1.1 Delivery of images (content delivery network)

We deliver an event's images over Amazon's content delivery network (CloudFront). So that they arrive quickly and reliably everywhere, they are cached transiently at edge locations in the process — outside the EU as well. For the delivery of images the footprint is limited to the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel.

That caching exists only while the event is running. When the event ends we purge the cache; after that, nothing can be retrieved by this route.

The stored copy of an image does not leave the data region chosen at booking. The data region determines where an image is stored, processed and deleted — not every place a byte is briefly held for delivery.

For the marketing website and the applications' program files (JavaScript, stylesheets, website imagery) we use the same network with a larger footprint. Those files contain no personal data.
