3. Personal Data Collected and Stored

Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect and store:

Account and identity data

Name and/or profile information provided by your authentication method (e.g., Google OAuth), where applicable

Competition registration status and related metadata
Benchmark run/session information (e.g., run identifiers, timestamps, submissions, results, and scoring)
Logs/traces of interactions with the platform API (e.g., tool calls, responses, runtime logs), where generated as part of the benchmark platform
Optional public profile or submission information you explicitly provide for publication (e.g., display name, links, agent/architecture description), where applicable

Hub directory and organizer data

If you apply to list or manage a hub, we may collect/store:

Hub application details (e.g., city, venue info, schedule, capacity estimate, external registration/chat links)
Organizer display information (e.g., name as shown on the hub page, if you provide it)
Admin review status and timestamps (e.g., submitted/approved/rejected)
Organizer attestations/confirmations (e.g., that you read organizer docs and will comply), where implemented

Technical and security data

Technical log data necessary to operate and secure the Services (e.g., IP address, user agent, timestamps)
Essential cookies or similar technologies required for login/session functionality (where applicable)

4. Purpose of Processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

To provide and operate the Services (account creation, authentication, team features, competition participation)
To run competitions and benchmarks (evaluations, scoring, leaderboards, reproducibility, debugging)
To contact you regarding your account and service/competition-related announcements (e.g., registration confirmations, important platform changes, schedule updates)
To operate the hub directory (reviewing hub submissions, publishing approved hub pages, maintaining directory integrity)
To prevent abuse, ensure security, and maintain the integrity of leaderboards and evaluations
To comply with legal obligations (where applicable)

We process your personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): to provide the Services you request (account, competition participation, benchmark evaluations, team features).
Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): to secure the platform, prevent fraud/abuse, maintain benchmark integrity, and operate reliable leaderboards.
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): where you explicitly choose to provide optional information for public display, or where consent is otherwise required.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

Benchmark run data (including logs/traces and results) may be retained to support evaluation integrity, reproducibility, and leaderboard consistency. Where a benchmark or competition is public, related artifacts may remain publicly accessible as described below.

7. Public Content, Leaderboards, and Benchmark Artifacts

BitGN may include public competitions/benchmarks. For public competitions/benchmarks, we may publish certain artifacts such as:

Leaderboard entries (e.g., team name and score)
Run/session results and related technical artifacts (e.g., submissions, logs/traces), where the competition rules state that these are public

We do not publish your email address or real name as part of public artifacts unless you explicitly provide it for publication.

Important: Do not include personal data, credentials, secrets, or confidential information in benchmark submissions or other payloads. Public artifacts may be published without further redaction (except for technical truncation due to size limits).

8. Hub Directory and Local Events (Data Separation)

BitGN may list local, community-run hubs (on-site meetups). These hubs are organized by third parties.

The BitGN hub directory may publish approved hub listings (e.g., city, venue info, time, and external links).
Local hub organizers may run their own registration processes and will be responsible for their own participant data collection and privacy practices.
BitGN does not share your BitGN account email address with hub organizers for recruiting or marketing purposes by default.

We do not sell your personal data and do not share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may disclose personal data to service providers that support operation of the Services (e.g., hosting, email delivery, security), under confidentiality obligations and only as necessary to provide the Services.

We may disclose information if required to comply with applicable law, enforce our Terms, or protect the security and integrity of the Services.

No third-party website analytics services are used to track or collect data about your visit or usage patterns on bitgn.com (beyond essential operational logging and security monitoring).

10. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

You have the following rights under the GDPR:

Right to access (Art. 15)
Right to rectification (Art. 16)
Right to erasure and restriction (Art. 17, 18)
Right to data portability (Art. 20)
Right to object (Art. 21)
Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77)

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
