OÜ DarkStar HD (Estonian registry code 16989177), trading as Darkstar Coalition, is the data controller for the personal data processed through darkstar.ee and futurearmy.camp. We organise defence technology bootcamps and related events.
This policy applies to personal data we collect from applicants to our bootcamp programmes (via futurearmy.camp and darkstar.ee), from visitors to our websites, and from individuals who contact us directly. It does not cover data processing by the startups, military units, investors, or other organisations participating in our events.
When you apply to a bootcamp via our Typeform application form, we collect the information you submit. This typically includes: your name, email address, phone number, company name and role, country of residence, a description of your product or technology, and any supporting materials you choose to upload (pitch decks, technical documentation, videos).
Our websites collect standard web analytics data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URL. Both darkstar.ee and futurearmy.camp are static sites hosted on AWS.
If you email us or contact us through other channels, we process the content of those communications and your contact details.
| Purpose | Data used | Legal basis | Retention |

| Evaluate bootcamp applications | All applicant data submitted via Typeform | Legitimate interest | 2 years after the relevant bootcamp |
| Communicate with applicants about their application and event logistics | Name, email, phone | Legitimate interest / contract performance | 2 years after the relevant bootcamp |
| Improve our programmes and track ecosystem impact | Aggregated and anonymised application data | Legitimate interest | Indefinitely (anonymised) |

| Respond to enquiries | Contact details, message content | Legitimate interest | 1 year after last contact |
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing purposes unrelated to our bootcamp programmes unless you have given explicit consent.
We use a small number of third-party service providers to operate our programmes. Your personal data may be processed by the following providers, all of whom are bound by data processing agreements:
| Provider | What they do | Data involved | Location |

| Google LLC (Google Workspace) | Processing and evaluating applicant data | Applicant data | EU / US |
| Amazon Web Services (AWS) | Hosts darkstar.ee and futurearmy.camp; provides cloud infrastructure | IP addresses, web traffic logs | EU (Frankfurt) |
Some of our service providers process data in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we rely on the following safeguards:
Google and Typeform are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or rely on SCCs for transfers.
We implement technical and organisational measures to protect your data. These include: access controls limiting data access to authorised team members, encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest where supported by our providers, two-factor authentication on all accounts with access to applicant data, and regular review of access permissions.
Our infrastructure is subject to application-level security controls including input validation, secure session management, and protection against common web application vulnerabilities. Network-level protections include firewalled environments, least-privilege access policies, and continuous monitoring of access patterns.
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Estonian data protection law, you have the following rights:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@darkstar.ee. We will respond within 30 days.
If you believe we have not handled your data correctly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon) at aki.ee, or with the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
Both darkstar.ee and futurearmy.camp are static websites hosted on AWS CloudFront. We use Google Analytics for basic traffic measurement. No third-party advertising or tracking cookies are placed. Where required by law, cookie consent is obtained before non-essential cookies are set.
Our services are not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on darkstar.ee and futurearmy.camp. The effective date at the top of this document will be updated accordingly.
