Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 1, 2026Last updated: November 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how DJ LOVERS CLUB LLC ("DJ Lovers Club," "DJLC," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit thedjloversclub.com (the "Site") or otherwise interact with us. DJ Lovers Club is a media and community brand for electronic dance music culture. We publish interviews and event coverage, run a live events calendar, and operate a community known as "the Fam."

If you have any questions, contact us at hi@thedjloversclub.com, or by mail at 1900 N Bayshore Dr, Apt 4315, Miami, FL 33132.

The short version

  • We collect the information you give us through our forms (like your name and email), plus some information automatically as you browse (like usage and cookie data).
  • We use it to reply to you, run the community, send updates you ask for, keep the Site working, and improve it.
  • If you add your Instagram username in your club account and choose to use it, your engagement with our Instagram posts helps us recommend events and giveaways you may like. You can turn this off at any time. See section 1(f).
  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We share it only with the service providers that help us run the Site (for example our forms and CRM, hosting, email, and analytics tools).
  • We set advertising cookies from Meta only if you accept them on our cookie notice, and you can change that choice at any time from the footer of any page.
  • If you are on one of our lists and live outside the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, we may use your email address and phone number, in hashed form, to show our ads on Facebook and Instagram to you and to people like you. You can ask to be left out at any time. See section 4.
  • You have rights over your information, including the right to access or delete it. See "Your privacy rights" below.

1. Information we collect

a. Information you give us directly. When you submit a form (Brands & Sponsors, Artists & Teams, Event Features, Creators & Ambassadors, Join the Fam, an event signup such as one of our Unlocked city lists (Amsterdam Unlocked, Basel Unlocked or any Unlocked city we add later), the merch presale list, or a DJ competition entry) or email us, we collect what you provide, which may include: your name, email address, phone number, country, company or brand name, artist name and your role, event details, social handles or portfolio links, and anything you write in a message field. Where a form asks for messaging consent, we also keep a record of the consent you gave, when you gave it, and the IP address it was submitted from, so we can demonstrate that consent if required.

b. Membership information. If you Join the Fam, we collect the details needed to run your membership and send member benefits and updates.

c. Information we collect automatically. When you use the Site we may automatically collect: your IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring pages and the source of your visit (for example a search engine, a social app or an AI assistant), the links, buttons and forms you use, how far you scroll and how long you stay, video viewing progress, and, where section 3 allows it, a recording of how you moved through a page. We do this through cookies, browser storage and our analytics tools, as section 3 explains.

d. Information from third parties. If you interact with us through a social platform, or a partner refers you, we may receive limited information from those services consistent with their settings and policies. We also use social analytics tools (Metricool, and Apify for public Instagram data) to read how people engage with our own accounts, which can include public comments, public handles, and follower counts. If you accept advertising cookies, Meta also receives browsing events from this Site through the pixel described in (i), and we see the results only as aggregate ad reporting.

e. Surveys. If you fill out one of our surveys, such as the Vibe Check, we keep the answers you choose to share, including your date of birth if you provide it, alongside your fan record. We use them to personalize what we send you and to shape what we book and build. Every question except your name is optional, and you can ask us to delete your answers at any time at privacy@thedjloversclub.com.

f. Community and messaging interactions. If you interact with our Instagram presence, such as commenting a keyword, receiving an automated reply, tapping a button in a conversation (for example, telling us your favorite genre), or clicking a link we send, we keep a record of those interactions, along with your Instagram username and display name, in our fan database. That record includes the text of messages you send us, which we keep for up to 24 months after our last interaction with you (section 6) and which you can ask us to delete at any time. We use ManyChat to power these automated conversations. These records help us understand what you are interested in and only ever result in messages where platform rules and your opt-ins allow. Your engagement with our own Instagram posts (comments and replies, and, where Instagram tells us who it was, likes, tags, mentions, shares and story replies) reaches us through Meta's tools, collected for us by a contractor that works only on our instructions. We add it to your fan record (section 1(j)) only if you choose to: in your club account you can add your Instagram username and tap Personalize my recs. From then on we use your engagement, matched by that username, to recommend events and giveaways you may like, including by having automated tools sort comments by topic, artist and tone. Engagement from before that day is never added. We never log in to your Instagram account or post anything. If the username you add is also claimed by another account, or does not match the Instagram account we already know from your messages with us, we add nothing until it is sorted out. It all works behind the scenes: your Instagram activity is never shown on screen, to you or anyone else; it only refines the recommendations you see. It is never sold, never sent to Meta or any advertiser, and never used to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you. We keep it for up to 24 months after our last interaction with you. We do not offer this to people in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, or to anyone under 16. You can turn it off at any time with the Use Instagram for my recs switch in your account settings, which stops it and deletes what we added, or by asking at privacy@thedjloversclub.com. Everyone else's comments reach us without a username or any other detail that identifies them, and we use them only to understand how each post landed.

