Privacy Policy

ROCK! AWAY! Summer Fest — Last updated July 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account or use the ROCK! AWAY! Summer Fest app, we may collect:

  • Account information — your email address, display name, and any profile details you provide.
  • User-submitted content — artist profiles, venue profiles, business profiles, messages, comments, media uploads, and event submissions you voluntarily provide.
  • Usage analytics — pages visited, features used, session data, and interaction events. This information helps us understand how the app is used and improve the experience for everyone.
  • Device and technical data — browser type, operating system, and IP address, collected automatically when you access the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate and provide the app's features and functionality.
  • To personalize your experience, such as saving your favorite artists and events.
  • To send account-related communications (e.g., password resets, invite links).
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve the app.
  • To moderate user-submitted content and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Your Data Is Not Sold

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. This includes private business and sponsor contact information — it is never sold to any third party.

4. Business & Sponsor Privacy Model

We use a simplified privacy model with a strict separation between private contact information and public profile content:

🔒 Private Contact Information

Private contact details submitted for account creation, business claims, sponsorship inquiries, or business communication — such as contact email, phone number, contact person details, and other account-related or administrative contact information — are kept private and are not displayed publicly in the app. This includes account email, claim/contact email, phone number, contact person name, billing or sponsorship contact details, internal notes, claim request details, and admin-only communication notes. There are no toggles or settings that can expose this information on a public page or card.

🌐 Public Profile Information

Public business profiles in the app are limited to selected profile information such as business name, logo or images, description, website link, social media links, category, and optional location details if enabled. Public contact details such as email or phone are not displayed by default. Public contact happens via your website and social links only — buttons such as "Visit Website," "Instagram," and "Directions" are used instead of displaying raw contact details.

Location Visibility Toggle

The only public visibility toggle is "Show location publicly." When off (default), your address, neighborhood, and location details are hidden from all public pages and cards, and no directions link is shown. When on, your address and a directions link may appear on your public profile. This setting does not expose any email, phone, or contact person information.

The app does not sell private business contact information to any third party.

5. Convenience Listings

The app may also include limited convenience listings for publicly listed businesses, such as restaurants, shops, hotels, or other storefronts. Those listings may display limited public business information such as business name, website link, and optional location details, even if the business has not created an account or participated as a sponsor. Businesses may request review and removal of a convenience listing at any time by contacting us at info.maxpowerpresents@gmail.com.

6. Email Communications

  • Account & service emails — such as password resets, claim verification, and security notifications — are required and will be sent as necessary for account administration. These cannot be turned off.
  • Promotional emails — including festival news, lineup announcements, sponsor opportunities, and business updates — are optional. You may opt in or out at any time from the Account Settings page.

Your email preferences are stored on your account and can be changed at any time.

7. Data Sharing

We may share data only in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers — third-party platforms that help us operate the app (e.g., hosting, authentication, analytics), who are contractually bound to protect your data.
  • Legal requirements — when required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

8. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account at any time. You can do so from the Account Settings page, or by contacting us at the email address below. Upon deletion, your account data and linked profile associations will be removed. Note that content you have submitted (such as events or public profile information) may be retained for operational integrity.

9. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe.

10. Cookies & Local Storage

The app uses browser local storage and session storage to save preferences (such as navigation scroll position and help mode settings). No advertising cookies are used.

11. Children's Privacy

The ROCK! AWAY! Summer Fest app is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the app. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
