Let's start with the main goals of IT Connect:
🧑🏼💻 Regarding the official aspect, IT Connect is not an organization but a community, so we are not subject to regulations regarding data collection and processing for legal entities. We collect your names and usernames on Telegram solely for the convenience of conducting events: to add you to meetup chats, contact you to confirm participation, stay in touch, and analyze attendance.
📷 A bit about creativity. Photographers at our events are volunteers and members of the IT Connect community, just like everyone else. They take awesome photos, and we share them openly on various platforms and social media. You can also use the photos for your non-commercial purposes. It's preferable to mention that they were taken at an IT Connect event and tag the photographers.
🐶 We love animals, and our events are pet-friendly. Please keep this in mind, especially if you have allergies or other difficulties with animals.
🫶🏻 We love making friends and openly communicating, finding connections and common ground with other groups and communities, helping each other, and fostering an atmosphere of mutual support. We do not tolerate violence, insults, or discrimination. And we stay away from politics.
💲 The organizers of IT Connect events are enthusiasts, and we are not driven by profit. Everything that exists now is possible only thanks to your support. Donations enable us to host new events, cover venue expenses, order merchandise, and test different formats. So, feel free to donate or help us in any other way.
That's it for now. If you share our values and are ready to adhere to these simple rules, we look forward to seeing you at IT Connect events. Thank you for your understanding!
Hugs,
Your friends from IT Connect ❤️
