Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Overview

DJ Effects ("we," "us," "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use this website (djeffects.com and its subpages), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you choose to provide, including:

• Contact and event details submitted through our Contact form or Event Planner tool — name, email address, phone number, event type, date, venue, guest count, and any message or playlist information you include.
• Uploaded files, such as a playlist document, if you choose to attach one to a form.
• Booking and deposit information if you proceed to secure a date, including a confirmation reference used to match your payment to your booking. Actual card/payment details are handled directly by our payment processor (see below) — we do not store your full payment card information ourselves.
• Automatically collected information, such as general site usage and device/browser information, through analytics tools described below.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

• Respond to your inquiry, confirm availability, and plan your event.
• Process deposits and payments for booked events.
• Communicate with you about your upcoming event (confirmations, timeline questions, reminders).
• Improve this website and our services based on general usage patterns.

We do not use your contact information for unrelated marketing without your consent.

4. Third-Party Services We Use

This website relies on a small number of trusted third-party services to operate:

• Google Analytics — helps us understand how visitors use this site (pages viewed, general location, device type). See Google's own privacy policy for details on how they handle this data.
• Firebase (Google) — powers our live availability calendar and securely stores Contact form submissions so our team can review and respond to them.
• Web3Forms — delivers Contact form submissions to our email inbox.
• A payment processor (such as Stripe) — securely handles deposit payments if you choose to pay online. We do not receive or store your full card details; the processor handles that directly.

Each of these providers has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them if you'd like more detail on how they handle data.

5. Cookies & Analytics

This site uses cookies and similar technologies through Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from browsing or contacting us.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With the service providers listed above, solely to operate this website and deliver our services.
• If required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of DJ Effects or others.
• With your consent, or as otherwise described in this policy.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures — including access-controlled databases and secure, industry-standard third-party providers — to protect the information you share with us. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention

We retain Contact form submissions and booking-related information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, deliver services, and meet our own recordkeeping and legal obligations. You may request deletion of your information at any time (see below).

9. Your Rights & Choices

You can request to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of your information, where we are not otherwise required to retain it (for example, completed booking records).

To make a request, contact us using the details below. Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. School dance and similar event pages are directed at the adults (school staff, parents, event organizers) who book those events, not at students.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
