Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. These cookies may include:
- Comment cookies: These store your name, email address, and website for your convenience so you don’t have to fill them in again when you leave another comment. They last for one year.
- Session cookies: These temporary cookies help determine if your browser accepts cookies and are discarded when you close your browser.
- Login cookies: These allow us to remember your login information for two days if you choose “Remember Me.” They are removed when you log out.
- Content editing cookies: These are used for a short period (1 day) to track content you are editing.
Embedded Content
Articles on this site may include embedded content from other websites (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). This embedded content behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
We will not share your information with any third party except:
- Service providers we use to help operate our website and manage your festival experience, such as those who assist with email marketing or website analytics.
- Legal authorities if required by law.
We will only share the minimum amount of information necessary with these third parties.
How Long We Retain Your Data
- If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
- For users that register on our website (if applicable), we will also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
