The Victoria International Privacy & Security Summit and its organizers are dedicated to providing an inclusive and harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, race, ethnicity, country of origin, age or religion.  We do not tolerate harassment of conference delegates in any form. Conference delegates violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference, without a refund, at the discretion of the conference organizers.  If a delegate engages in harassing behaviour, event organizers retain the right to take any action to keep the event a welcoming environment for all delegates.  This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the conference.  We expect delegates to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social activities.

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it to conference organizers as soon as possible.

If you are in an unsafe situation, please call 911.
