Privacy notice
This notice explains the information collected through the GastroBeats Cape Town website. Ivie Media manages website enquiries and the ticket update list for the festival. Contact irina@iviemedia.co.za with privacy questions or requests.
Email delivery and third party analytics are not connected. Signups are saved in the site database; no confirmation email is sent automatically.
Ticket updates
If you choose to subscribe, we store your email address, the time and version of your consent, signup source and subscription status. We use this information for GastroBeats Cape Town ticket announcements you have requested. Consent is optional; you can browse the website without subscribing.
Unsubscribe and your choices
New signups receive a private unsubscribe link on the confirmation screen. Repeat signups do not reveal an existing subscriber’s private link. If you need help with an existing subscription, contact Irina. Keep that link. Every ticket update email sent from this list must include an unsubscribe link. You can also request removal at irina@iviemedia.co.za. We stop sending updates when you unsubscribe and retain only the records needed to honour that choice and handle reasonable compliance queries.
Who can access signup details?
Signup records are stored in the website’s hosted database and are accessible through a protected owner dashboard. Authorised organisers and service providers handling ticket communications may process this information for that purpose. Hosting and communication providers may process data outside South Africa. We do not sell the signup list.
Retention and requests
We keep signup information for ticket communications relating to the 2027 Cape Town event and review its retention after the event. You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, or withdraw consent, by emailing Irina. Some minimal records may need to be retained to respect your opt out or meet applicable obligations.
Optional analytics
If you accept analytics, this site records aggregate page views and selected button actions by page and date. The custom analytics does not store your name, email address, IP address or a unique visitor identifier. It measures activity counts, not unique people. Your preference is stored in this browser. You can change it using Privacy settings in the footer.
Videos, Instagram and external services
YouTube and Instagram embeds are loaded only when you choose to load them. Those services can then receive connection information such as your IP address and browser details and may use their own cookies. Their privacy policies apply. Links to maps, YouTube, Instagram and your email app open external services.
Technical processing
The hosting provider may process technical request information needed to deliver and protect the website. Browser storage also keeps your optional analytics choice. These technical services are separate from the aggregate analytics described above.
