Privacy & cookie policy

Evntora is a hyper-local event directory for Cornwall (Truro, Falmouth, Newquay, St Ives, Penzance and more). We are run by a sole trader and act as the data controller for personal data processed through this website. We are an events aggregator: we publish listings submitted by organisers rather than creating, hosting or selling tickets for events ourselves. You can contact us about privacy at info@evntora.co.uk.

• Event submissions: the details you enter in the submission form, event name, date, town, venue, description, images and your external booking link. We act as an aggregator of these user-submitted listings rather than creating the events ourselves. Do not include personal data you do not want published.
• Account data: if you sign in as an organiser or administrator, your email address and authentication identifiers.
• Technical data: device and browser type and pages visited, collected in server logs and, in aggregate and anonymous form, via Google Analytics 4 (see below). We do not store personal IP addresses or build individual profiles for UK visitors.
• Payment data: when you sponsor an event or buy a sponsored slot, your payment is processed securely by Stripe. We receive a confirmation and your billing details, but we never see or store your full card number.

• To publish approved event listings, legitimate interests (running the directory).
• To moderate submissions and prevent spam or abuse, legitimate interests.
• To operate accounts and keep the site secure, contract and legal obligation.
• To measure how the site is used: analytics cookies used only for statistics, as allowed under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, with a simple way to opt out.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not sell tickets. Booking links take you to the organiser's own website, which has its own privacy policy.

A cookie is a small file stored on your device. We set strictly necessary cookies, plus analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. You can turn analytics cookies off at any time with Reject optional on the cookie banner, or the Cookie settings link at the foot of every page. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be turned off.

• Strictly necessary: session and security cookies that keep the site working.
• Authentication: set only when you sign in, to keep you signed in.
• Analytics: Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga) containing a random ID. This lets us see visits, returning visitors and popular listings as totals. We do not use it for advertising and we do not link it to your name or email. If you reject analytics, no analytics cookies are set, any already set are removed, and only anonymous page counts with no cookie or ID are sent. Evntora also keeps its own simple daily page count, which uses no cookies or identifiers.
• Saved event drafts: if you start adding an event, what you have typed is kept on your own device so you do not lose it. It is not a cookie, it is never sent to us or anyone else, it is not used for tracking or advertising, and it is cleared when you submit. You can remove it at any time with the Clear this draft link on the form, or by clearing your browser data.

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the foot of every page, or clear Evntora's cookies in your browser settings. Blocking all cookies in your browser may stop parts of the site working.

Google Analytics 4: measures visits, returning visitors, page views and general engagement so we can improve Evntora. Google processes this data on our behalf as a service provider and may transfer it outside the UK under standard safeguards. Advertising features are switched off. You can opt out at any time using Cookie settings at the foot of every page. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com for details.

Stripe: we use Stripe for secure payment processing when you sponsor an event or buy a sponsored slot. Stripe handles your card payment directly; we receive a transaction confirmation and billing details but not your full card number. See stripe.com for Stripe's privacy policy.

Your place: if you type a town, village or postcode to find events near you, it is remembered on your own device only so you do not have to type it again. It is never sent to us for storage, and you can change or clear it any time with Change or Reset.

Personal data is stored on our hosting and database providers, who act as processors under written terms. Data is held in the UK or the EEA where possible; where a provider transfers data outside the UK, appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum apply. We keep event submissions for as long as the listing is relevant, and account data until the account is deleted.

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability. Email us to exercise any of these rights; we respond within one month.

You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), ico.org.uk, or by calling 0303 123 1113.

Evntora is not aimed at children. Family events are listed for the adults who organise and attend them, and we do not knowingly collect data from under-13s.

We may update this policy; the date at the top shows the latest version. Questions? Read more about Evntora or email us.
