Privacy Policy

The website www.tradfest.com is owned and operated by Traders in The Area Supporting the Cultural Quarter (“us”, “our” and “we”). This Privacy Policy governs the way we collect, use, maintain and disclose information collected from users of www.tradfest.com.

We will be happy to answer any enquiries from you regarding this Privacy Statement, the Personal Data we hold about you, or the use we make of it. If you have any queries or comments, please contact us at tickets@tradfest.com. 

 

What Data Do We Collect?

If users are merely visiting our public areas of the website, we do not collect any personal data about them. However, we may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal information includes browsing patterns, the IP address, date and time they access the website, operating system, and the pages they access when visiting our website.

However, if they choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect their name, last name, and email address. We only collect this information if a user voluntarily submits such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personal identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain site related activities.

If users choose to take part in our attendee survey, we collect the information described in the “Survey Data” section below.

 

TradFest Newsletter

Users can opt out of receiving our regular email newsletter or change their preferences at any time. Users can do so by opening the latest email newsletter and clicking the link ‘Want to change how you receive these emails? You can update your preferences or unsubscribe from this list’ at the bottom of all newsletters.

 

Survey Data

We may invite ticket purchasers and event attendees to take part in an optional survey to help us understand our audience, plan future events, and report to our sponsors.

This survey may ask for standard personal data such as employment status and household income bracket, which is entirely optional.

It may also ask about ethnicity, sexual orientation, and disability or accessibility needs. This is special category data under data protection law, and we only collect it with your explicit, separate consent. You will be asked to actively agree before answering these specific questions, and you are always free to decline, select “Prefer not to say,” or skip them entirely. Declining will never affect your ticket, price, or access to any TradFest event.

Survey responses are collected anonymously and are not linked to your name, email, or payment details. Because this data is anonymous, we may retain it indefinitely for the purpose of understanding our audience over time. We take steps to avoid combining this data with any other information in a way that could identify you, and where a response category is very small, we report it only as part of a broader group rather than on its own.

You can choose not to answer any question, or close the survey at any point before submitting, without giving a reason. Because responses are collected anonymously and cannot be linked back to any individual, we are unable to locate or delete a specific person’s answers once the survey has been submitted. If you do not want us to hold your responses, please do not submit the survey.
