Last updated: April 2026

Introduction

K-Event Calendar ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at kpopcalendar.com (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data. We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

When you contact us through the contact form, we collect the name, email address, subject, and message you submit. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to a marketing list, share your information with third parties, or use it for any purpose other than responding to your message and maintaining a record of past correspondence.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Service, we and our third-party providers may collect certain information automatically, including:

• Log data: your IP address, browser type and version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
• Device information: your device's operating system, unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and browser characteristics.
• Usage data: anonymized data about how you interact with the Service, such as which pages you visit, which buttons you click, and how long you stay.
• Cookies and similar technologies: see the "Cookies" section below.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are small files placed on your device by your browser. We use the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies: required for the Service to function. These include session cookies for our authentication system, preference cookies for your timezone and theme selection, and load-balancing cookies set by our hosting provider.
• Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics to measure anonymized site usage. These help us understand which pages are popular and how readers move through the site.
• Advertising cookies: set by Google AdSense and its partners to deliver advertisements and to measure ad performance. See "Google AdSense" below.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse all cookies, refuse third-party cookies only, or delete cookies on demand. If you refuse cookies, some parts of the Service may not function as intended.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Service. Google AdSense uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our Service or to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings page at adssettings.google.com. You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized ads by visiting aboutads.info. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Service. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our Service. We use this information to improve the Service. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.

You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

How we use your information

K-Event Calendar uses the collected data for the following purposes:

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To respond to your inquiries when you contact us
• To monitor the usage of the Service and improve user experience
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues
• To serve relevant ads through Google AdSense (see Google AdSense section for opt-out information)

Legal basis for processing personal data under GDPR

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the personal information we collect and the specific context in which we collect it. We may process your personal data because:

• You have given us permission to do so
• The processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your rights
• We need to comply with applicable law

Your rights under GDPR

If you are an EEA resident, you have certain data protection rights. We aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your personal data. You have the right to:

• Access, update, or delete the information we have on you
• Have your information rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete
• Object to our processing of your personal data
• Request that we restrict processing of your personal data
• Receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Withdraw your consent at any time where we relied on your consent to process your information

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our contact page. We will respond within 30 days.

Your rights under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to know: you can request that we disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell.
• Right to delete: you can request that we delete personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to opt out of sale: we do not sell your personal information. The CCPA gives you the right to opt out, even though we don't engage in the practice.
• Right to non-discrimination: you have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your CCPA rights.

To exercise these rights, contact us through our contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

Children's privacy

The Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.

Data retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 24 months for the purpose of responding to follow-up questions and maintaining a record of past correspondence. Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely for analytics and reporting purposes.

Data security

The security of your data is important to us, but no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We use industry-standard security practices, including HTTPS encryption for all traffic, secure hosting partners, and access controls on internal systems. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party services

The Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us (including ticketing partners, travel partners, and agency websites). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, by posting a notice on the Service. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