g. Event RSVPs collected by our partners. Some events we co-host take RSVPs on a partner's platform instead of on this Site. If you RSVP to one of those, we receive what you submitted — which may include your name, email address, phone number, and city or country — along with a record of what you agreed to and any marketing opt-in you gave. For the Top 101 Producers & The Future Of Dance event during Amsterdam Dance Event 2026, the RSVP is collected on PLVR's platform and the details are shared between the hosts named in that event's notice when you RSVP. The notice in force is the one linked from the RSVP form, at plvr.io/policy/djlc-privacy; the version that first applied is kept in the appendix at the end of this policy and on its own page. The same notice covers our Open Channel event, where tickets are sold on PLVR's platform.

h. The Fam Wall and check-ins (every Unlocked city guide). This covers the Fam Wall, check-ins and ratings on every DJ Lovers Club Unlocked city guide, including Amsterdam Unlocked, Basel Unlocked and any Unlocked city we add later. If you sign the Fam Wall, we collect the line you write, the rave name and flag you choose to add, and the event you pick. On any Fam Wall you can also add a photo, stickers, a note that shows on the back of your photo, and a crew name. All of these are shown publicly on that page, right away, together with your line, rave name and flag. Only post photos you took, of people who are happy to be posted. Your phone makes the photo smaller before it is sent, and we store it with Supabase in the United States (section 4). If you heart a post, we record an anonymous tap with the same device code described below; hearts are only ever shown as a count, and your phone remembers which posts you hearted. Your line, your rave name and your flag are shown publicly on that page, right away, so please do not put anything in them you would not want to be public, including your real name or contact details. An automatic filter refuses lines containing links, contact details, or certain words, and we remove lines from the wall when we need to. We also store a short code for the device you posted from. It is derived from the random analytics identifier described in (c), it is never your name, email, phone number or IP address, and it is never displayed on the Site. We use it only to moderate the wall: to trace an entry if it is ever disputed, to notice one device posting many entries, and to mark entries made from a device that also checked in at that event. If you use the "I'm here" check-in during the week, we record an anonymous tap with the event, the venue, the night and that same device code. Check-ins are only ever shown as an aggregate, and never as a list of people. If you are signed in to a DJ Lovers Club account when you check in, your check-in is also kept with your account (section 1(l)). If you rate a show afterwards ("Loved it", "Liked it" or "Not for me"), we record the same kind of anonymous tap with your answer. Ratings are only ever counted, never shown publicly, and never tied to a name. By posting to the wall you agree that we may show your line on the Site and feature it in our own recaps and promotion afterwards. You can take your own photo or line off the wall yourself from the phone you posted it from: open it and tap Remove. A removed photo is deleted from our storage straight away. From any other device, or for anything else you posted, ask us at privacy@thedjloversclub.com and we will remove it.

Crews (every Unlocked city guide). You can start or join a crew: a private group of up to 12 phones, made from an invite link that someone in the crew shares with you. You do not need an account, and we never ask for your name, email or phone number for it. Your crew sees the nickname you choose for that crew and the nights you save on My Week for that city, with which of them you have marked “I’m going”, for as long as you are in the crew and that city's week has not ended. There is no chat and nothing else you save, rate or check in is shared. To make this work, your phone creates a random code the first time you use a crew and sends it with each crew request; we store only a scrambled version of it, never the code itself, together with the crew's name, the nicknames and the saved and going nights, with Supabase in the United States (section 4). You can leave a crew at any time, and your nights stop showing to it straight away; the crew's host can also remove you. A phone that has not opened its crews for 180 days leaves them, and a crew with nobody left in it is deleted.

i. Advertising measurement (the Meta pixel). While the Meta pixel is on (after you accept our cookie notice in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland; from arrival unless you decline anywhere else, see section 3), it sends Meta Platforms the pages you view on this Site, event names (a page view; the title of a page or event you open; a signup, a competition or giveaway entry, a completed survey, or a contact form sent, with which kind of enquiry it was but never what you wrote; a ticket click; an event you save or add to your calendar; a plan you build; a search, without what you typed; a video play; a link you tap, with the site it leads to, including a link out to Laylo; the language you pick for the Site; or a checkout), and technical data: your IP address, browser information, and the _fbp and _fbc identifiers stored in its cookies. We never send your name or phone number, and never your email address in readable form. If you join one of our lists or enter a competition on this Site while the pixel is on, our server may send Meta a hashed version of the email you entered: a one-way scramble that Meta can only match against an account already using that email, so the signup can be tied to our ads. The same events can also reach Meta from our server instead of your browser (Meta's Conversions API). They carry the same data and nothing more, and only while the pixel is on. If you decline, the pixel does not load, or stops, and nothing more is sent. See section 3 and our Cookie Policy.

j. Your fan record and the interests we infer. We keep one record per fan and add to it over time. It can bring together: the details you gave us on any of our forms; which of our lists, drops, events, and competitions you signed up for or entered; your survey answers; your interactions with our Instagram automations and the links you tap in messages we send; your engagement with our Instagram posts, where section 1(f) allows; what Laylo tells us about your signups (section 1(k)); your record in our CRM if you have written to us; RSVPs a co-host passes to us for an event we ran together; and the country or city you told us or that your phone's country code implies. Where the same email address, phone number, or a link you tapped shows that two records belong to one person (for example your Laylo signup and your Instagram conversation), we join them. From all of this we draw simple conclusions about your taste, for example the genres, artists, and cities you seem to care about, and store them as tags on your record. We use the record and its tags to decide which messages are relevant to you, to avoid contacting you twice or on a channel you have not opted into, to understand our audience when we plan bookings, content, and partnerships, and to build the advertising audiences described in section 4. The tags are our own working notes: we do not sell them, we do not send them to Meta or any advertiser, and we do not use them to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. You can ask to see your record, have it corrected or deleted, or tell us to stop tagging and tailoring, at any time at privacy@thedjloversclub.com.

