ALLEYWATCH EVENTS

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how AlleyWatch handles information in connection with the Events calendar, event submissions, organizer communications, and commercial listing purchases.

1. Information we collect

When you submit or manage an event, we collect the information you provide, including your name, email address, organizer details, event descriptions, dates, venue information, registration links, images, and eligibility declarations. We also maintain verification records, listing changes, moderation history, and payment references.

Operational logs may contain IP addresses, browser information, request times, and requested page addresses. Link reporting maintains daily aggregate counts of registration, organizer, and promotional link requests. Those aggregate counters do not contain visitor identifiers or destination query strings.

2. How information is used

We use information to process and review submissions, publish and maintain listings, verify organizer access, confirm payments, send service-related messages, respond to inquiries, protect the Service, and preserve calendar and administrative records.

Event descriptions, organizer names, venues, event images, and registration links are intended for public display when a listing is published. Submitter email addresses and private verification or edit links are not included in public event responses. Transactional submission messages do not enroll you in a newsletter.

3. Service providers and external websites

Information is processed by providers supporting website hosting, email delivery, payments, and related operations as needed to provide the Service. Payments are processed by Stripe; AlleyWatch Events does not store payment-card numbers. Information may be processed in the United States and other locations used by these providers.

When you follow an event registration link or visit another website, the information you provide there is handled by that operator under its own policies. This policy does not govern an event organizer’s registration or attendee-information practices.

4. Cookies and reporting

Cookies support administrator sessions. The Events calendar also uses aggregate link reporting to understand activity on registration and promotional links. Other AlleyWatch properties and external registration, advertising, or payment websites may have separate cookie and analytics practices.

5. Retention

We retain submitted event information, organizer contact details, moderation history and payment references indefinitely for archive preservation, administration and recordkeeping. Secure links expire and can be revoked. Contact events@alleywatch.com with privacy or correction requests. We do not store card numbers; payments are processed by Stripe.

This retention policy is subject to applicable legal requirements and requests we are legally required to honor. Removing a public listing does not necessarily remove related archival, backup, payment, or administrative records.

6. Security and requests

We use access controls, encrypted connections, and other measures intended to protect information. No website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Protect private organizer links and notify us if you believe they have been disclosed without authorization.

You may contact events@alleywatch.com with questions or requests concerning your information, including a correction or removal request. We may require information to verify your identity or authority. Requests are handled subject to the rights, exceptions, and recordkeeping requirements that apply.

7. Policy updates

Changes to this policy will be posted here with an updated date. Additional notice will be provided where required by applicable law.
