Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Bonobo Studios 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 Drive, 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.
• 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).
• 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, or an event signup such as our our Amsterdam Unlocked list) 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 interactions, through cookies and similar technologies and our analytics tools.

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 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 you have asked to receive (you can opt out anytime);
• 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;
• personalize and improve the Site and our content;
• measure performance and understand our audience in aggregate;
• keep the Site secure, prevent spam and abuse, and enforce our terms;
• comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies and tracking technologies

This Site sets no cookies of its own, and we do not use advertising pixels or cross-site tracking. Our analytics (Vercel Web Analytics and PostHog) measure how the Site is used without cookies and without profiling you across 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, and it never leaves this Site's analytics. On our Amsterdam Unlocked pages, local storage also remembers the events you save so your plan survives a refresh. Clearing site data in your browser removes both.

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. 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 control cookies through your browser settings. Because we set none of our own, blocking them will not affect how the Site works. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will add a consent banner first. 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, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising except as you consent through cookie settings.

• 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, for the Join the Fam signup and the drop announcements you opt into by email and SMS;
  • Vercel, for website hosting, content delivery, and privacy-friendly usage analytics;
  • Google (Workspace, including Sheets), for securely storing event signups and running our internal operations;
  • Google Fonts, which serves the fonts this Site uses.
• 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.

5. Third-party links and embeds

The Site links to and embeds third-party services, including YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, TikTok, ticketing and event sites, and sponsor or partner sites. 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 only as long as needed for the purposes described here, to run the community and our relationship with you, and to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. As a guide: inquiry and application records are kept while we work with you and for up to 24 months after our last interaction; event signup lists are kept through the event cycle they relate to and then deleted or anonymized; membership records are kept for the life of the membership plus any period the law requires; and consent records are kept as long as we rely on that consent, plus the period needed to demonstrate compliance. 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 "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (note: we do not sell your data);
• Restrict or object to certain 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 or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. In the past 12 months we have collected the categories described in "Information we collect" (identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, and the content you submit) 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.

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 non-essential cookies);
• Contract (to provide membership and services you request);
• Legitimate interests (to run, secure, and improve the Site and community, balanced against your rights);
• 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 Bonobo Studios LLC, contactable at the details at the top of this policy.

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 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. 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. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