k. Signups and messages through Laylo. Most of what we send goes by text message through Laylo, with email and WhatsApp alongside it. When you sign up on a Laylo page or embed (a drop, an RSVP, a giveaway, or Join the Fam), Laylo collects your phone number or email address and your consent on our behalf, and its own terms and privacy policy apply to its platform as well. From Laylo we receive and keep: the phone number or email you signed up with, the city, state, and country Laylo associates with you, when you joined, which drops and RSVPs you signed up for and how often, presaves, how you found us, anything you typed into a drop's own fields (such as a name), any purchases made through Laylo, and whether you have unsubscribed. We use that to choose who gets which message, for example by city, by the kind of event, or by the sound of the drops you signed up for, and to keep a record of your consent. If you gave us your details somewhere other than Laylo (a form on this Site, or a co-hosted RSVP), we may add them to Laylo, but only to send what you agreed to at the time: a list collected for updates about one event is used for that event only. Our pages hosted on Laylo also carry our Meta pixel; the cookie choices there are Laylo's, not the notice on this Site.

l. DJ Lovers Club accounts. You can create a free account if you are 16 or older. You give us your first name and email address, and a phone number if you choose to add one, which we use only to send the texts you opt into. You choose a password, and we email you a one-time code to confirm your email address and whenever you reset your password. For your account we keep your first name, your email address, your phone number if you gave one, the rave name you choose (optional), the things you save on the Site (for example your plan for an Unlocked city, the events you heart, the ones you mark “I’m going”, the artworks and installations you save, your check-ins, your My Week answers and, if you add it, your home city) so they appear on every device you sign in from (when you remove something you saved, it is removed on your other devices too), and the type of each device you have signed in on with a short code for it (derived from the identifier in (c), never your name or IP address). The address you can add for directions in any Unlocked city stays on your device and is never sent to us.

Your dashboard. When you are signed in, your account home shows you shows, music and news picked for you. While an Unlocked city week you saved into is coming up or under way, it also shows your plan for that city in brief: the nights, tickets and artworks you saved, and your next night. We pick them from two things. The first is what you tell us there: the sounds and artists you choose, your home city, the festivals you have been to, how often you go out, how far you travel for a festival, and, if you choose to add it, your Instagram username (section 1(f)). The second is what we already hold about you in your fan record (section 1(j)): the lists, drops and events you signed up for, your RSVPs, what you save and check in to on the Site, and the music styles of the drops you joined. We connect your account to your fan record by the email address you sign in with. We never use a phone number you type in to find or connect your record. When your dashboard mentions something you did, such as an RSVP, it names the event and the month, nothing more. We suggest events from our own listings and from public listings of other events. These are suggestions on a page you asked for. They do not have legal or similarly significant effects on you. You can change your answers or hide any part of the dashboard at any time. To stop us using your fan record for your picks, turn off Personalise my page in your account (it is on until you turn it off); your page then uses only what you tell us there. You can also ask at privacy@thedjloversclub.com.

Your event log. You can keep a log of the events you go to: the event, the date, the venue and city, who played, the ticket type you had and whether you would buy it again, a rating, and your notes. If you check in at a night on any Unlocked city guide while you are signed in, we add that night to your log as a check-in once it has started. You can delete it like any other entry, and we will not add it again. Your log is private. It is not shown to anyone else, and only our team can see it, as with the rest of your account. We use it to show your log back to you and to make your picks better, for example by suggesting artists you rated highly.

Your profile with us. What you tell us in your account (your sounds, artists and city, the artists and venues you follow, the nights you log and the tickets you had) is added to the profile we keep for you as a member, alongside what we already hold from your sign-ups and RSVPs and, where section 1(f) allows, your engagement with our Instagram. We use that profile to pick what you see, and to understand our members so we can plan events, music and offers they will want. We never sell it and never hand your profile to a partner, except a partner a sign-up form named when you gave them your details, and the Meta advertising described in section 4, which you can opt out of.

What you do while signed in. While you are signed in, what you do on the Site is connected to your account: the usage our analytics records (described in (c) and section 3) is linked to your account's identifier, never your email, and we keep a history of what you do with your account. On your dashboard and on the Unlocked city guides, that history holds each thing you tap or choose there (which button, link, filter or event, on which page) and the words you put in a search box, never anything else you type and never other people's names; elsewhere on the Site it holds key actions, such as the events you open, the ticket and resale links you tap, what you add to your calendar, your searches, your check-ins and wall posts. We use this to run your account across devices, to understand what members use, and to improve the Site and what we offer. This history is for our team only and is not shown in your account. You can ask us to stop keeping it, or for a copy of it, at any time at privacy@thedjloversclub.com.

