Gold Country Events is a community event discovery website focused on California’s Gold Country. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when information may be shared with service providers, and the choices users have regarding their information.
When someone submits, claims, edits, or manages an event, we may collect:
Event information intended for publication may appear publicly on Gold Country Events. Organizer email addresses and phone numbers are kept private unless the organizer or submitter specifically requests or authorizes that information to appear publicly.
Gold Country Events may allow organizers, businesses, venues, or other users to create accounts. If accounts are offered, we may collect:
Passwords, if used, should be stored securely using industry-standard authentication practices. Gold Country Events does not intend to have access to users’ plain-text passwords. Account information may be used to authenticate users, manage event listings, provide account features, communicate about account activity, and protect the website from unauthorized access.
If someone subscribes to the Gold Country Events newsletter, we may collect:
This information is used to provide requested communications and, where appropriate, personalize those communications. Users may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
Gold Country Events may offer paid services such as promoted listings, featured events, advertising, sponsorships, subscriptions, premium organizer tools, or other upgrades. Payments may be processed through third-party payment processors. When someone makes a purchase, we may collect or receive:
Gold Country Events does not intend to directly store complete credit or debit card numbers. Payment information may be collected and processed directly by a payment provider according to that provider’s privacy and security policies. Transaction records may be retained as reasonably necessary for accounting, taxes, fraud prevention, customer support, dispute resolution, and legal requirements.
If someone reports an event, requests a correction, claims a listing, requests an upgrade, contacts Gold Country Events, or submits another request, we may collect the information provided in order to process and respond to that request.
Gold Country Events exists to make events throughout California’s Gold Country easier to discover. Event information displayed on the website may come from:
Public event information may include event names, descriptions, dates, times, venues, locations, admission or ticket information, organizer information intended for public use, promotional images, and links to original sources. Gold Country Events may organize, summarize, categorize, format, supplement, or otherwise present publicly available event information to make events easier to discover. Some event information may be collected, processed, categorized, summarized, or updated using automated systems. Whenever practical, listings collected from public sources should include attribution or a link to the original source.
Gold Country Events is an event discovery and information service. Unless expressly stated otherwise, Gold Country Events does not organize, operate, control, supervise, produce, or manage events listed on the website. Event information may be submitted by organizers, businesses, venues, community members, or other third parties, or collected from publicly available sources. Some information may also be collected, processed, categorized, summarized, or updated using automated systems.
Gold Country Events makes reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate event information, but does not guarantee that every listing is complete, current, accurate, or error-free. Event details may change after a listing is submitted, published, collected, or last reviewed. Changes may include, but are not limited to: dates, times, locations, admission prices, fees, ticket availability, performers, vendors, schedules, age restrictions, accessibility, parking, weather-related changes, postponements, cancellation status, and other event details.
Visitors should confirm important information directly with the event organizer, venue, ticketing provider, or official event website before traveling to an event, purchasing tickets, making reservations, or otherwise relying on an event listing. The appearance of an event, venue, organization, business, advertiser, sponsor, or external link on Gold Country Events does not by itself constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, affiliation, recommendation, or guarantee by Gold Country Events.
Gold Country Events may correct, update, annotate, consolidate, reject, suspend, or remove event listings when appropriate. If an organizer or other person believes a listing contains incorrect, outdated, misleading, duplicated, unauthorized, or incomplete information, they may contact hello@goldcountryevents.com.
Gold Country Events may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its functionality. Information processed may include: pages viewed, events viewed, searches performed, filters and categories selected, town or location pages visited, links clicked, referring pages or websites, approximate device and browser information, general geographic information such as city or region, session activity, date and time of visits, and general interaction with website features.
Depending on the analytics and infrastructure services used, certain technical information, including an IP address, may be temporarily processed by service providers for security, analytics, fraud prevention, website operation, or approximate geographic measurement. Where practical, Gold Country Events aims to minimize the amount of personally identifiable information used for analytics. Analytics information may also be aggregated or de-identified.
Gold Country Events may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, session identifiers, or similar technologies. These may be used to operate the website, remember preferences, maintain login sessions, prevent fraud or abuse, improve security, measure website traffic, understand how visitors interact with events and features, measure promotions or advertising, and improve website performance and user experience. Some technologies may be provided by third-party services. Where required by applicable law, Gold Country Events will provide appropriate notice or choices concerning non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.
Gold Country Events may display paid advertisements, sponsored content, featured events, promoted listings, business sponsorships, affiliate links, or other commercial placements. Sponsored or promoted content may be identified as such where appropriate. Payment for advertising, sponsorship, promotion, or enhanced visibility does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee by Gold Country Events. Gold Country Events does not guarantee attendance, ticket sales, impressions, clicks, conversions, revenue, or any other result from paid promotion unless expressly agreed to in writing.
We may collect information about interactions with advertisements or promoted listings, such as impressions and clicks. Third-party advertising or measurement providers may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to measure advertising performance or, where permitted, provide relevant advertising. Gold Country Events does not sell personal information in exchange for money. Certain privacy laws may define some forms of targeted advertising or data sharing more broadly than an ordinary sale. If Gold Country Events introduces practices that qualify as “selling,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will provide disclosures and opt-out mechanisms as required.
Some links on Gold Country Events may be affiliate links. If a visitor clicks an affiliate link and makes a purchase or completes another qualifying action, Gold Country Events may receive a commission or referral fee. Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to attribute purchases or other activity to Gold Country Events.
Gold Country Events may use third-party services for website hosting, databases, analytics, email delivery, maps, embedded content, authentication, security, advertising, payment processing, ticketing integrations, social media integrations, website performance, and other website functionality. These services may collect or process certain technical or personal information when visitors interact with their features. Embedded maps, videos, social media content, ticketing tools, or other third-party features may communicate directly with their providers when loaded or used. Third parties process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Gold Country Events aims to select and configure services in ways that limit unnecessary collection of personal information where reasonably practical.
Information may be used to:
Gold Country Events may share information with service providers that help operate the website, including providers for website hosting and infrastructure, databases, authentication, email delivery, analytics, maps and location services, payment processing, advertising and sponsorship measurement, customer support, spam prevention, security and fraud detection, and website performance monitoring. These providers may process information as reasonably necessary to provide their services.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful requests, enforce website policies, investigate fraud or abuse, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Gold Country Events, its users, or others. If Gold Country Events or substantially all of its assets are acquired, transferred, merged, sold, or reorganized, information associated with the service may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
Gold Country Events does not currently sell personal information for money. If our practices change in a way that constitutes a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under applicable privacy law, this Privacy Policy will be updated and required privacy choices will be provided.
Depending on how someone interacts with Gold Country Events, they may be able to unsubscribe from marketing emails; update account information; change communication preferences; request corrections to event information; request deletion of an account; request access to certain personal information; request correction or deletion of personal information they submitted; and exercise applicable rights concerning advertising or data sharing. Identity verification may be required before certain privacy requests are processed. Some information may need to be retained for legitimate business, accounting, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or legal purposes.
Gold Country Events is based in California. California residents may have rights concerning their personal information under applicable California privacy laws. Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, these may include rights to:
Gold Country Events does not currently sell personal information for money. Privacy requests may be submitted to hello@goldcountryevents.com.
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy preference signals. Because there is not a single universally adopted standard for all Do Not Track signals, website responses may vary depending on the technologies and service providers being used. Where required by applicable law, Gold Country Events will endeavor to recognize legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for applicable data practices.
Gold Country Events retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Retention periods may depend on the nature of the information, whether an account remains active, whether an event listing remains relevant, transaction and accounting requirements, legal obligations, fraud prevention and security needs, and resolving disputes or support requests. Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated.
Gold Country Events uses reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect information handled through the website. These measures may include secure hosting, encrypted connections, authentication protections, access controls, and appropriate restrictions on access to personal information. However, no internet transmission, website, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Gold Country Events is a general-audience event discovery website and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Gold Country Events may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties, including event organizers, venues, ticketing providers, tourism organizations, restaurants and businesses, social media platforms, sponsors, and advertisers. Gold Country Events does not control those websites, services, businesses, events, transactions, or privacy practices. When someone leaves Gold Country Events or interacts directly with a third-party service, information provided to that third party is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy policies. Visitors should independently verify event information and evaluate third-party websites before purchasing tickets, making payments, providing personal information, traveling, or making other decisions based on an event listing.
Where technically practical, event listings sourced from third parties should display the original event source or organizer, a link to the official or original event page, and a “Last checked” or “Last verified” date. Individual event pages should also include a short visitor-facing notice such as: Event details may change. Please verify dates, times, pricing, availability, and other important information directly with the organizer before attending. This information should be visually readable without overwhelming the primary event content.
If an event organizer, venue, business, rights holder, or other appropriate party believes information displayed on Gold Country Events is incorrect, outdated, duplicated, misleading, unauthorized, or should otherwise be reviewed, they may contact hello@goldcountryevents.com. Gold Country Events may investigate and, where appropriate, correct, update, attribute, consolidate, annotate, temporarily hide, or remove the information.
Gold Country Events will continue to evolve, and the technologies and services used by the website may change. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new features, service providers, business practices, or legal requirements. When changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be updated. If changes materially affect how personal information is handled, additional notice may be provided where appropriate.
