What we collect
- Aggregate analytics. Which pages get visited, from which countries and cities, on what kind of device. We look at this data as totals and trends — "1,200 visits from London last month" — never as individual browsing profiles.
- Standard server logs. Like every website, our servers record technical request logs (including IP addresses) used for security, debugging, and abuse prevention. They are not used to profile you and are never published or sold.
- Coarse location for convenience. When you first visit, we look up your IP against a local DB-IP city database (licensed CC BY 4.0) to suggest the nearest city we cover — that's why the homepage can say "Shows near you in Paris". The lookup is transient: the suggestion service returns only a city name, never your IP or exact location, and your city preference is remembered in your own browser (localStorage), not in an account profile — unless you save a home city yourself. The "Shows near me" button is separate and only uses your precise location if you explicitly tap it and approve the browser prompt.
- Account data, if you sign up. Fans: an email address (for magic-link sign-in), an optional display name, an optional home city, and your saved shows and follows. Comics and bookers: the profile details you choose to add.
What we never do
- We never publish anyone's personal contact info. Getting in touch with a comic or booker always goes through our relay — that protection is the product.
- We never sell personal data. If we ever share audience numbers with a sponsor or partner, it's aggregate only — totals per city and country — never names, emails, IPs, or individual histories.
- No ad trackers, no third-party analytics scripts. The only analytics beacon on this site is ours.
- No consent-wall theatre. We don't need a cookie banner because we don't do cross-site tracking. The one cookie we set is a session cookie when you sign in.
Retention & your choices
- Technical logs are kept only as long as needed for security and trend analysis, then reduced to aggregate statistics.
- Your city preference lives in your own browser — clear your browser storage and it's gone.
- Signed-in fans can clear their display name and home city any time from My Itinerary, or ask us to delete the account entirely.
- Comics: listings are built from public information. If you want your page changed or taken down, tell us — see the claim link on your page or just email us.
