I used a generic privacy policy generator, because I'm not a lawyer and<br>
I needed something in order to use external authentication systems :)<br>

GetTogether itself doesn't collect anything other than what you choose<br>
to give it, and you can change that at any time. There's not currently a<br>
way to delete your user account, but that can be added with a bit of<br>
work. I'm not sure what all GDPR requires.<br>

Yes, it absolutely is! I have GetTogether setup in Transifex already,<br>
and Django natively supports localization. But there is work needed to<br>
go through the codebase and mark any strings for translation (it's very<br>
hit or miss right now)<br>

Thanks! Hosting is pretty cheap right now, and I have hopes to be able<br>
to get recurring sponsorship (from GNOME and other orgs) to make it<br>
sustainable and still free for all users.<br>
<br>
There is a longer-term goal to be able to host branded instances, so for<br>
example <a href="http://events.gnome.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">events.gnome.org</a> could point to a view that shows only GNOME<br>
teams and events. It's also possible to host your own instance and<br>
federate event data between them (what is federated is pretty limited<br>
right now, but some contributors are looking into making it fully<br>
ActivityPub compliant).<br>
