Privacypolicy.

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Belledene Events, Inc. ("Belledene," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit belledene.com (the "Site"), purchase tickets, apply as a vendor or sponsor, join our mailing list, or otherwise interact with us. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information You Provide

We collect information you give us directly, including:

• Contact details such as your name, email address, and phone number.
• Business and application details when you apply as a vendor or sponsor, including your business name, the items or services you sell, mailing and billing addresses, answers to application questions, and any documents you upload.
• Order and ticket information when you buy or reserve tickets.
• The content of messages you send us through our contact form or by email.
• The email address you submit when you join our mailing list.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our analytics providers automatically collect certain technical information — such as your device and browser type, IP address, the pages you view, the links that referred you, and general usage patterns — through cookies and similar technologies.

Payments

Payments are processed by our third-party payment and ticketing providers, Stripe and Eventbrite. We do not collect or store full payment-card numbers on our own systems; that information is handled directly by those providers under their own security standards and privacy policies.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser opt-out add-on. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies that make the Site function.
• Analytics, through Google Analytics 4, to understand how the Site is used and to improve it.
• Measurement and advertising, through the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, to measure and inform our marketing.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process and respond to applications, orders, and inquiries.
• Deliver tickets, confirmations, and event information.
• Send administrative messages and, where you have opted in, news and promotional updates.
• Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site and our events.
• Measure the performance of our marketing and our website.
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
• Comply with our legal obligations and enforce our terms.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

• With service providers that act on our behalf — including payment and ticketing (Stripe, Eventbrite), email delivery (SendGrid), website hosting (Vercel), and analytics (Google, Meta) — who may process it only to provide their services to us.
• With event partners, sponsors, or venues where necessary to operate a specific event.
• With authorities or other parties when required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Belledene, our users, or the public.
• With a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.

Email & Marketing Communications

If you join our mailing list, we will send you news and updates. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We may still send you transactional messages — such as receipts or application-status updates — that are necessary to the services you have requested.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required to meet legal, tax, or accounting obligations, after which we delete or de-identify it.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights & Choices

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond consistent with applicable law.

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:

• Request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you.
• Opt out of marketing communications at any time.
• Control cookies and tracking through your browser and the tools noted above.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links & Services

The Site may link to or embed third-party services — for example, Eventbrite ticketing or our social-media pages. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.

Visual Materials

Select imagery presented throughout this website is representational rather than documentary in nature. Such visuals may comprise conceptual renderings, artificially generated compositions, and/or licensed stock photography, and are furnished solely for illustrative and atmospheric purposes. They are not to be construed as a literal record, photographic proof, or warranty of the actual appearance, attendance, programming, or conditions of any particular event; most notably inaugural or newly announced events for which no antecedent visual archive yet exists. Where prior historical documentation is unavailable, interpretive imagery is employed to convey the intended spirit and character of the experience.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date shown above and post the updated policy on this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
