Privacy policy

Draft prepared Sun 11 Oct 2026. Not legal advice; to be reviewed and approved before launch.

Summary

• No tracking cookies, no advertising trackers and no cross-site profiling.
• We plan to use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not fingerprint visitors, to count page views. It is not active yet.
• If you contact us, submit an event or claim a listing, we use the details you send only to handle that request.
• Saved events (the heart button) are stored only in your own browser using localStorage. They never leave your device and are not a cookie; clear them on the Saved page or in your browser settings.
• Maps: the map and event-page maps load tiles directly from OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap or EOX (EOxCloudless satellite imagery), depending on the layer you choose. Those providers receive your IP address and the page address (Referer) as part of the request, under their own privacy policies. Map scripts and fonts are hosted by us.

What we collect

• Event submissions and claims: the event details plus your name, role and email address. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (running the directory) or steps you ask us to take.
• Newsletter (when launched): your email address, with your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• Analytics (when enabled): aggregate, cookieless page-view statistics via Cloudflare Web Analytics. No personal profiles.
• Hosting logs: our host (Cloudflare) may process IP addresses in server logs for security.

Organiser data

Listings contain business information about events (names, dates, venues, organiser websites) taken from public organiser pages. We do not publish personal contact details of individuals. Organisers can ask for corrections or removal at any time.

How long we keep it

[RETENTION PERIODS – TBC, e.g. submission emails kept for 24 months.]

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, and object to its use. Email us. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Cookies

This site sets no cookies. Saved events use localStorage (see above), which is strictly necessary to provide the feature you asked for. If that changes, this policy will be updated first.
