We only request data that is strictly necessary for the functionality of the site and the management of our physical events. The types of information we may process include:

Identity Data: This may include your name or a chosen pseudonym used for guest lists and membership verification.
Contact Details: Email addresses are primarily used for sending tickets, event updates, and account recovery.

Data Retention and Storage

We do not believe in permanent data hoarding. Our team adheres to a policy of minimal retention, meaning we keep your information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

For example, guest list data for a specific event may be purged shortly after the event has concluded, unless the user has opted into a long-term membership. Technical logs are periodically overwritten. We employ industry-standard encryption and security protocols to ensure that data stored on our servers is protected from unauthorized access or accidental leakage.

Service Providers: We may use third-party tools for email delivery or payment processing. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use the data to perform the specific task assigned to them.
Legal Requirements: In rare instances, we may be required to disclose information if mandated by a valid legal order to protect the safety of the public or our staff.
