Platform's privacy policy
We take data security seriously at MyOwnConference and are committed to safeguarding and taking responsibility for the integrity of our users’ data. We only store essential data needed to provide our services, including your name or pseudonym, email address, encrypted password, and IP address.
We recognize the critical nature of data confidentiality in the course of our service provision. This document serves to clarify our responsibilities towards the personal data that you entrust to us. We rigorously follow the regulations outlined in the General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and the Council, passed on 27 April 2016, which deals with the protection and free movement of personal data.
Your personal data, such as email, password, first and last name, and company information, is managed by Akovana LLC, located at Didzioji Street 18, 01128, Vilnius, Lithuania.
We recommend that you revisit this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about any potential updates or changes.
Data we collect
When you visit our website, user account, or webinar rooms, we may gather and store information about you to ensure we provide top-tier services. For example, we log details such as the date and time of your last visit and your personalized settings in your account and webinar rooms. Meanwhile, we strive to reduce the volume of data we collect, capturing only what’s necessary to deliver excellent service.
We obtain and retain your personal data to:
- Supply you with appropriate service quality.
- Inform you about our other products and/or services.
We may also gather the following information:
- If you choose to disclose your real first and last name.
- Your email address, which we need for the user login procedure.
- Your company address and banking information if you’re making a payment on behalf of a company.
- Any further information you provide voluntarily, either through customer support or at our request, accompanied by your explicit consent to process your personal data.
Our data processing method
We will only use your personal information to provide service for holding webinars, automated webinars, live streams, web conferences, or organizing such events. We try and pledge not to use this information for any other purposes without your explicit consent, which you provide at the time of registration or during interactions with our online representatives. With your permission obtained at registration, we may send you publications and promotional information about our products and services and monitor your interest in them.
At MyOwnConference, access to your personal data may be granted to our staff and support consultants but only to those individuals who need this information to manage and provide service to your account.

Protection of personal information
Our data centers adhere strictly to the TIER-III standard and are positioned within the confines of the European Union. This assures the optimal level of protection for your data stored on the servers we lease. We also employ end-to-end TLS encryption, ensuring that the data transferred within and among data centers is carried out solely via SSL tunnels.
Both within and outside of our system, your data is safeguarded using SSL certificates of 2,048 and 4,096 bits, and all transmissions occur exclusively through these secure channels. Further, we utilize end-to-end AES-128 encryption while transmitting your webcam and microphone feeds during webinars, live broadcasts, or web conferences.
We are committed to establishing rigorous procedures to prevent your data from being lost, accessed without authorization, misused, modified, or exposed. All our employees who handle your personal information are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before they commence work.
In the interest of security, we neither solicit nor store your payment card details or other payment-related information in our data centers. Payment processing companies we collaborate with, like Paysera or PayPal, receive, process, and secure this data in their own data centers, in compliance with their individual requirements and regulations for personal data handling.
Occasionally, we may provide links to third-party websites. If you choose to click on these links, you will navigate away from our website or account. Our privacy policy does not extend to these websites. We cannot be held accountable for the content of these sites or how they manage the confidentiality of your personal data. We advise you to review the privacy policy of each website you visit.
When you use a banner, logo, or sales button (CTA, call-to-action) in your webinar room, you assume responsibility for directing your webinar attendees to third-party websites.
Data sharing with third parties
Rest assured that we do not sell or distribute your personal data. However, if EU legislation breaches by our users, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information. We may also share your data with law enforcement, governmental agencies, or approved third-party organizations if there’s a valid request related to preventing terrorist activities, prosecuting crimes, suspected unlawful actions, or other activities that could potentially lead to legal liability for you, us, or any user.
Moreover, we might need to disclose personal information during business transactions, such as mergers or asset sales. In these situations, we will require the recipient to maintain the same standard of personal data protection that we uphold within our company.
