Overview: DevFestVerse is an open virtual community event platform organized by Google Developer Groups (GDG) Cloud Bangkok. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the information you share when participating in our community events.
1. Information We Collect
When you use DevFestVerse or sign in via Google Authentication, we collect only the minimal data necessary to provide your event experience:
Google Identity Profile Data: Name, Email Address, and Avatar/Profile Picture URL obtained securely through Google Identity Services (GIS) / Google OAuth 2.0.
Event Ticket Reference: Official DevFest ticket registration codes you choose to link for Verified Badge privileges and Lucky Draw raffle entries.
In-App Customization Data: 2D custom avatar color palettes, hair styles, outfits, and accessory selections generated in the Character Studio.
Interactive Event Contributions: Questions submitted to stage Q&A sessions, event feedback ratings, and community builder showcase submissions.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information exclusively to:
Authenticate your attendance and load your personalized avatar across devices.
Display your chosen display name and avatar in the 2D virtual campus and live presence channels.
Verify official event registration and eligibility for workshop room bookings and Lucky Draw prizes.
Enable organizers and speakers to moderate live Q&A sessions and analyze aggregated feedback metrics.
3. Data Storage & Google Cloud Infrastructure
All data is securely stored on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) utilizing Google Cloud Firestore and Google Cloud Storage. We enforce strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensuring only authorized community organizers and staff can access operational directories.
4. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only integrate with official Google Developer community platforms and services required for event functionality:
Google Identity Services & Firebase: For secure authentication and OAuth token verification.
Google Cloud Platform: For serverless hosting and encrypted database storage.
5. Official Google Policies & Terms
Because DevFestVerse utilizes Google Identity Services for authentication, your Google account is governed by Google's overarching policies:
Your event attendance records and avatar customizations are retained for the duration of the event series. You may request deletion of your account and associated Firestore data at any time by contacting the organizing team or via the Back Office console.
