Privacy policy

Last updated:

We keep this short and plain. Violet Glitch collects as little personal data as possible: an email address if you join the invitation list, and whatever you choose to write if you email us. We don't use cookies, analytics or ad trackers, and we never sell your data.

1. Who is responsible for your data

The data controller is Violet Glitch, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Contact: info@violetglitch.com. Write to us about anything in this policy, including using your rights.

This policy covers violetglitch.com and the Violet Glitch invitation list. HUSH CPH and Whimsigoth Crafts have their own privacy policies on their websites.

2. What we collect and why

The invitation list (newsletter)

What
Your email address, the date and time you signed up and confirmed, and the wording you agreed to.
Why
To email you about Violet Glitch events: dates, venue news and small offline experiments. The dates and wording are kept as proof that you asked to hear from us.
Legal basis
Your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) and, for marketing emails, section 10 of the Danish Marketing Practices Act (markedsføringsloven).
How consent works
After you sign up, we email you a confirmation link. Nothing else is sent until you click it. Every email we send includes a link to unsubscribe, which deletes your address straight away. You can also withdraw consent by emailing us. Withdrawing doesn't affect anything we did before.

When you email us

What
Your email address, name if you include it, and the content of your message.
Why
To answer you, for example about events, venue partnerships or collaborations.
Legal basis
Our legitimate interest in replying to messages people send us (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)), or taking steps you ask for before an agreement, such as a venue partnership (Article 6(1)(b)).

Visiting the website

We don't collect anything when you simply browse. Like every website host, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We don't use this data to identify you.

We never sell personal data, use it for profiling or automated decisions, or share it with advertisers.

3. Cookies and tracking

This website doesn't set cookies and doesn't use analytics, advertising pixels or social media trackers. Fonts and images load from our own website, not from third parties. That's why there's no cookie banner.

If this ever changes, we'll update this policy and ask for your consent before setting any cookie that isn't strictly necessary, as required by the Danish cookie rules (cookiebekendtgørelsen).

4. Who processes your data

We use a small number of service providers (data processors). They may only handle your data on our instructions and under a data processing agreement:

  • Google (Google Workspace). Our email, and the private spreadsheet where the invitation list is stored.
  • Cloudflare (Cloudflare Pages). Hosts and delivers the website's pages.

We only share personal data with others if the law requires it, for example with public authorities.

5. Transfers outside the EU

Google and Cloudflare may process data on servers outside the EU and EEA, including in the United States. These transfers are protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which both companies are certified under, and by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (GDPR Articles 45 and 46).

6. How long we keep it

  • Unconfirmed signups: deleted automatically after 7 days.
  • Invitation list: until you unsubscribe. Your address is then deleted immediately.
  • Emails you send us: as long as needed to answer and follow up, and normally no longer than 2 years after our last contact, unless the law requires us to keep them longer (for example bookkeeping records).

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR and the Danish Data Protection Act (databeskyttelsesloven), you have the right to:

  • Access: get a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification: have wrong data corrected.
  • Erasure: have your data deleted.
  • Restriction: ask us to limit how we use your data.
  • Data portability: receive your data in a common, machine-readable format.
  • Objection: object to processing based on our legitimate interest.
  • Withdraw consent: at any time, using the unsubscribe link or by emailing us.

To use any of these rights, email info@violetglitch.com. We'll reply within one month. It's free.

8. Complaints

If you think we've handled your data wrongly, please tell us first so we can fix it. You also have the right to complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency:

Datatilsynet
Carl Jacobsens Vej 35, 2500 Valby, Denmark
dt@datatilsynet.dk · datatilsynet.dk

9. Changes to this policy

If we change how we use personal data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your email address, we'll tell subscribers by email before it takes effect.
