Privacy
Last updated 8 November 2026
Draft, written for evends' first events. It has not yet been reviewed by a Cypriot lawyer.
We keep as little about you as we can, and we never sell it.
Who is responsible
TODO: registered business name, TODO: registered address, Cyprus (“evends”) is the data controller for this website. When you buy a ticket, the organiser of that event receives your details too and becomes a separate controller for its own use of them. Contact: hello@evends.com.
What we collect, and why
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your name and email when you buy | To issue and send your tickets, and to contact you about the event (changes, cancellations, refunds) | Contract |
| Whether you ticked “send me news” | So the organiser may email you about future events | Consent, which you can withdraw any time |
| Ticket use: when it was scanned | To stop the same ticket being used twice | Contract |
| Band applications: names, email, phone, links | To consider and reply to the application | Steps before a contract |
| Order and payment records | Accounting and tax law | Legal obligation |
We never see or store your card number. Payments are handled by Stripe, which acts as a controller for payment data under its own privacy policy.
Who we share it with
- The organiser of the event you bought tickets for.
- The venue hosting it, which sees only your name, how many tickets were in your booking and of which type, and whether you have arrived — so it can plan tables and check people in. Not your email, and not what you paid.
- Stripe (payments), ZeptoMail by Zoho (sending email, EU data centre) and Fly.io (hosting, in Frankfurt), only as needed to run the service.
How long we keep it
Ticket and order data: six years after the event, because accounting law requires it. Applications that don't go ahead: one year. You can ask us to delete anything we are not required to keep.
Cookies
Only the ones needed to make the site work: signing in door staff and the admin. No tracking, no advertising cookies, no analytics that follow you.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, or to correct, delete or move it, or object to how it is used. Email hello@evends.com. You may also complain to the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection in Cyprus (dataprotection.gov.cy).
