Privacy notice

This notice explains what personal data we collect for All In, the poker bot tournament, what we do with it and your rights. Kernl Digital Ltd ("we" or "us") is responsible for your data: company number 17242377, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom.

The short version

01 What we collect

  1. 1.1

    When you sign up: your name, email address, occupation and university or organisation, plus, if you give them, your GitHub username, LinkedIn profile, CV, something you've built and your puzzle answer.

  2. 1.2

    If you get a place, we'll ask about any dietary or access needs in the information pack. Telling us is optional. These can reveal health or religion, so we'll ask for your explicit consent, use them only to arrange food and access on the night, and share them only with the venue or caterer as needed.

  3. 1.3

    At the event: that you checked in, which team you're on, the code you submit, and your bot's games and scores.

  4. 1.4

    When you visit the site: our hosting provider handles technical data such as your IP address to serve the site and keep it secure. We also use PostHog to count how people find and use the site: which link brought you here, your IP address and rough location, your device and browser, how far you scroll and whether you finish the form. It never gets what you type and sets no cookies. To turn it off, use the link at the bottom of the home page.

  5. 1.5

    If you win a cash prize: your name and bank details, to pay it.

  6. 1.6

    If we take photos or video at the event, you may appear in them. Tell an organiser if you'd rather not.

03 Who we share it with

  1. 3.1

    Our co-host, AI Builders LCR, to help run the event. They get names, team names and results, nothing else.

  2. 3.2

    Companies that provide services to us: Cloudflare, which hosts the site and stores registrations and CVs, PostHog, which measures how the site is used and stores that data in the EU, Resend, which sends our emails, and our bank, to pay prizes. They can only use your data to provide those services.

  3. 3.3

    Your teammate sees your name, and we email you when someone joins or leaves your team. Other participants and the audience see team names, scores and featured hands on screen.

  4. 3.4

    TechYard Limited (techyard.ai), our lead sponsor and a tech recruitment firm, only if you tick the box, which is optional and separate from registering. It gets your signup details, any CV and your team's results, so it can contact you about internships and jobs, including roles with its clients. It never gets your puzzle answers or any dietary or access needs. It handles your details under its own privacy notice. To withdraw, untick the box at your private link before registration closes, or email ollie@kernldigital.com, and we'll stop sharing your details and tell TechYard. If we add another sponsor, we'll ask you first.

  5. 3.5

    Authorities, when the law requires it.

    Some of our providers may handle data outside the UK. When they do, it's protected as UK law requires, for example by a UK adequacy decision or approved contract terms.
