We collect information you provide directly to us, including your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us through our contact form. When you submit an event, we collect your name, email address, and the event details you provide.

We also collect standard technical information automatically when you visit our site, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is collected through standard web analytics tools.

We use your email address to send you our newsletter if you have subscribed. We use contact form submissions to respond to your enquiries. We use event submission information to review and potentially publish your event on our site. We use technical data to understand how the site is used and improve it.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not share your information with anyone except as necessary to operate the site — for example, our email delivery service.
