ConfPulse shows a curated list of developer conferences, their schedules, and the speakers giving the talks. This policy explains what the app does with your data, and what it shows about the people who speak.

The short version: ConfPulse has no accounts, collects nothing about you, and sends us nothing. There is no analytics SDK, no advertising identifier, and no server we operate. Some features open pages run by other services (Apple Maps, Google Calendar, a speaker’s newsletter); section 3 says exactly which, and what each one receives.

1. What ConfPulse collects about you

Nothing.

There are no user accounts, no sign-in, and no profile. The app does not ask for or receive your name, phone number, contacts, photos, calendar contents, location, or advertising identifier. It contains no analytics, attribution, crash-reporting, or advertising SDK.

We do not receive any data from the app, because there is no server of ours for it to send data to.

The one thing you can type into the app is an email address, in the newsletter box on a speaker’s page, and only if you choose to subscribe. We never receive or store it: it is handed straight to the speaker’s own newsletter page (section 3, “Newsletters”).

2. Information about speakers

The app shows information about the people who speak at conferences: a name, and, for many, a photo, a job title and company, a short biography, links to their public profiles (for example GitHub, X, LinkedIn, a website), and the talks they give.

This information comes from two public sources:

Talk titles, times, and rooms come from the conference’s published programme.

Claiming, correcting, and removing. If you are listed and want to take over your profile, see Claim your profile. If you want something corrected or your profile removed, email valentin.ranshakov@gmail.com and we will do so promptly. A removed profile disappears from the app on its next refresh. Because the repository is public, a copy of an earlier version may still exist in its history or in a cache outside our control.

For people in the EU or UK: we publish this information on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a directory of publicly announced conference programmes, and you have the rights in section 6.

3. Network connections the app makes

ConfPulse makes network requests only to display content. As with any internet request, the service that answers it receives your device’s IP address and standard request metadata, and its own privacy policy governs what it does with them. We send none of these services anything about you.

Content the app downloads

Maps

Calendars (“Add to Calendar” on a conference page; the app never reads your calendars)

Newsletters (only if a speaker has one, and only if you tap Subscribe)

Links that leave the app

Tapping a conference’s Visit link, a speaker’s profile links, or a talk’s Slides or Recording opens that page in your browser or an in-app browser. Once you are there, that site’s own privacy policy applies; we have no involvement in what it does.

4. What ConfPulse stores on your device

Data What it is
Cached conference list, schedules, and speaker directory Copies of the data the app last downloaded, saved to the app’s private cache so it opens instantly and still works offline.
Saved conferences The list of conferences you chose to save (their identifiers only), kept in the app’s private storage. It is used only inside the app and is never sent anywhere.

The cached data is the public conference and speaker information the app displays; it holds nothing about you. Both items are removed when you delete the app.

5. Tracking

ConfPulse does not track you. It does not collect data for advertising, does not build a profile of you, and does not share, sell, or disclose any personal information about you, because it does not collect any in the first place. No App Tracking Transparency prompt appears because the app has nothing to ask permission for.

6. Children and your rights

ConfPulse is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Since the app holds no data about you, there is nothing for us to provide, correct, export, or delete about you as a user; everything it stores is local to your device and removed when you delete the app. If you are a speaker, the information in section 2 is about you, and you can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, or remove it, using the contact below. If you are in the EU or UK you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

7. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version is published at this URL and the “Last updated” date above changes with it. Material changes will be reflected before or alongside the app update that causes them.
