Privacy policy

Last updated November 11, 2026

Draft: company details are still to be added, and this policy should be reviewed by a lawyer before launch.

[Company name to be added] (“we”) runs Our Local Scene, a website and app for finding events in North Carolina. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Your email address when you sign in, join the Weekend Radar email, join the app waitlist or send us an enquiry.
• What you do with your account: events you save, venues and teams you follow, events you say you're going to, and your email-alert setting.
• Your area: the town or approximate location you choose, stored in a cookie on your device so we can show nearby events. If you use “Use my location”, your browser shares it with us only to set that area; we don't keep a history of where you are.
• Things you submit: events, business and band listings, deals and enquiries, including any contact details you add to them.
• Payments for paid listings are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details; we keep a record of your subscription (status and renewal date).
• Usage and errors: privacy-friendly, cookie-free visit statistics (pages viewed, rough country and device type) and technical error reports so we can fix problems.

How we use it

• To show events near you and remember your saves, follows and settings.
• To email you when an event you saved is cancelled, postponed or changes time (you can switch this off on your Saved page), and to send the Weekend Radar if you asked for it.
• To check and publish listings, run paid listings and adverts, and answer your messages.
• To keep the service secure, stop spam and fix bugs.

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it with advertisers. Adverts on the site are shown to everyone in a place, not targeted at you personally.

Cookies

We use a sign-in cookie (to keep you signed in) and an area cookie (to remember your town and distance). Our visit statistics don't use cookies. Ticket sellers and other sites we link to have their own cookies and policies.

Services we use

Our database and sign-in run on Supabase; payments on Stripe; maps use OpenStreetMap; forecasts come from the US National Weather Service; spam checks use Cloudflare Turnstile; visit statistics use Plausible Analytics; error reports use Sentry; email is sent through our email provider. Ticket links go to the seller (for example Ticketmaster), and we may earn a commission when you buy.

How long we keep it

We keep your account data while you have an account. Email-list sign-ups are kept until you unsubscribe. Records we must keep for tax or legal reasons (such as payment records) are kept as long as the law requires.

Your choices

• Switch change alerts off on your Saved page, and unsubscribe from any email with one click.
• Delete your account at any time from your Account page or in the app. This removes your saves, follows and settings and cancels any paid listing.
• Ask us for a copy of your data or to correct it by emailing [contact email to be added].

Children

Our Local Scene isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
