Consent: Innovating for Our Identity (نبتكر لهويتنا)

1. Taking part, data and AI tools (required)

I confirm that I am the parent or legal guardian of the student named above, a student in Grades 8 to 12, and I agree that:

• My child may take part in the online workshops and the hackathon and, if their team is shortlisted, the live final.
• ETGAH collects the student's name in English and Arabic, email, grade, school and emirate, and team, and the guardian's name, relationship, email and mobile, only to run this hackathon. The data is stored in Frankfurt, Germany (Amazon Web Services). Only the ETGAH and Sandooq Al Watan staff running the program can see it, plus mentors and judges where they need to.
• ETGAH deletes this data within 30 days of the final, except where I agree to sections 2 or 3. Sandooq Al Watan keeps only anonymous totals for reporting.
• My child uses ETGAH's AI tools through a team code, not a personal account. Registration data is never sent to AI models. Students are asked not to type personal details about themselves or others. The AI provider ETGAH uses does not use what students type to train its models.
• Mentors, judges and staff contact students only in moderated team spaces, never by private message.

If I withdraw this consent, my child leaves the hackathon.

2. Camera, photos and video (an answer is required)

• My child may have their camera on during the live pitch to judges. Pitches given with the camera off are scored the same way.
• Sandooq Al Watan may share photos and video of my child, with their first name and school, in its news and social media about the hackathon.

3. Staying in touch (an answer is required)

• Sandooq Al Watan may receive my child's and my contact details so it can offer mentoring (including to winning teams) and invite us to future programs.

In sections 2 and 3 the guardian answers Yes or No to each item. Answering No never affects taking part.

Changing your mind

You can withdraw any consent at any time using the link in your confirmation email or by writing to support@etgah.com. If you withdraw photo and video consent, we stop new use, but material that has already been published cannot be recalled.

Student agreement (on the student's step)

I will do my own work with my team. Family members can test our project and share knowledge, but they will not build it. I will not enter personal information into the AI tools. I will report anything that worries me to the hackathon team at support@etgah.com.
