The Why Events, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, is responsible for the personal data collected on this site. Here's what we take, why, and what you can ask us to do about it.
What we collect
- From Google sign-in: your name and email address. We never see your Google password.
- From your profile: username, full name, mobile number, date of birth, gender, city, Instagram handle and food preference.
- From bookings: what you bought, when, how much you paid, any code you used, and the contact detail you entered for a guest.
- At the door: the time your QR was scanned and which event it was.
Why we need it
- Date of birth and gender enforce entry rules — some events are age-restricted, some are for women only. They're locked once set so a ticket can't be moved around them.
- Your mobile number is how we reach you if an event moves or is cancelled.
- Food preference goes to the caterer as a count, not as a list of names.
- Scan records stop one QR getting several people in, and tell us who actually came.
- We use what we learn — which dates fill, which don't — to plan the next event.
Who else sees it
- Razorpay processes payments. Your card and bank details go straight to them and are never stored by us.
- Brevo sends your ticket and event emails.
- Supabase hosts the database; Vercel hosts the site.
- Booking records are copied into our own operations tools so the team can run the door and the accounts.
- Where an event runs with a partner or sponsor, we share attendance numbers — not your personal details — unless we tell you otherwise on the event page.
- We do not sell your data, and we don't pass it to anyone for their own marketing.
ID verification
- Where we introduce ID checks for age-restricted events, we store only the result — verified, date of birth, gender. We do not keep your ID number or a copy of the document.
How long we keep it
- Your profile stays until you ask us to delete it.
- Booking and payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require, even after a profile is deleted.
What you can ask for
- A copy of what we hold about you.
- A correction to anything wrong. Date of birth and gender are locked in the app — email us and we'll fix a genuine mistake.
- Deletion of your profile. Records we're required to keep for accounting stay.
- To stop receiving event emails — every one has an unsubscribe link. Emails about a ticket you've already bought still go out.
Cookies
- We set a sign-in cookie so you stay logged in. That's it — no advertising or tracking cookies on this site.
