general geographic region. We do not use this data to identify individuals. You can opt out via Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Cloudflare Turnstile

Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. Turnstile processes minimal browser signals to verify human interaction. No personal data is stored by Turnstile beyond what is necessary for this verification. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

2. How We Store Your Data

Form submissions are stored in a Cloudflare D1 database (serverless SQLite) hosted in Cloudflare's infrastructure. Transactional emails are sent via Resend. Both services operate under their own data processing agreements. We retain application data for the duration of the event cycle (typically 12 months post-event), after which it is purged.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • Event operations: reviewing applications, communicating decisions, coordinating logistics
  • Event communications: confirmation emails, schedule updates, day-of logistics
  • Sponsor coordination: responding to inquiries and executing agreements
  • Site improvement: anonymized analytics to understand what content is useful
  • Security: IP addresses are retained temporarily for abuse prevention

We do not use your data for advertising, lead generation, or any purpose unrelated to CISO.POKER events. We do not share your data with sponsors or third parties except as required to operate the event (e.g., venue logistics).

4. Email Communications

By submitting an application or inquiry, you consent to receive transactional emails related to your submission — confirmations, decisions, and event logistics. We do not send unsolicited marketing email. Every email includes a way to reach us at events@ciso.poker to opt out of further communications.

5. Event Photography and Videography

CISO.POKER events are professionally filmed for recap and promotional use. No names, titles, or company affiliations are used in footage without explicit consent. Face blurring is available on request at check-in. Final table live streaming, where applicable, is opt-in only — participants choose how they are identified on stream.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legitimate retention requirements)
  • Withdraw consent for communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email events@ciso.poker with the subject line "Privacy Request." We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

This site does not use first-party cookies for tracking or advertising. Google Analytics may set cookies per its standard implementation. Cloudflare may set security-related cookies as part of its infrastructure. No persistent tracking cookies are set by CISO.POKER directly.
