GabberAgenda.com respects the privacy of its visitors and handles personal data with care. In this privacy statement, we explain what data we may process, why we do so, how long we retain data and what rights you have.

1. Who are we?

GabberAgenda.com is an independent online platform for discovering hardcore, gabber and related events.

GabberAgenda.com is developed and managed by Milcraft.

Website: https://www.gabberagenda.com/

If you have any questions about privacy or the processing of personal data, please contact Milcraft.

2. What personal data do we process?

The data we process depends on how you use GabberAgenda.com.

During a normal visit to the website

Our web server and security systems may automatically process technical data, such as:

• IP address;

• date and time of the visit;

• pages viewed;

• browser and device type;

• operating system;

• referring page;

• technical fault and security information.

This data is used, amongst other things, to ensure the website functions properly, to resolve technical issues, to prevent misuse and to safeguard the website’s security.

When you contact us

When you contact us by email, via the contact form or in any other way, we may process data such as:

• your name;

• your email address;

• any company or organisation name;

• the content of your message;

• any other information that you provide yourself.

We use this information solely to deal with your enquiry or request and, where necessary, to contact you further.

When you submit an event or a change

Where GabberAgenda offers the option to submit an event, organiser, venue or correction, we may process the information you provide.

These may include, amongst other things:

• name;

• email address;

• organisation;

• contact details;

• information about an event;

• links to websites and ticket pages.

Information that forms part of public event details may be published on GabberAgenda.com.

3. Event details and public sources

GabberAgenda collects and processes information about events, artists, venues, cities and organisers.

This information may come from:

• organisers;

• artists;

• locations;

• official event websites;

• ticket providers;

• public data sources;

• integrated data sources and APIs;

• information provided by visitors.

The primary focus here is on information about events and organisations, rather than on collecting personal profiles of visitors.

Where public event information contains personal data, we process it only to the extent that is necessary and appropriate for the purpose of GabberAgenda as an events calendar and information platform.

4. What do we use personal data for?

We may process personal data for the following purposes:

• making GabberAgenda.com available and ensuring its technical operation;

• securing the website;

• the prevention and investigation of spam, fraud and abuse;

• responding to enquiries and requests;

• processing submitted events or corrections;

• managing and improving the website;

• storing preferences, such as language settings;

• compliance with legal obligations.

We do not use personal data for purposes that are incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected.

5. On what legal basis do we process data?

Depending on the situation, we process personal data on the basis of one or more of the following grounds:

• consent, where you have given your explicit consent;

• performance of a contract or request, where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested;

• legitimate interest, for example, for security, technical management, fraud prevention and the smooth running of GabberAgenda;

• legal obligation, when we are required by law to process or retain data.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

6. Cookies

GabberAgenda.com may use cookies and similar technologies.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are necessary for the website to work properly or to remember your chosen settings.

This may include, for example, cookies for:

• technical website functionality;

• security;

• sessions;

• language and display preferences.

In principle, no prior consent is required for strictly necessary functional cookies.

Analytical cookies

GabberAgenda may use analytical techniques to gain insights into how the website is used and to improve it.

Where such techniques have little or no impact on privacy, consent may not be required under the applicable rules.

Tracking and marketing cookies

Where GabberAgenda uses cookies or similar technologies for tracking, marketing or advertising purposes, these will only be placed once consent has been given, insofar as required by law.

You can change or withdraw your consent at a later date via the available cookie settings.

7. Language settings

GabberAgenda.com is available in several languages.

Technical data or cookies may be used to remember your language preference so that the site can display the selected language.

To this end, the website uses, amongst other things, the translation features of WordPress and TranslatePress.

8. External websites and ticket providers

GabberAgenda contains links to external websites, including websites operated by:

• organisers;

• artists;

• events;

• locations;

• ticket providers;

• other relevant platforms.

When you click on such an external link, you will leave GabberAgenda.com. From that point onwards, the privacy policy of the relevant external party will apply.

GabberAgenda is not responsible for the way in which external websites process personal data.

9. Affiliate and partner links

Some external links on GabberAgenda may be affiliate or partner links in future.

If you click on such a link to visit an external ticket provider or other partner and, for example, buy a ticket there, GabberAgenda may receive a commission for this.

Such a partnership does not affect the price you pay, unless expressly stated otherwise.

When following such a link, the external party may process data itself in order to attribute a referral or purchase to GabberAgenda. That processing is subject to the privacy policy of the party in question.

10. Embedded content from other websites

Pages on GabberAgenda may contain embedded content from other websites, such as videos, maps, images or other external content.

Embedded content may behave as if you were visiting the external provider’s website directly.

Among other things, this external party can:

• collect technical data;

• use cookies;

• record your interaction with the embedded content;

• use other tracking techniques.

Where consent is required for such processing, this content must, where necessary, only be activated once consent has been given.

11. Who do we share personal data with?

We do not sell personal data.

Data may, however, be processed or shared with parties that are necessary for the provision and management of GabberAgenda, for example:

• hosting and server providers;

• technical service providers;

• security and spam detection services;

• parties that provide website functionality on our behalf;

• government bodies where we are legally obliged to provide data.

Where a third party processes personal data solely on our behalf, we make appropriate arrangements, where necessary, to ensure the protection of that data.

12. Transfer outside the European Economic Area

Some technical service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

When this happens, we will put in place appropriate safeguards under the GDPR where necessary, for example by making use of an adequacy decision or approved standard contractual clauses.

13. How long do we keep data?

We do not retain personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose of the processing.

In doing so, we adhere to the following principles, amongst others:

• Technical and security data are retained for as long as is reasonably necessary for technical management, security and the investigation of misuse;

• We retain correspondence for as long as is necessary to deal with an enquiry, collaboration or dispute;

• We retain data that must be retained due to a legal obligation for the duration of the statutory retention period;

• Data associated with an account is deleted when the account is deleted, unless certain data must be retained for longer for legal or security reasons;

• Public event information may remain part of the historical GabberAgenda archive.

14. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against, amongst other things:

• loss;

• unauthorised access;

• unauthorised disclosure;

• unauthorised alteration;

• abuse.

However, no website or internet connection can guarantee absolute security.

15. Your privacy rights

Under the GDPR, depending on the situation, you may, amongst other things, have the right to:

• to access your personal data;

• to have incorrect details corrected;

• to have personal data deleted;

• to have the processing restricted;

• to object to the processing;

• to transfer data to yourself or another organisation;

• to withdraw consent previously given.

Please feel free to contact us about this.

We may ask you for further information to verify your identity before we process a request.

16. Making a complaint

Do you have a complaint about the way we handle personal data? If so, please contact us first, so that we can try to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Authority, the Dutch data protection authority.

17. Minors

GabberAgenda is not intended to collect children’s personal data without good reason.

If you believe that we have received personal data relating to a minor without the appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can investigate the matter.

18. Changes to this privacy statement

GabberAgenda may amend this privacy policy if the website, our services or the applicable legislation changes.

The most recent version is always published on GabberAgenda.com. The date at the top of this statement indicates when the text was last updated.
