Privacy Policy
How Sydney Crypto Events collects, uses, and protects the personal information of visitors to sydneytdyl.com, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
This Privacy Policy describes how Sydney Crypto Events ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects the personal information of visitors to sydneytdyl.com. We are committed to ensuring the privacy and security of your data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this document.
Sydney Crypto Events operates a directory of blockchain, Web3, and cryptocurrency conferences, workshops, and meetups in Sydney, Australia. This policy applies to all pages and features on our site, including newsletter subscriptions, event submission forms, and any contact channels you use to reach our team.
Data Collection and Usage
We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you subscribe to our newsletter, submit an event, or contact us through our website. This may include your name, email address, and professional affiliation. We use this information solely to provide the services you have requested, such as sending event updates or facilitating partnerships.
We do not collect sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for a specific service you have authorized. For example, if you submit an event listing, we may ask for your role at the organising company so that we can verify the listing is legitimate. We never collect financial details, wallet addresses, private keys, or identity documents through our website forms.
- ◆ Name and email address
- ◆ Professional affiliation or company name
- ◆ Event submission details and descriptions
- ◆ Messages you send through our contact form
- ◆ Sending newsletter and event updates
- ◆ Reviewing and publishing submitted events
- ◆ Responding to partnership or media enquiries

Log Data and Analytics
Like many website operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site. This may include your computer's IP address, browser type, browser version, and the pages you visit. We use this data for internal analytics purposes to improve the functionality and user experience of our directory. This information is typically aggregated and does not identify individual users.
We use standard analytics tools to understand which event categories draw the most interest, how visitors discover Sydney Crypto Events, and which pages need clearer formatting or more complete listings. We do not use log data to build personal profiles, sell insights to third parties, or target you with advertising on other websites. If our analytics vendor changes, we will update this section to reflect the new arrangement.
Third-Party Event Platforms
Our website contains links to external event registration platforms such as Eventbrite, Meetup, and private corporate portals. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit through a link on our platform. Your interaction with these sites is subject to their own terms and conditions.
- → When you click a registration link on our directory, you leave sydneytdyl.com and enter a platform operated by a separate company with its own data practices.
- → Any account you create, payment you submit, or information you share on those platforms is governed by that platform's own privacy policy, not ours.
- → We list events in good faith based on publicly available information, but we cannot control how third-party organisers handle attendee data once you register.
Data Retention and Security
We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We periodically review our security protocols to ensure they meet current industry standards.
In practical terms, newsletter subscriber records are kept while your subscription is active and removed shortly after you unsubscribe. Event submission details are retained while the listing is live on our directory and for a limited period afterwards in case of corrections or queries. Contact form messages are kept long enough to respond and handle follow-up, after which they are deleted from our active systems.
Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties for marketing purposes. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website or conducting our business, provided they agree to keep this information confidential. We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid request from a law enforcement agency.
- + Hosting and email delivery providers under contract
- + Analytics vendors processing data on our behalf
- + Legal disclosure where required by Australian law
- − Sale to data brokers or marketing networks
- − Cross-site advertising or retargeting campaigns
- − Promotional offers from unaffiliated third parties
Your Rights and Access
Under the Australian Privacy Act, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request that it be corrected or deleted. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided on our Contact page. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with our legal obligations. You may also opt out of our marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails.
When you submit an access or correction request, we may need to verify your identity to protect against unauthorised disclosure. This is a standard step and helps ensure that personal information is only released to the person it belongs to. We do not charge a fee for lodging a privacy request, though we may ask you to narrow the scope if your request is unusually broad.
Email [email protected] with a brief description of your request. Include the name and email address you used when subscribing or submitting an event so we can locate your records.

Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the effective date at the top of the policy will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
If we make a material change — for example, introducing a new data processing activity or changing how we handle newsletter records — we will also post a notice on our home page or send an email to active subscribers before the change takes effect. Minor edits, such as clarifying wording or updating contact details, will be reflected in the effective date without separate notice.
