PaperCall Terms of Use

Updated At May 25th, 2018

1. Who We Are

1.1 PaperCall.io

Welcome to PaperCall! We are a event and speaker management platform, helping speakers find opportunities to share their expertise and helping events create amazing speaker lineups.

1.2 The Services

PaperCall’s websites and domains, including www.papercall.io, and all of the webpages, subdomains and subparts of those websites (collectively, our “Site”), all of the services available on or through the Site or otherwise provided by us, including our API (application programming interface) are offered, maintained and provided by PaperCall. We refer to all of these as our “Services.”

1.3 Users

Through the Services, PaperCall provides a platform registered users to find, attend, speak at, and organize events. These registered users are known collectively as “Users”. In the context of an event, Users are also event organizers (“Organizers”) and the users who are creating or submitting talks for selection from said events are known known as “Speakers”. We refer to Organizers, Speakers and other visitors and browsers of the Services collectively as “Users”, “Organizers”, “Speakers” or “you.”

1.4 Contracting Party

The Services are being provided to you by, and you are entering into these Terms of Service with, SharkJump LLC., a Wyoming LLC doing business as PaperCall.io with its principal place of business at 412 N Main St Suite 100 Buffalo, Wyoming 82834 (“PaperCall US”).

For purposes of these Terms of Service, PaperCall US, as applicable, shall be referred to as “PaperCall,” “us,” “we” or “our.”

1.5 Privacy Policy

PaperCall only collect information explicitly shared with us. That includes your email and name from your single-sign-on provider when you register so we can email you updates after you’ve submitted talks. Beyond that the only data we collect is the submissions you’ve explicitly created on our platform and choose to submit to conferences. Submissions can only be seen by you and the event organizers to whom you are submitting. These are kept confidential until accepted and published.

All of our information is stored, encrypted, inside of a Google Cloud datacenter. Information is kept indefinitely unless you decide to delete your account, in which case you can just email us (support@papercall.io)

Your information is shared with events that you explicitly submit to, as well as made public when you mark a talk as “public”. For corporate customers, we also let speakers opt-in to share information with their organization. No third parties collect personal information or have access to the information we have collected.

We do use cookies to track your logged in session, once logged out that cookie is destroyed.

Users are able to delete any information they want about themselves from our platform or choose ask us to terminate their account (termination is permanent).

6.4 Release

PaperCall provides a platform in which Speakers and Organizers can interact.

In addition, you waive any applicable law or statute, which says, in substance:
