We collect as little as we can.
Lancaster Live Music is a small, hand-curated bulletin. We don't run ad networks, we don't sell your data, and we keep what we collect to the minimum needed to send a weekly email and keep the site working.
This is a plain-language template for a soft launch. Have it reviewed by a professional before relying on it for anything legal.
What we collect
Your email address — only if you choose to subscribe to the Friday newsletter. We use it to send you the weekly rundown and nothing else.
Privacy-light analytics — basic, aggregate measurements of how the site is used (for example, which pages get visited and roughly how many people stop by). These are kept lightweight and are not used to build advertising profiles or track you across other sites.
Why we collect it
The email address lets us deliver the newsletter you asked for. The analytics help us understand whether the bulletin is useful and where it can be improved. That's the whole list.
We do not sell your data
We never sell, rent, or trade your email address or any other personal information. We don't share it with advertisers. The only parties who ever touch it are the service providers listed below, and only so they can do the job we hired them for.
Unsubscribing & deletion
Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link. You can also email hello@lanclive.com at any time to unsubscribe or to ask us to delete your information entirely. We'll honor deletion requests promptly.
Third-party processors
To run a small site we rely on a few outside services. Each has its own privacy practices:
- Supabase. Our database provider (hosted in the United States). It stores newsletter subscriptions and our own first-party, cookieless usage events (see above). No third party sells or rents your data.
- Plausible Analytics. A privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service that provides the aggregate usage measurements described above.
- Advertising measurement (only if enabled). If we run ads, we may load a Meta or Google conversion tag so we can measure whether an ad led to a newsletter signup. These load only when configured, and only relevant ad-campaign parameters from your visit are recorded.
- OpenStreetMap & CARTO. Serve the map tiles used in the interactive map. When the map loads, your browser requests tiles from these services, which may receive your IP address as part of that normal request.
Cookies & analytics note
We keep cookies to a minimum. We don't use third-party advertising cookies. Any cookies or local storage we set exist to remember basic preferences or to support the lightweight analytics described above. You can clear them in your browser at any time without breaking the site.
Children
The bulletin is a general-audience listing of public events and is not directed at children. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Changes & contact
If this policy changes, we'll update the effective date below. Questions about privacy can go to hello@lanclive.com.