Your choices, and how long we keep it. Creating an account never adds you to a messaging list. The box on the sign-up form for drops and guest lists is a separate choice, and we keep a consent record for it. If you do not sign in for 24 months, we email you, and 30 days later we delete the account and everything in it. We keep this history for 12 months, then delete it or reduce it to totals. When you delete an entry from your event log, it leaves your account straight away and we remove it from our working copies 30 days later. When you delete your account, it is gone from your account straight away, your event log included, and we remove it from our working copies within 30 days. Older copies can remain in backups and edit history, which we do not use; if we ever restore one, we delete your data from it again. You can sign out on any device and delete your account in your account settings. You can also ask us for everything we hold, or to delete it, at privacy@thedjloversclub.com.

m. Ticket giveaways and waitlists run with a partner. When you enter a ticket giveaway or join an event waitlist on this Site, we collect your name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, age, where you live, and your answers on the entry form, together with the giveaway terms and the notice you saw. We use them, and share them with the partner named on the form (for the Amsterdam giveaway run with Anglo Management Music Ltd, that is Anglo Management; for the New York waitlist run with Daybreaker LLC, that is Daybreaker; for the New York giveaway run with Massano Live LLP and Simulate Music Limited, that is Massano), only to run it: to choose who gets tickets or a spot, to contact you about it by phone, text, WhatsApp or email, and to put tickets in your name. We do this because you asked to take part. Entering never adds you to a messaging list on its own: only if you also tick the optional box on the form do we and the partner named in it send you marketing messages, and we may then add you to Laylo (section 1(k)). Every entry is deleted 90 days after the show, apart from that opt-in, which we keep as described in section 6.

n. Competitions and entries run with a partner. Some DJ competitions and other entries on this Site are run together with a partner, such as a festival, promoter, cruise or artist's management. The partner is named on the entry form, which links its own privacy policy and terms. When you enter, we share your entry with the partner named on that form so it can run the competition with us: judging, choosing and contacting the winner, and booking them. The partner then keeps its copy under its own privacy policy. A partner uses your details for its own marketing, by email or text, only if you tick the optional box on that form that names it; entering on its own never signs you up with anyone. A partner added after you entered does not receive your entry. If you ask us to delete your entry, we pass the request on to the partner that received it. Some partner competitions take entries on the partner's own entry page instead of this Site. There, the partner shares your entry with us to run the competition together (reviewing, judging and choosing finalists and the winner), and we use it only for that. We add you to our own messages, by email or text, only if you tick the optional DJ Lovers Club box on that page.

o. Giveaways and drops run with a partner on Laylo or social media. Some giveaways and drops are run together with a partner, such as a venue, promoter, festival or artist, and you take part on a Laylo page or by commenting on one of our social posts rather than on a form on this Site. The partner is named in the post or on the drop page. We share with that partner only what it needs to run the giveaway with us: the names and cities of the people who entered, so the winners can be chosen, and each winner's contact details, so the prize can be arranged. A partner receives your phone number or email address for its own marketing only if the drop page named that partner as a recipient when you joined (in the sign-up details shown with the button), or you chose to join the partner's own list yourself (for example on the follow-up step Laylo shows after you sign up). A partner named after you signed up never receives your contact details for its marketing. If you ask us to delete your details, we pass the request on to any partner that received them.

p. Text conversations with our business line. When you text our business number, (786) 808 2314, or are in a group text that includes it, we keep the messages and any photos or files sent in that conversation, along with the names and phone numbers of the people in it. Our team and our automated assistant read them so the right person on our side can follow up on your project, event or booking. Our assistant does not send texts; replies come from a member of our team. Our text messaging provider, Twilio, handles these messages on our behalf. You can ask us to delete them at any time at privacy@thedjloversclub.com.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health, precise geolocation, or government IDs) through the Site.

2. How we use your information

We use the information to:

  • respond to your inquiry or application and route it to the right team;
  • operate, provide, and administer the Fam community and member benefits;
  • send you newsletters, event updates, and offers by email, either because you asked to receive them or, for people in the United States, because you gave us your email through one of our forms where we told you we would email you (you can unsubscribe from any message);
  • send you text messages (SMS) or WhatsApp messages about events and updates you signed up for, only where you have opted in, and you can opt out anytime;
  • maintain a single fan record (section 1(j)) that brings together what you share with us across our forms, signups, and community interactions, so we know your preferences (like favorite genres and cities), avoid duplicate outreach, and never contact you on a channel you have not opted into;
  • run your DJ Lovers Club account, keep what you save in sync across your devices, show you a dashboard of picks and keep your event log, and keep the activity history described in section 1(l);
  • personalize and improve the Site and our content;
  • measure performance and understand our audience in aggregate;
  • show our ads on Facebook and Instagram to people on our lists and to people similar to them, as described in section 4 (never for people in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland);
  • keep the Site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and enforce our terms;
  • comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies and tracking technologies

Our own analytics (Vercel Web Analytics and PostHog) measure how the Site is used without analytics cookies and without following you onto other sites. They rely on a random identifier stored in your browser's local storage so that one person counts once rather than once per page. That identifier is never your name, email or phone. Our analytics work at two levels:

