1. Who we are
EventBuzz (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website at eventbuzz-beta.vercel.app (placeholder domain — will be updated to the final domain at launch) and publishes informational guides about festivals, holidays, sports events and shopping events. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@eventbuzz-beta.vercel.app.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Emails you send us — if you contact us by email or via a mailto form, we receive your email address, name (if provided) and message contents so we can reply.
- Newsletter interest — at launch our newsletter is handled by email. If a newsletter provider is added later, we will update this policy and only collect your email address with your consent.
Information collected automatically
- Server and security logs — our hosting provider may log IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages and timestamps for security, performance and abuse prevention.
- Cookies and similar technologies — see Section 4.
- Advertising and analytics partners — if enabled, partners such as Adsterra and analytics services may collect device and browsing information as described in Sections 5 and 6.
We do not require account registration to read EventBuzz, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information through this website.
3. How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the website and its content
- To respond to emails, corrections and partnership enquiries
- To understand which guides are useful so we can plan future coverage
- To display advertising that helps keep EventBuzz free to read
- To protect the website against spam, abuse and security incidents

4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. EventBuzz may use:
- Essential cookies — needed for basic site operation and security.
- Preference cookies — to remember simple choices such as display preferences, if introduced.
- Analytics cookies — if analytics is enabled, to understand aggregate usage.
- Advertising cookies — set by advertising partners (including Adsterra, when active) to deliver and measure ads.
You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them. Blocking some cookies may affect how advertising or site features behave. Where required by law, we will seek consent before using non-essential cookies.
5. Advertising — Adsterra and other partners
EventBuzz plans to display advertising through Adsterra and may work with other advertising partners in the future. At the time this policy was published, ad slots on the website are placeholders and no live ad code has been added.
When live advertising is enabled, advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect information such as IP address, browser and device details, pages viewed and ad interactions, in order to deliver, personalise (where permitted), cap and measure advertisements. We do not control the data practices of advertising partners; please review their privacy policies for details about their collection and your choices.
You can learn more about interest-based advertising choices through industry resources such as the Digital Advertising Alliance and Your Online Choices (where available in your region). Your browser may also offer “Do Not Track” or global privacy controls; we will respect applicable requirements.
6. Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate readership — for example, which articles are most visited and which categories are most useful. Analytics data is used in summary form to improve content and site performance. If a specific analytics provider is added, this policy will be updated to name it.
7. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information:
- With hosting, security, analytics and advertising service providers who process data on our behalf or as independent controllers for their services
- When required by law, court order or a lawful request from a competent authority
- To protect the rights, safety and security of EventBuzz, our readers and the public
- In connection with a business transfer, subject to confidentiality and notice where required
8. Data retention
Emails are retained only as long as needed to respond and maintain reasonable business records. Server logs are retained by our hosting provider for a limited period for security and operational purposes. If a newsletter service is introduced, your email will be retained until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to certain processing of your personal information, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To make a request, email hello@eventbuzz-beta.vercel.app. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
You may unsubscribe from any future newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us.
