This Privacy Policy explains how WightExplorer ("we", "us") collects, uses and protects your information when you use our app and website.
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name and email address when creating an account, as well as information collected automatically, such as device type, app usage and approximate location (where permission is granted) to show you relevant events near you.
We use your information to provide and improve the App, personalise the events and venues shown to you, send you push notifications you have opted in to, and respond to any enquiries you send us.
If you enable push notifications, we may send you updates about events, venues and offers on the Isle of Wight. You can turn these off at any time in your device settings.
Our website uses essential cookies to keep it secure and functioning correctly. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising.
We use trusted third-party providers to host our data and store images, such as our database and file storage providers. These providers only process data on our behalf and under our instructions.
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
The App is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
