Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and look after your personal information.

Draft — this policy is being finalised and will be reviewed before tickets go on general sale.

Who we are

Archfest is organised by [Company name, registered address and ICO registration number to be confirmed]. We're the "controller" of the personal information described here. You can contact us through our contact page.

What we collect

When you buy tickets

Your name, email address and what you've bought. Payments are handled securely by Stripe (and Klarna if you choose it). We never see or store your full card details.

When you apply to play

Your DJ name, real name, contact details, age, town, music details, links you share, and — for under-18s — a parent or guardian's contact details.

When you contact us

Your name, email address, any order reference and your message.

At the festival

When your ticket is scanned we record the time. The festival may be filmed and photographed.

On our website and app

We don't use advertising or tracking cookies. Your favourite sets in the Archfest app are stored on your own phone, not sent to us. To protect our forms from spam we keep a one-way code made from your connection details, which can't be turned back into your IP address.

Why we use it

Who we share it with

Only the services we need to run the festival: Stripe and Klarna (payments), our hosting provider (Hostinger, in [location to be confirmed]) and our email provider [to be confirmed]. We don't sell your information.

How long we keep it

Ticket and order records: [period to be confirmed, e.g. 6 years for accounting]. Applications to play: [period to be confirmed, e.g. 12 months after the festival]. Contact messages: [period to be confirmed].

Children

Many of our applicants and guests are under 18. We ask for a parent or guardian's details for applicants under 18 and contact them before booking any performance.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, object to how we use it, or ask us to limit it. Contact us to make a request. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