  • Basic, always on. Named actions on the Site (for example opening an event, tapping a ticket link, saving a show, starting or sending a form, scrolling, playing a video), counted against that random identifier, together with the page, the referring site and the source of the visit (including how your first visit reached us). At this level we never record what you type into a form; the only words we keep are the ones you type into a search box on the Site, so we can see what people look for.
  • Full, under the same choice as our advertising cookies. We keep a profile for your browser in PostHog: where your visits come from, the music and events you show interest in, what you save, and which of our forms you have joined. When you sign up through one of our forms, we add a one-way scrambled code made from your email address (a SHA-256 hash, never the address itself) so your browsing can be matched to your fan record. At this level PostHog also records the clicks and changes you make on a page (not what you type), builds heatmaps of where people tap, and may make a session recording: a replay of how you moved through the Site, with every field you type into hidden. Full analytics run only after you tap Accept in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and everywhere else until you tap Decline or your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal. Session recordings have a stricter rule of their own: besides those three regions, they also wait for Accept in the US states whose laws require everyone's consent to record (including California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Washington). You can switch full analytics and recordings off at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer.

If you sign in to a DJ Lovers Club account, PostHog links your usage to your account's identifier (never your email) while you are signed in (section 1(l)), and when you sign out the browser starts again with a new random identifier. On our Unlocked pages, local storage also remembers the events you save so your plan survives a refresh. Clearing site data in your browser removes what is stored there; what you saved to your account stays in your account until you delete it.

The only cookies we set ourselves are advertising cookies from Meta, and whether they are set before you have answered our cookie notice depends on where you are. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, nothing loads until you tap Accept. Everywhere else the Meta pixel loads when you arrive, as United States law allows with a notice and a way to opt out, and tapping Decline on the same notice stops it and deletes its cookies. To tell the two apart we look up the country of your IP address once, on our own server, and keep only the one-word answer in your browser for 30 days. Declining changes nothing about how the Site works. While the pixel is on, it sets the _fbp cookie and reads the _fbc cookie so Meta can tell whether our Facebook and Instagram ads led to a visit or a signup, and can show our ads to people who have visited. You can change your choice at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer, and we honour the Global Privacy Control signal as a decline wherever you are. The full details, including the cookie table, are in our Cookie Policy.

Embedded content can set its own cookies when you interact with it, including our Join the Fam signup (Laylo), Spotify players, and YouTube video embeds. On the Vibe Check, Laylo's own script loads with the page so its signup box works there. We use YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) to reduce tracking, but playback and other third-party embeds may still collect data under their own policies.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking them will not affect how the Site works. For details, see our Cookie Policy.

4. How we share information

We share personal information only as described here. We do not sell your personal information. While the Meta pixel is on (section 3), the information it collects is shared with Meta for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you can stop that at any time through the Cookie settings link in the footer. Nothing is shared with Meta through the pixel while it is off. Separately, we may use our own lists to build advertising audiences, described under "Advertising audiences built from our lists" below.

  • Service providers and processors. Companies that help us operate the Site and business, under contracts that limit their use of the data, including:
    • GoHighLevel, for our contact and application forms, CRM, email, and community management;
    • Laylo, the messaging platform behind our signups and announcements, for the messages you opt into by email, text (SMS), and WhatsApp — including the Join the Fam signup, drop announcements, and our Unlocked city lists. Where you signed up on our own site rather than through a Laylo form, we add your details to Laylo so we can send the messages you agreed to;
    • Twilio, which carries text messages to and from our business line;
    • ManyChat, for automated Instagram conversations when you interact with our accounts;
    • Vercel, for website hosting, content delivery, privacy-friendly usage analytics, and measuring how fast our pages load (Speed Insights, which uses no identifier);
    • Supabase, which stores Club accounts (section 1(l)), Fam Wall photos and crews (section 1(h)), stores your password in scrambled form only, and sends the one-time codes, on servers in the United States;
    • PostHog, for cookieless product analytics, browser profiles, heatmaps and session recordings (full analytics only, see section 3) and error reports from this Site, linked to your account's identifier while you are signed in (section 1(l));
    • Shopify, which runs our merch store and its checkout, so your order and payment details go to Shopify and its payment processors rather than to us;
    • Metricool and Apify, for the social analytics described in section 1(d), and a social media contractor that collects engagement with our Instagram posts through Meta's tools for us (section 1(f));
    • email delivery services (such as Resend), for some of the emails we send;
    • AI tools (such as Anthropic's Claude), which help us organize our records, keep the fan record in section 1(j) tidy, sort comments on our posts by topic, artist and tone (section 1(f)), and draft content, and which process information only on our instructions;
    • Google (Workspace, including Sheets), for securely storing event signups, our fan database, and running our internal operations;
    • Google Fonts, which serves the fonts this Site uses and so receives your IP address and browser information when a page loads (it sets no cookies here).
  • Advertising partner. Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for people in the EEA and the UK) receives the pixel data described in section 1(i) while the pixel is on (section 3: with your consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland; from arrival unless you decline anywhere else), for advertising measurement and for building audiences for our ads on Facebook and Instagram. Meta also uses that data under its own privacy policy. Nothing is sent while it is off.
  • Advertising audiences built from our lists. If you are on one of our marketing lists (for example a Laylo signup, one of our Unlocked city lists, or the merch presale list), we may upload your email address and phone number to Meta so it can show our ads to you on Facebook and Instagram and find people similar to our fans. Each one is turned into a one-way hashed code on our computer before it is sent, so Meta does not receive it in readable form and can only match a code against an account that already uses the same email or number. Under Meta's terms for customer lists, it uses the codes only to build the audience for us, does not share them with other advertisers, and deletes them once matching is done. Nothing else you have told us is part of these lists: no name, no answers, no tags, and never your text-messaging consent. If you joined one of our lists before 21 September 2026, when this section was added, we will include you only after we have sent you a notice of this update with a way to opt out. We build each list only from people who are currently subscribed, so unsubscribing takes you out of the next one, and you can email hi@thedjloversclub.com at any time to be left out straight away. We do not do this for people in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, or for anyone we know only through an RSVP form that has its own notice saying their details are not shared (the Top 101 Producers RSVP and the Open Channel RSVP). This does not use cookies, so the Cookie settings choice does not control it.
  • Co-hosted event RSVPs. When we run an event with other brands, the RSVP details are shared between the co-hosts and partners named at the point of signup, so each can run the event and keep its own record of who attended. For the Top 101 Producers & The Future Of Dance and Open Channel events the hosts are named, event by event, in the notice linked from the signup form; a host added after you signed up does not receive your details. Marketing from those brands is sent only where you opted in at signup: on a partner's form that is the optional box, and RSVPing on its own never signs you up for it; on a Laylo drop the signup itself is the opt-in, and the sentence under the button names every brand you are agreeing to hear from.
  • Competition and giveaway partners. The partner named on a competition or giveaway entry form receives your entry to run it with us, as described in section 1(n) and section 1(m). It receives your details for its own marketing only if you ticked the box on that form that names it. A partner on a giveaway or drop run on Laylo or social media receives entrants' names and cities and the winners' contact details to run it, and anyone's phone number or email address for its own marketing only if the Laylo drop page named it as a recipient when that person joined (section 1(o)).
  • Partners, only with your consent or at your direction (for example, if you ask us to connect you with a sponsor or event partner).
  • Legal and safety, when required by law, to respond to legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of DJLC, our users, or others.
  • Business transfers, if DJLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will notify you of any change in how your information is handled.

