  • We are the custodians of any data that you, the user of our website, provide us with via the forms on our website or via any other means of contacting us.

  • Our general aim is to ensure the maximum protection and minimal of sharing for any information you would regard as personal. There are, however, always cases where information must be shared such as due to legal obligations. These are all detailed in the privacy statement below.

We offer two different types of service:

1. For the general public we provide information about events and information about the themes of the events. Where a member of the public explicitly provides us with personal information we will use the details in the manner that would reasonably be expected. For example it is reasonable for you to expect us to use your email address to send you email, your postal address to send you post, your phone number to phone you, etc. Other than that we do not share your details with anyone unless legally obliged to do so.
2. For event organisers we publish information to the general public about the organiser's events. We are the data controller for any personal information relating to the creation of and running of the event organisers account with us. With regard to the information that the event organiser publishes on our site we act as a data processor for the event organiser who is data controller for the information that they publish on our site.

Personal Data


We collect and use your data for the purpose we describe with each service we provide and in these cases we only collect the minimal information required to provide the service to you.

We collect statistical data about visits to our website. Some of this is personal data such as IP address that is logged for the purpose of crime prevention and detection.

We may use your personal data as necessary for the protection and assertion of our legitimate interests, our legal rights, your legal rights, the legal rights of others or to comply with a legal obligation.

We will ask you to provide your personal data directly to payment processors in order to complete payments to us.

As many companies must do we contract other companies to provide a part of our service in the capacity of a data processor. In these cases some of your personal information may be required to provide the specific part of the service we have contracted. It is only supplied on condition that the information is solely used to fulfil the service. We only use companies that we have checked are suitable. These are the situations where we use data processors:

We use cloud service providers for web hosting and for email

Details of transfers to third country and safeguards


All our services are hosted solely on cloud platforms provided by our trusted suppliers. All web hosting services we provide are based in Europe with a cloud service provider who is compliant with ISO/IEC 27001:2013. Other servers reside in the UK, European Union, Canada and the USA. Canada is recognised by the EU as having privacy laws that are compatible with the GDPR and US companies that are Privacy Shield Certified are also recognised as having adequate legal protection. All USA companies we use are Privacy Shield certified, and all organisations in non-EU countries that we use are contracted to comply with GDPR legislation. All disks that hold customer or business information of any kind whether connected to servers or desktops are either in Enterprise-Grade secure facilities or encrypted at rest or both. Procedures are in place for ensuring the destruction of data on decommissioned equipment.

The only recipients of personal data for which we are the controller may be:
1) Postal services if we use them to deliver physical mail. The postal services use the recipient address information displayed on the packaging in order to deliver the package.
2) Any email service providers who form the pathway from our email servers to the recipients email address. Email delivery depends on the recipient email address contained in the message headers.
3) Our purpose is to publish contact information regarding events. This information is made publicly available. This information is controlled by the owner of the account who supplies this information to us.
