Privacy Policy

Last updated · 12 January 2024

This site is a static publication. It has no accounts, no comment forms, no tracking pixels and no advertising networks. The amount of personal data involved in reading it is close to zero — this page explains the small remainder.

Server logs

Like every website, ours sits on a server that keeps standard technical logs: the pages requested, the time of the request, an IP address and a browser identifier. These logs exist for security and troubleshooting, are never combined with other data sources, and are rotated automatically.

Email correspondence

If you write to [email protected], we store your message and our reply so the conversation makes sense. We use your address only to answer you. We do not add correspondents to mailing lists, and we do not share messages with third parties unless you explicitly ask us to.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own and embeds no third-party services that would set any. There is nothing to accept, refuse or configure — the site works identically either way.

Analytics

We do not run behavioural analytics. Our sense of what readers value comes from the emails they send us, not from dashboards. If that ever changes, this page will be updated before anything is switched on.

External references

Our articles mention festivals and institutions for editorial purposes, but we deliberately avoid embedding third-party content. Following your own path to a festival's official website is a matter between you and them — their policies apply there.

Your rights

You may ask us at any time what correspondence of yours we hold, request a copy of it, or ask us to delete it. Write to [email protected] and we will respond promptly.

Changes to this policy

If the way this site handles data changes, we will revise this page and update the date above. The current version always applies.
