Privacy Policy
Draft for preview — final reviewed copy ships at launch. Last updated October 2026.
What we collect
Basic analytics about visits and clicks (pages viewed, links clicked, rough traffic source), and the email address you give us if you join the newsletter. We don’t sell tickets, so we never see payment details.
How we use it
To count visits, see which events people love, improve the site, and send the newsletter you asked for. Outbound clicks to organizers are counted so we can show sponsors that placement works.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies for analytics and advertising measurement, and to remember choices like dismissing the cookie notice. You can clear or block cookies in your browser at any time.
Advertising and the Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel, a small piece of code from Meta (Facebook and Instagram), to measure our ads and to show GoBayArea ads to people who have visited the site. It tells Meta which pages you viewed and when you sign up for the newsletter, along with technical details such as your browser and IP address. It never sends your email address or anything you type. Meta handles this data under its own privacy policy. You can control ads based on your activity in your Facebook or Instagram ad preferences, block third-party cookies in your browser, or opt out at optout.aboutads.info.
Sharing
We share aggregate numbers (never your personal info) with sponsors — things like total clicks on their listing. We don’t sell personal information.
Your California rights (CCPA)
California residents can request a copy of the data we hold about them, or ask us to delete it, by emailing us. We honor these requests within 45 days.
