Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

We are Shotgun Carousel, the underground party collective that's probably responsible for your best Saturday night and worst Sunday morning. Our website is PureSphere.site, and we're based in the United Kingdom (though our parties transcend geographical boundaries).

Contact: info@shotguncarousel.co.uk

2. What Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Give Us

When you're eager to join the carousel, you might share:

• Contact Information: Name and email (so we know who's bringing the good vibes)
• Codewords: The magical access codes you send us for tickets
• Messages: Whatever beautiful chaos you send through our contact form
• Age Verification: To make sure you're old enough to handle our level of fun

2.2 Information We Collect Automatically

Our website might notice:

• Technical Stuff: IP address, browser type, device info (we're nerds, sue us)
• Usage Data: Which pages you visit (hopefully all of them)
• Cookies: The digital kind, not the edible kind unfortunately

2.3 Information We DON'T Collect

• Your dance moves (those stay on the dance floor)
• What you said at 4 AM (we were all too busy dancing to hear)
• Your questionable fashion choices (no judgment zone, remember?)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data for good, not evil:

• Event Access: To get you into our parties (the main goal)
• Communication: To tell you about upcoming chaos opportunities
• Safety: To keep our events secure and amazing
• Improvements: To make our parties even more legendary
• Legal Compliance: Because we're rebels with a cause, but still follow the law

4. Who We Share Information With

4.1 We Share With:

• Our Team: The magical beings who make Shotgun Carousel happen
• Venue Security: Just your name for the guest list (they don't need your life story)
• Legal Authorities: Only if absolutely required by law (we're not snitches)

4.2 We DON'T Share With:

• Your ex (unless they're also on the guest list, awkward)
• Marketing companies (we hate spam as much as you do)
• Random third parties (your data isn't for sale)
• Your parents (what happens at Shotgun Carousel...)

5. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies like a normal website, not like a surveillance state:

• Essential Cookies: To make the website work (kind of important)
• Analytics Cookies: To see if people actually read this privacy policy (hi!)
• Preference Cookies: To remember your theme choice (circus mode forever)

You can disable cookies, but the website might act weird, kind of like us at 6 AM.

6. Data Security

We protect your data like we protect our secret venue locations:

• Secure connections (HTTPS, because we're fancy)
• Limited access (only trusted carousel operators)
• Regular security reviews (paranoia keeps data safe)
• No writing passwords on sticky notes (we're professionals)

However, no system is 100% secure, just like no party is 100% predictable. We do our best, but the internet is a wild place.

7. Your Rights

Under GDPR (yes, we know about it), you have rights:

• Access: See what data we have about you (spoiler: not much)
• Correction: Fix any mistakes (except your dance moves, those are on you)
• Deletion: Ask us to forget you exist (we'll be sad, but we'll do it)
• Portability: Take your data and run (but why would you?)
• Object: Tell us to stop processing your data
• Restrict: Limit how we use your information

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@shotguncarousel.co.uk with subject line "GDPR Request" (or "Privacy Stuff" works too).

8. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as necessary:

• Active Attendees: As long as you keep partying with us
• Inactive Accounts: 2 years of silence, then we assume you've found a boring life
• Legal Requirements: Whatever the law says (usually 6-7 years for financial stuff)
• Memories: Forever (but those aren't data, they're magic)

9. International Transfers

We're UK-based, and your data stays here mostly. If it travels, we make sure it's protected better than a DJ's record collection. We only use services that provide adequate protection under GDPR standards.

10. Children's Privacy

Our events are 18+ only. If you're under 18, come back when you're older. We'll still be here, probably still playing the same bangers. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, because they shouldn't be on our website dreaming about parties they can't attend yet.

11. Third-Party Links

Our site might link to other places (like our Instagram where the real magic happens). We're not responsible for their privacy practices. Click at your own risk, adventure seeker!

12. Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy occasionally, usually when:

• Laws change (they do that sometimes)
• We add new features (always innovating)
• Someone points out we forgot something (happens to the best of us)

We'll let you know about significant changes via email or a giant banner on our website that's impossible to miss.

13. How to Contact Us

Questions? Concerns? Just want to chat about privacy?

14. Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we handle your data (impossible, but let's pretend), you can:

1. Contact us first - we're reasonable people who throw unreasonable parties
2. If still unhappy, contact the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk
3. But seriously, let's work it out - we're all friends here
