Privacy

What this site collects

Nothing. There is no account to create, no form to submit, no newsletter to join and no comment box. No page on this site asks for your name, your email address, your institution or your credentials, and none of them has anywhere to put an answer if you gave one.

Every page is generated ahead of time and served as a finished document. There is no database behind this site and no server-side code that runs when you visit it.

No analytics, no tracking, no cookies

• No analytics. No page-view counter, no heatmap, no session recording, no tag manager. Nobody is measuring how you read this.
• No advertising or measurement tags. No conversion pixels, no remarketing, no social buttons, no third-party scripts of any kind.
• No cookies. This site sets none, and nothing it serves asks your browser to store one.
• Self-hosted typefaces. The three faces this site uses are downloaded at build time and served from this domain, so opening a page makes no request to a font host and no font provider learns you were here.
• No embeds.No video players, no embedded maps, no chat widgets — no fonts, scripts, frames or images loaded from anyone else’s server. Where this site sends you to another service it uses a plain link, which is the difference between you choosing to visit a third party and this site calling one on your behalf.

What is stored in your browser

Two preferences, both of them yours, both of them held on your own device in your browser’s local storage:

• Your colour theme — light or dark — under the key theme. Stored so the site does not flash the wrong theme at you on the next page.
• Your motion preference, set with the control in the header, under the key spectrum-urology:reduce-motion. Stored so you only have to ask once.

Neither is sent to a server, neither is readable by any other site, and neither identifies you. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes both. If storage is unavailable — private browsing, or a browser configured to block it — the site falls back to its defaults and works exactly as well.

What a web server necessarily sees

A server cannot send you a page without receiving a request for it. This site is deployed on Vercel, and its servers process the ordinary technical details of each request — the IP address it came from, the browser’s user-agent string, the page asked for, the time — in order to deliver the page and keep the service running and secure. That processing is the hosting provider’s, under its own terms.

This site’s own code does not read those logs, store them, enrich them, or connect them to a person. No profile is built from them, and nothing here can link a request to a name, because nothing here has a name to link it to.

Registration and payment happen somewhere else

This is the part of the notice that matters, because it is the only point at which you are asked for anything. The registration page is still this site: it publishes the fee schedule and asks you for nothing. Its Register button opens the organiser’s registration and payment portal in a new tab, hosted at cvent.me and operated by Cvent on the organisers’ behalf. That handoff is where this site ends.

Everything you enter there — your name, your professional details, your contact details, your payment card — is collected and processed by that portal and by the conference organisers, under Cvent’s privacy policy and the organisers’ own terms. This notice does not cover it and cannot: a different company holds that data.

Nothing comes back the other way. This site receives no attendee list, no confirmation, no shared identifier and no callback from the portal. It does not know whether you registered, and it has no way to find out.

The sites this one links to

The registration portal above is a separate service, run by other people under its own privacy policy, and so is anywhere else this site links out to. Read theirs when you get there; this one stops at the link.

The links themselves are ordinary links. Following one does what following a link always does — your browser may tell the destination which page you came from. Nothing is added to them, and no identifier of yours travels along.

What this notice does not claim

This notice does not name a data protection officer, publish an address for rights requests, or describe a procedure for access, correction or erasure — because no such office or procedure has been set up for this site. Pointing you at a process that does not exist would be worse than saying so plainly.

There is also very little for one to act on here: this site holds no personal data of yours, so there is nothing on it to access, correct or delete. Requests about the details you gave the registration portal belong with the conference organisers and with Cvent, who are the ones holding them.

Changes to this notice

If this site ever gains something that does collect data — an enquiry form, an analytics tag, an embedded video, a mailing list — this notice is updated before that goes live, and it says what changed. It is written as a description of the code, not as a disclaimer, which is the only way it stays true.

As it stands, it describes the site as published.