Your phone number and your messaging consent. We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not sell your mobile phone number or your text-messaging consent, and we do not share them with any third party for that third party's own marketing. Where a signup form names more than one brand as a sender — for example a co-hosted event where every brand is listed on the opt-in itself — you are giving consent to each brand named at the moment you sign up, and each receives it directly from that form. Apart from that, your number goes to the service providers listed above that deliver the messages for us, such as Laylo, and, in hashed form only, to Meta so it can match you for our own ads as described under "Advertising audiences built from our lists" above. Meta may use it only to build that audience for us, never for its own marketing or anyone else's. Your text-messaging consent itself is never passed to anyone except the providers that deliver our messages. This applies to our text (SMS and RCS) and WhatsApp messaging.

5. Third-party links and embeds

The Site links to and embeds third-party services, including YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, ticketing and event sites, sponsor or partner sites, and Google Translate, which serves a translated copy of our pages from Google's own domain when you pick a language in the footer. We do not control those services, and their data practices are governed by their own privacy policies. Review them before providing information.

6. How long we keep information

We keep personal information for up to 24 months after your last interaction with us (a signup, an entry, an RSVP, a message, or a reply to one of ours), and then we delete or anonymize it. While you keep taking part, your record stays current. When information reaches that point, we take it out of the lists and records we work from and hold it in a private archive that only our account owner can open. We do not use the archive for anything: no messages, no ads, no analysis. If you ask us to delete your information, we delete it from the archive too. Some information is kept for less time, and a little is kept longer:

  • Giveaway entries are deleted 90 days after the show. If you ticked the box to hear from us, that signup is kept like any other signup, under the 24-month rule.
  • Session recordings are deleted automatically after 30 days, and analytics events after one year. A browser profile is kept only as long as it helps us understand how the Site is used, and you can ask us to delete yours at any time.
  • Club account data (section 1(l)) is kept while you use the account, and deleted as section 1(l) describes: after 24 months without a sign-in, or when you delete the account (gone from your account straight away, and from our working copies within 30 days; older copies can remain in backups and edit history, which we do not use, and if we ever restore one, we delete your data from it again). Event log entries you delete are removed from our working copies 30 days later.
  • Instagram engagement added to a fan record (section 1(f)) is kept for up to 24 months after our last interaction with you, and comments kept without a username are kept as post-level statistics.
  • If you opt out or ask us not to contact you, we keep only your email address or phone number and the date, for as long as needed, so that we never contact you again.
  • Consent records (the wording you agreed to, when, and the IP address it came from) are kept as long as we rely on that consent, plus the period needed to show we had it.
  • Crews are kept while their members use them: a phone that has not opened its crews for 180 days leaves them, and an empty crew is deleted.
  • Fam Wall entries and photos are published content, so they stay on the wall as part of our archive, and may be used in later recaps, until you remove yours or ask us to. A photo you remove is deleted straight away; the rest of that entry stays in our moderation records, off the wall. Check-in and rating records are added up into totals, and the underlying taps are deleted or anonymized within 24 months.
  • Records the law requires, such as accounting records, are kept for as long as that law says.

