CISO.POKER is operated by CyberAdX Network, part of CISO Marketplace ("we", "us", "our"). This policy explains what data we collect when you use this site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data. We collect only what we need to run our events. We do not sell your data.
When you apply for a seat at The Stack or another CISO.POKER event, we collect:
This information is used solely to evaluate and process your seat application and to communicate with you about the event.
When you submit a sponsorship inquiry, we collect name, title, company, email, phone, website, sponsorship category, contribution range, and any message you include. This is used only to respond to your inquiry and, if applicable, to execute a sponsorship agreement.
CISO.POKER events use NFC-embedded poker chips that log anonymous tap data when scanned. Each chip contains a locked URL that routes through tag.ciso.poker — a Cloudflare Worker that records the tap and redirects your phone. No app, no account, and no permission is required to tap a chip.
What is captured on every tap (server-side):
What is captured from the browser after redirect (profile page beacon):
What is never captured from taps: raw IP addresses, GPS or device location, phone identifiers, names, emails, or any data requiring explicit browser permission.
Post-event: Chips remain active after the event. Taps are logged under the same data model indefinitely. Chip destinations are updated server-side — no chip is ever physically modified.
Select CISO.POKER events feature FeltIQ, our real-time anonymous intelligence capture platform. FeltIQ operates on a zero-PII model. There are two participation modes, with different privacy characteristics:
In both cases: no names, emails, or device identifiers are stored in FeltIQ. The NFC chip system (tag.ciso.poker) and FeltIQ maintain separate databases. The chip token is the only shared identifier — neither system exposes the other's data. Aggregate response data is published post-event under CC BY 4.0. FeltIQ participation is voluntary. See the FeltIQ Terms & Data Use Agreement for full details.
The registration form for FeltIQ-enabled events records that you acknowledged the FeltIQ Terms at the time of application. This acknowledgment is stored alongside your application data and subject to the same retention policies.
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics collects anonymized usage data including pages visited, time on site, and general geographic region. We do not use this data to identify individuals. You can opt out via Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. Turnstile processes minimal browser signals to verify human interaction. No personal data is stored by Turnstile beyond what is necessary for this verification. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Form submissions are stored in a Cloudflare D1 database (serverless SQLite) hosted in Cloudflare's infrastructure. Transactional emails are sent via Resend. Both services operate under their own data processing agreements. We retain application data for the duration of the event cycle (typically 12 months post-event), after which it is purged.
We do not use your data for advertising, lead generation, or any purpose unrelated to CISO.POKER events. We do not share your data with sponsors or third parties except as required to operate the event (e.g., venue logistics).
By submitting an application or inquiry, you consent to receive transactional emails related to your submission — confirmations, decisions, and event logistics. We do not send unsolicited marketing email. Every email includes a way to reach us at [email protected] to opt out of further communications.
CISO.POKER events are professionally filmed for recap and promotional use. No names, titles, or company affiliations are used in footage without explicit consent. Face blurring is available on request at check-in. Final table live streaming, where applicable, is opt-in only — participants choose how they are identified on stream.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Request." We will respond within 30 days.
This site does not use first-party cookies for tracking or advertising. Google Analytics may set cookies per its standard implementation. Cloudflare may set security-related cookies as part of its infrastructure. No persistent tracking cookies are set by CISO.POKER directly.
