contact

There is deliberately no email address on this page. Hackathon France has no inbound mail routing — the domain carries no MX record, checked again on the date at the top of this page, so an address printed here would not merely go unanswered, it would bounce or vanish silently. Until there is an inbox that actually receives mail, printing an address would be worse than admitting we do not have one.

So everything routes through the submit form instead. It is a real, working endpoint, not a placeholder: it posts into the same review queue an event submission lands in, and the address you put in its contact-email field is how we reply to you. We read everything that arrives. Please allow a few days for a response. If an inbox is set up later, it will be published here and on the privacy policy, and both pages will be re-dated when it is.

who runs this site

Not answered on this page yet, and we would rather say so than fudge it. French law expects a site's publisher to identify itself — the loi pour la confiance dans l’économie numérique (LCEN, loi n° 2004-575 of 21 June 2004), article 6-III — and French sites do that on a page headed Mentions légales, giving the éditeur : … · directeur de la publication : … · hébergeur : …

The operating entity behind Hackathon France is still being settled, so there is nothing truthful to put on such a page, and we are not going to invent a company name, an address or a SIREN to fill it. A mentions légales page will be published, naming the operator, as soon as those details are provided; the privacy policy says the same thing about the data controller, which is the same party. In the meantime this form is the working route to whoever is behind it, and it is read by a human.

i want to list my hackathon

Use the submit form — it collects the dates, venue, ticket and prize details in the shape the directory needs, so your listing goes live without a round of questions. Basic listings are free.

If your event does not fit the form (a series rather than a single date, an unusual format), or you want to ask about a featured listing before committing to one, submit it anyway and put the detail in the description — the queue is reviewed by hand before anything publishes.

something in a listing is wrong

Please tell us. Listings are aggregated automatically from public event platforms, so errors do reach the site — a wrong date, a venue in the wrong city, a stale ticket price, or an event that is not really a hackathon at all.

Send a correction through the submit form — put it in the description field. To get it fixed in one message rather than three, include:

• The link to the page on this site (the francehackathons.com/events/… URL).
• What is wrong, and what it should say instead.
• Where the correct information can be confirmed — usually the organiser's own listing.
• An address in the contact-email field, so we can tell you when it is done.

Corrections are free, including for featured listings, and we do not need you to be the organiser to report one.

take my event down

Send the listing URL through the form and ask for removal. If you are the organiser, say so and it comes down — we do not require a reason and there is no charge, including if the event was a paid featured listing. Cancelled and postponed events are also worth flagging so they stop appearing as upcoming.

questions about a specific hackathon

We are a directory, not the organiser, so we cannot help with registration, refunds, team formation, judging or schedules for any individual event. Every listing has a registration link that goes to the organiser's own page — that is the right place to ask, and they will answer far faster than we could.

newsletter

Nothing is being sent yet — this edition captures signups but has no outbound mail provider attached, so no email has ever left it. To have your address deleted, send the address you signed up with through the form. See the privacy policy for what is stored (an email address and a signup timestamp — nothing else).

privacy, and your data

Requests to see, correct, delete, restrict, export or object to the handling of your personal data go through the same form, and there is no charge. The privacy policy sets out what is actually stored — which is very little — and what your rights are under the RGPD (the règlement général sur la protection des données, which is the French name for the GDPR) and the French loi Informatique et Libertés. France has a single supervisory authority for both, the CNIL (cnil.fr), and you can complain to it directly without going through us.

you have reached the wrong country

This site covers France only. If your event or your question belongs to another market, the other editions of this network have their own listings, their own contact routes and their own review queues:

• Hackathons Australia — Australia
• Canada Hackathons — Canada
• UK Hackathons — United Kingdom
• Hackathons USA — United States
• Hackathon España — Spain
• Hackathon Deutschland — Germany

French-speaking is not French. Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Monaco, Québec and the francophone countries of Africa are not covered here, in either direction — an event in Bruxelles, Genève, Lausanne, Luxembourg, Monaco, Montréal, Dakar, Abidjan, Casablanca or Tunis is out of scope and has no edition of its own yet, however French its page is. The overseas départements and collectivités — La Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyane, Mayotte and the Pacific territories — are also outside the current scope; that one is a coverage decision rather than a country one, and it may change.

Submitting a non-French event here will not get it listed in either place — the review queue turns it down, and we have no way to forward it to another edition on your behalf.

press, data and everything else

Same form. If you want to know how the listings are collected and filtered before writing about them, the about page explains the pipeline in more detail.