The _fbp cookie set by the Meta pixel lasts 90 days from when it was last set, and your cookie choice stays in your browser until you change it or clear site data. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

7. How we protect information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Protect your own accounts by using strong, unique passwords and being careful about what you share.

8. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of these rights:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you;
  • Correct inaccurate information;
  • Delete your information;
  • Opt out of marketing emails (use the unsubscribe link in any email);
  • Opt out of "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, using the Cookie settings link in the footer or the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, which we honour (we do not sell your data);
  • Object to direct marketing, including the tagging and tailoring described in section 1(j) and the advertising audiences in section 4, at any time and without giving a reason;
  • Restrict or object to certain other processing, and data portability, where the law provides;
  • Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

To exercise any right, email hi@thedjloversclub.com. We will verify your request and respond within the time the law requires. You may use an authorized agent where permitted.

9. California residents (CCPA and CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the rights above, including to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. When you submit an entry form that names a partner and says your entry will be shared with it, or tick a box asking for news from that named partner, or sign up on a Laylo drop whose page names a partner as a recipient, you are intentionally directing us to disclose your details to that partner (sections 1(n) and 1(o)), which California law does not treat as a sale. Information collected by the Meta pixel (identifiers and internet activity) is "shared" for cross-context behavioral advertising as California defines it. In the United States the pixel loads when you arrive, so this sharing starts then. You can opt out at any time using the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link in the footer, or by turning on Global Privacy Control in your browser, which we honour. Uploading hashed email addresses and phone numbers from our lists to Meta, described in section 4, is also "sharing" under California law; because it does not involve your browser, you opt out of it by emailing hi@thedjloversclub.com, and we will leave you out of every list from then on. In the past 12 months we have collected the categories described in "Information we collect" (identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, the content you submit, and the inferences about your music tastes described in section 1(j)) and used and disclosed them as described in "How we use your information" and "How we share information." We do not knowingly collect the personal information of Californians under 16 without required consent. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

Other U.S. states. Several other states, including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and Oregon, give their residents rights similar to California's. Wherever you live in the United States, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete your information, and you can opt out of targeted advertising (the Cookie settings link in the footer for the pixel, and an email to us for the list-based audiences in section 4) and of the tagging and tailoring in section 1(j). We do not sell personal information and we do not process sensitive personal information to profile you. If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our decision or emailing privacy@thedjloversclub.com with "Appeal" in the subject line, and we will answer within the time your state's law requires.

10. EEA, UK, and Swiss users (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data on these legal bases:

  • Consent (for example, marketing emails, and the advertising cookies set by the Meta pixel, and the full analytics in section 3 (browser profile, click capture, heatmaps and session recordings), all of which for you start only after you tap Accept and which you can withdraw at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer);
  • Contract (to provide membership and services you request, including your DJ Lovers Club account, and to run a competition or giveaway you enter, including sharing your entry with the partner named on its form, section 1(n), or with the partner named on a giveaway or drop, section 1(o)). A partner's marketing to you rests on your consent, given only by the optional box naming it or by a Laylo drop page naming it when you joined;
  • Legitimate interests (to run, secure, and improve the Site and community, to keep the activity history of a signed-in account in section 1(l), which you can ask us to stop at any time, to pick what your dashboard shows from your fan record, and to keep the fan record in section 1(j) so that what we send you is relevant, balanced against your rights). You can object to this at any time, and where your objection is to direct marketing or the tailoring behind it, we will simply stop;
  • Legal obligation (to comply with the law).

You have the GDPR rights listed above, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for users in the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl; in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk). Our data controller is DJ LOVERS CLUB LLC, contactable at the details at the top of this policy.

We do not make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects. We do not upload the details of people in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland to Meta to build advertising audiences (section 4), and we do not add their engagement with our Instagram posts to their fan record (section 1(f)).

Where you accept advertising cookies, the recipient of the pixel data for EEA and UK users is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. Its onward transfer of that data to the United States relies on Meta's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension, alongside Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. International data transfers

We are based in the United States and our service providers may process data in the US and elsewhere. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, a provider's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Meta holds one), or our processors' equivalent approved transfer mechanisms.

12. Children's privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and if we learn that we have, we will delete it promptly. We also do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. Many of the events we feature are restricted to adults 18 or older; attendance rules are set by each venue. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at hi@thedjloversclub.com and we will delete it.

13. Marketing choices

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any message, or by emailing us. To stop text messages, reply STOP to any text we send. To stop WhatsApp messages, reply STOP in WhatsApp or email us and we will remove you. To be left out of the advertising audiences we build from our lists (section 4), email us and we will take you out. Essential service and transactional messages (for example, a reply to your application) are not marketing and may still be sent.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice. Until October 29, 2026 this policy named Bonobo Studios LLC as the company behind DJ Lovers Club. From that date the company is DJ LOVERS CLUB LLC, at the address in section 15; nothing about how your information is used or shared changed with it. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Appendix — Top 101 Producers RSVP: Privacy & Data Use Notice

This appendix reproduces, in full, the joint notice that applied to RSVPs for 1001Tracklists x FinalFinal x DJ Lovers Club: Top 101 Producers & The Future Of Dance (Amsterdam, 22 October 2026) made from 24 August to 23 September 2026. The RSVP for that event is collected on PLVR's platform rather than on this Site. Since 23 September 2026 the notice in force is the one linked from the RSVP form, at plvr.io/policy/djlc-privacy. The version in force on the day you RSVPed is the one that applies to your RSVP, which is why this one is kept here and at its own page.

