Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 07/22/2023

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information gathered from users of our platform, which connects event service providers and the general public. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect:

• Personal Information:
  • When users sign up or use our services, we may collect personal information, including but not limited to names, email addresses, contact numbers, and billing details.
  • Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
  • Media: If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
  • Cookies: If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
  • Embedded content from other websites: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
• Service Provider Information: Event service providers may submit additional details about their products and services, including images and descriptions, to enhance their listings.

2. How We Use Personal Information:

• Providing Services: We use personal information to facilitate connections between event service providers and customers, enabling seamless bookings and communication.
• Communication: We may use personal information to communicate with users regarding their inquiries, transactions, or platform updates.
• Marketing: With user consent, we may use personal information to send promotional offers and newsletters. Users can opt-out of marketing communications at any time.

3. Sharing of Information:

• Service Providers: Users’ personal information, excluding financial details, may be shared with event service providers to fulfill bookings and provide their services.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose personal information when required by law, or in response to legal requests or court orders.

4. Data Security:

• We employ industry-standard security measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
• Although we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee the security of personal information transmitted over the Internet. Users provide information at their own risk.

5. Data Retention:

• We retain personal information as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
• Service provider information may remain in our system even after their listing is removed, for administrative and legal purposes.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies:

• We may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, analyze usage patterns, and improve our services. Users can manage cookie preferences through their web browsers.

7. Third-Party Links:

• Our platform may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these websites. Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of third-party sites.

8. Children’s Privacy:

• Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware of such information being provided, we will promptly delete it.

9. What rights you have over your data: If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
10. Changes to Privacy Policy:

• We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices. Users will be notified of significant updates via email or by a prominent notice on our website.
