Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 5th, 2025

Dart.Events ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at https://dart.events (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information Collection and Use

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

• Personal Data

  While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:

  • Email address
  • Password (stored securely, we cannot access your plain text password)
  • Username (if applicable)
  • Any personal information you choose to include in event submissions (e.g., name, phone number if you include it in the description).
  • Any personal information included in communications with us.
  
  

• Usage Data

  We may also collect information how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

• Location Data (Related to Events)

  When you submit or view event listings, location data (city, state, address) associated with the event is collected and displayed publicly as part of the event details. This is data about the *event*, not necessarily your personal location, unless you submit an event at your personal address and include it.

  We may use third-party services like Google Maps to display event locations and OpenWeatherMap to provide weather forecasts. These services may collect and process location information sent from your browser (for maps) or sent from our server (event location for weather forecast).

2. How We Collect Information

• **Directly from You:** We collect information when you create an account, submit an event listing, contact us, or otherwise voluntarily provide data.
• **Automatically:** We collect certain information automatically as you navigate the site, using technologies like cookies and server logs (Usage Data).
• **From Third Parties:** While we primarily collect data directly, third-party services embedded in our site (like Facebook Comments) may also collect data directly from your browser (see Section 7).

3. Use of Data

Dart.Events uses the collected data for various purposes:

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To notify you about changes to our Service
• To allow you to participate in interactive features of our Service when you choose to do so
• To provide customer care and support
• To provide analysis or valuable information so that we can improve the Service
• To monitor the usage of the Service
• To detect, prevent and address technical issues
• To display event information you submit publicly on the website.
• To cross-post event information (including images) to linked social media accounts if you are an authorized admin and choose to do so (see Section 4).

4. Transfer and Sharing of Data

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to United States and process it there.

Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

We may share your information in the following situations:

• **With Service Providers:** We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
• **With Other Users:** Information included in public event listings (title, date, time, location, description, images) is shared publicly on the website.
• **For Social Media Posting:** If you are an administrator and choose to share an event, the event's details (including title, date, location, description, and the associated flyer images) will be sent to the respective social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X) via their APIs for posting. This information will then be subject to the privacy policies of those platforms.
• **For Legal Requirements:** We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of Dart.Events
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service
  • Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public
  • Protect against legal liability
• **Business Transaction:** If Dart.Events is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

5. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your Data Protection Rights (Within the U.S.A.)

While comprehensive data protection laws vary by state and country, we generally aim to provide users with the following rights regarding their personal data:

• **The right to access** - You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• **The right to rectification** - You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
• **The right to erasure** - You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided in Section 10. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

7. Links to Other Sites and Third-Party Services

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
