  3. Manage Payments: Facilitate secure payment processing through trusted payment providers (e.g., Stripe).
  4. Marketing: Send you marketing communications and updates about our events or services, consistent with your preferences and applicable law.

Under the UK GDPR (and, where applicable, the EU GDPR), we rely on the following lawful bases:

  • Consent: Where you have given explicit consent (e.g., to receive our marketing emails).
  • Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.
  • Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under UK or EU law.
  • Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (e.g., service improvement, responding to prospective artist enquiries, or fraud prevention), provided your fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests.

Soft Opt-In and Unsubscribing
Where applicable, if you have contacted us or previously purchased goods or services from us, we may send you information about similar offerings under the “soft opt-in” rule. You can opt out of receiving these communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any marketing email or contacting us directly at music@vibevill.com.

  1. Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We do not sell or rent your personal data to any third parties. However, we may share your data in the following circumstances:

  1. Service Providers: We engage trustworthy third-party service providers (e.g., Stripe, Promotix, Mailchimp) to process personal data on our behalf for specific purposes such as payment processing, ticketing, event management, marketing automation, or hosting. These providers are contractually bound to safeguard your data and use it only as instructed.
  2. Legal or Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose your data to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes (e.g., in response to a court order), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Vibe Village, our users, or others.
  3. Business Transfers: In the event of a reorganisation, merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

 

  1. Third-Party Links

Our Site may occasionally link to websites or applications operated by third parties. These sites have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept responsibility or liability for their content or activities. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any linked sites you visit.

 

  1. International Data Transfers

We do not currently transfer personal data outside the UK/EEA. Should this change, we will update this Privacy Policy and ensure that any such transfer is subject to appropriate safeguards, as required by applicable data protection laws.

 

  1. Data Retention

We do not currently have fixed retention periods for specific categories of data. Instead, we retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any contractual, legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

Where appropriate, we may keep records relating to bookings or transactions for up to six years to comply with legal requirements and handle any contractual or financial queries. If you would like us to delete your personal data earlier, please contact us at music@vibevill.com. We will review your request and comply where possible, subject to any legal obligations requiring us to retain certain data.

 

  1. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making (including profiling) in a manner that produces legal or similarly significant effects for individuals. If our practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy accordingly.

 

  1. Your Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable data protection laws (UK GDPR or EU GDPR), you have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

  1. Right of Access: Obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and receive a copy of the data we hold.

  3. Right of Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): Request the deletion of your personal data where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it.
