Privacy Policy

Social Frequency Club is run by Simone Wise, a sole trader based in Manchester, UK. I'm responsible for (the “controller” of) the personal information described here. You can contact me about anything in this policy at simone@socialfrequencyclub.com.

• Email sign-ups: your email address (& your name, if you give it) when you join the mailing list on this website.
• Event bookings: your name, email & any answers you give when you register for an evening or join an early-access list on Luma. If you buy a ticket, payment is handled by Luma & its payment provider. I never see your card details.
• Pre-event form: what you're working on, what you're navigating & who you'd love to meet, so I can introduce you to the right people on the night.
• The Taste List: your social media handle, only if you choose to opt in to being included.
• Messages: anything you send me by email or Instagram.
• Photos & video at events: evenings are sometimes photographed or filmed for this website & Social Frequency Club's social media.

• To send you news about upcoming evenings, based on your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
• To run the events you book: confirmations, venue details, introductions on the night & The Taste List. This is needed to provide what you've signed up for.
• To share photos of the evenings & reply to your messages, based on my legitimate interests in running & promoting Social Frequency Club. If you'd rather not appear in photos, just tell me on the night or email me & I'll make sure you're left out or removed.

I never sell your information. It's only shared with the services that help me run Social Frequency Club, who look after it on my behalf:

• Flodesk: sends the email newsletter & stores the mailing list.
• Luma: handles event registrations, early-access lists & ticket payments.
• Vercel: hosts this website.
• Venues, only where needed for an event (for example, a guest list for entry).

Some of these providers are based in, or store data in, the United States. Where that happens, they use safeguards approved under UK data protection law to protect it.

• Mailing list: until you unsubscribe, after which you're removed from future emails.
• Event bookings & pre-event forms: up to 2 years after the event, then deleted.
• Messages: as long as needed to deal with them.

Under UK data protection law, you can ask me to:

• show you the information I hold about you
• correct anything that's wrong
• delete your information
• stop or limit how I use it
• give you a copy to take elsewhere

You can also withdraw your consent at any time, e.g. by unsubscribing from emails. To make a request, email simone@socialfrequencyclub.com. I'll respond within one month.

If you're unhappy with how your information has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk, though I'd appreciate the chance to put it right first.

This website doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. The email sign-up form is provided by Flodesk, which may use small files needed for the form to work. Links to Instagram & Luma take you to those services, which have their own privacy policies.

If anything changes, I'll update this page & the date at the top.
