Where our event information comes from

Music Festival Event collects public event information from approved data sources:

• Ticketmaster is a data source for event listings, event images and artist images.

Events can also be submitted by visitors; those are reviewed before they appear.

City and location data contains data from GeoNames, licensed under CC BY 4.0.

What we store about you

• Optional visitor accounts. You only need an account to keep saved events on every device. For each account we store its email address, a one-way hash of its password (never the password itself), an optional name, the ID and email of a connected Google account, the events it saved, and its sign-in sessions with a one-way code derived from your network address. Sign-in cookies are strictly necessary and are not used for tracking, and account pages do not load visit statistics. Deleting the account from its page deletes all of this.
• Saved events. The list of events you save is stored in your browser's local storage. To show that list, the page sends the saved events' IDs to Music Festival Event to look up their current details; we do not keep the list. Clearing your browser data removes it. While you are signed in, the list is kept with your account instead, so it follows you to your other devices.
• Visit statistics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited and how visitors find us. It counts visits without cookies and does not store your network address, and we do not send it anything you type into a form. Admin pages are not measured.
• Language suggestions. When you dismiss a language suggestion or choose a language, we set a cookie in this browser for up to one year so the suggestion stays hidden. It does not redirect you or sync between devices.
• Events near you. To show events near you on the homepage, we use the approximate location that our host, Vercel, works out from your network address for that page request. We do not store it. If you choose a city, we keep your choice in a cookie in this browser for up to one year. You can change it, or go back to the approximate location, at any time. If this location is unavailable, your browser may ask permission to locate you. We use those coordinates only to select a nearby city and do not retain them. The detected city is kept in a separate cookie for up to one day; a city you choose takes priority.
• Event submissions. When you submit an event we store what you entered in the form. To limit abuse we also keep a one-way, daily-changing code derived from your network address; we never store the address itself.
