Summary
You are responsible for your own actions
Slidefair expects that you will use its services and online services in general with due care. Be careful of your actions and with the (personal) data you share online.
Slidefair will not store your data longer than necessary
At Slidefair, your event data is securely stored for as long as we have agreed to keep your event platform online. Once offline, the event data linked to the event site will be deleted from our servers within 30 days, unless otherwise is agreed upon. You will be notified in advance when we plan to execute the removal of the event data, so you have time to store the data on your own data storage device (should you wish to do so).