1. Who we are

This RSVP is run jointly by:

  • PLVR, which operates the RSVP site and form — contact: support@plvr.io;
  • 1001Tracklists — contact: info@1001tracklists.com;
  • FinalFinal, the event's presenting sponsor, which receives your RSVP details as described in section 4 — you can reach them through any of the contacts listed here;
  • DJ Lovers Club (Bonobo Studios LLC, 1900 N Bayshore Drive, Miami, FL 33132) — contact: hi@thedjloversclub.com.

Each of us is a data controller for the RSVP information described here. You can exercise any of your rights by contacting any one of us at the addresses above, and we will pass your request to the others — you never have to contact all of us.

2. What we collect

When you RSVP we collect what you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and city or country. We also keep a record of your acceptance of this notice and any marketing opt-in you give — the time, the IP address it was submitted from, and the exact wording you agreed to — so we can demonstrate that consent if required. The RSVP platform may also collect basic device and usage data under its own policy. We do not ask for, and you should not submit, sensitive personal information.

3. How we use your information

  • To run this event: managing the guest list and capacity, verifying entry at the door, and sending you messages about this event — such as your confirmation, timing, venue and lineup updates, and day-of logistics — by email, or by text (SMS) or WhatsApp if you gave a phone number (message and data rates may apply; reply STOP to any text or WhatsApp message to stop event messages). Legal basis: taking steps you requested (your RSVP) and our legitimate interest in operating the event.
  • News and other events: only if you ticked the optional box, PLVR, 1001Tracklists, FinalFinal, and DJ Lovers Club may send you news, event invites, and announcements of other events by email, text (SMS), or WhatsApp. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time — every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, reply STOP to any text or WhatsApp message (text HELP for help), and withdrawing does not affect anything done before you withdrew. RSVPing alone never signs you up for these.
  • Understanding our audience: each of us may keep what you share here as part of our fan and community records, together with your other interactions with that brand, so we know your preferences, avoid duplicate outreach, and can improve our events and content. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in understanding our audience, balanced against your rights — and you can ask any of us to delete your record at any time (section 8).

4. Data usage and sharing policy

Your RSVP details are shared between PLVR, 1001Tracklists, FinalFinal, and DJ Lovers Club, and each of us may use them for the purposes described in section 3 — running this event, keeping our own fan and community records, and, only where you opted in, news and other-event announcements.

  • None of us sells your personal information, and none of us shares it with anyone outside this list except the providers and partners below, or where the law requires (legal process, or protecting the rights and safety of the event, its guests, or others).
  • Service providers and event partners: the platforms and partners that help us operate the RSVP, the messaging, and entry at the event — including Laylo, the messaging platform we use to send updates you opted into — process data on our behalf under agreements that limit their use of it.
  • If you did not tick the box, none of us will send you news or other-event announcements — only messages about this event.

5. RSVP, entry, and the event itself

An RSVP is a request to attend, not a ticket: capacity is limited, entry is not guaranteed, and the venue's age and entry rules apply. The event may be photographed and filmed; by attending you may appear in crowd photography or footage used to cover the event.

6. How long we keep it

We keep RSVP records as part of our fan and community records for as long as you stay connected with us — each new interaction (an RSVP, a signup, a message, an opt-in) starts that period again — and for up to 24 months after our last interaction with you, plus any period the law requires. If you are opted into marketing, we keep your contact details until you unsubscribe. We may keep information in anonymized or aggregated form, which no longer identifies you, indefinitely for analytics and audience insights. Consent records are kept as long as needed to demonstrate compliance. When identifiable information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it — and you can ask for deletion sooner at any time (section 8).

7. How we protect it

Each of us uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your information, to object to or restrict processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any right, contact any of the brands at the addresses in section 1 — the brand you contact will pass your request to the others as needed. You will never be treated differently for exercising your rights.

9. EEA / UK users

Where GDPR applies, our legal bases are consent (marketing), steps taken at your request (the RSVP), and legitimate interests (running and securing the event). You may complain to your local data protection authority — in the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl); in the UK, the ICO (ico.org.uk). Data may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate; where personal data is transferred from the EEA or UK we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or a provider's certification under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards through any of the contacts in section 1.

10. California residents

You have the rights described above, including to know, delete, and correct. We do not sell or share your personal information as defined under California law: the disclosures between the parties described here are for running the event and maintaining our own fan and community records, not for cross-context behavioral advertising, and no money changes hands for your data.

11. Age

This is an 18+ event and this RSVP is for adults aged 18 and over; you may be asked for valid photo ID at the door. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16, and RSVPs from minors will be deleted.

12. Changes

If this notice changes materially before the event, we will update the date above and post the new version at the same link.
