The short story
We need some data about you to assess your suitability to attend the workshop. For safety reasons, we are trying to collect as little data as possible, so we are only asking for the information we need to assess your application and organise the workshop.
We will be publishing accepted position papers on the website.
We will contact you regarding the workshop, and about related opportunities such as a journal special issue.
The only third parties we might share your data with are Interact itself and caterers.
Legally, if you don’t want us to use your data, you are entitled to withdraw it or alter it after the fact, but if you do this we may not be able to assess your suitability for the workshop.
If you have any issues or questions, please contact us.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Contact forms
The only data we collect about you is through our contact form. We are requesting some personal information, but no sensitive information.
The data we are requesting is the data relevant to
- assess your suitability to attend the workshop, and
- allow us to organise the workshop.
Who we share your data with
Organisers are based in UK, Australia, and USA, so your submission will be transferred out of the EU for reviewing.
Successful applicants will have their position papers published on the workshop website.
Your data may be shared with representatives of Interact, this workshop’s parent conference, for administrative purposes, and/or with catering organisations.
We will release your data if required by law to do so.
How long we retain your data
Accepted position papers will be retained indefinitely.
If you consent at the workshop, your contact details will be used to register you for a community mailing list or other communication solution, to foster a PD community. We intend for this community to be used for the announcement of conferences, workshops, and journal special issues, and to support collaboration for research purposes.
Aside from your contact details and information published on the website, your data will not be retained beyond the workshop.
