Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

party.dj and feest.dj are operated by a sole proprietorship established in the Netherlands, registered in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce trade register under number 72373458, VAT identification number NL001170748B63, trading under the names feest.dj and party.dj. We are the controller for the processing described in this policy. Contact: legal@party.dj.

2. What we process, why and on which legal basis

Account and profile data

Name, email address, password (stored as a hash) and, for DJs, the profile you build: photos, biography, location, music styles, event types, prices, links and availability. Basis: performance of our agreement with you.

DJ profiles are public. Everything you put on your profile is visible to visitors and, after launch, to search engines. Publish only what you want to share publicly.

Requests, bookings and messages

When a Client submits an availability check or booking request we process event details (date, location, event type, guest count), contact details and the messages exchanged between Client and DJ. Basis: performance of the agreement and our legitimate interest in facilitating contact reliably.

Subscription and payment data

For paid plans our payment provider Mollie processes your payment details. We receive payment status, not your full bank details. Basis: performance of the agreement and legal (tax) obligations.

Calendar links and notifications

If a DJ connects an external calendar we store that calendar URL and read busy periods from it. If you enable push notifications we store the technical subscription for your device; you can switch this off at any time in the dashboard. Basis: performance of the agreement (at your request).

Reviews

Reviews are submitted through a personal link issued after a request or booking, so we can verify they come from real clients. The review, a first name and the event type may be shown publicly. Basis: legitimate interest in reliable, verified reviews.

Technical data

Standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages visited) for security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting. Basis: legitimate interest. Logs are kept for 90 days.

3. Who receives your data

We do not sell personal data. We use these processors and providers:

• Supabase: database, authentication and file storage (EU region).
• Vercel: hosting and content delivery.
• Resend: transactional email delivery.
• Mollie: payment processing for subscriptions (Mollie is an independent controller for its own payment services).

Processors are bound by data processing agreements. Where providers process data outside the EEA (for example in the United States), transfers are safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

In addition, the content of a request or message is shared with the DJ (or their agency) you contact, and vice versa; that is the purpose of the Platform.

4. Retention periods

We keep personal data no longer than necessary. An automated daily routine enforces the periods below.

• Account and profile data: for as long as your account exists. When an account is deleted it first enters a 30-day recovery period (the public profile goes offline immediately); after that the data is permanently erased, subject to the periods below.
• Availability checks, booking requests and client chats: kept until 2 years after the event date as a record for questions or disputes. After that, chat messages are deleted and client details (name, email address, phone number, message) are anonymised. Booking rows themselves remain, without identifiable client data, so DJ statistics stay accurate.
• Subscription and billing records of DJs and agencies: 7 years (statutory tax retention).
• Reviews: publicly visible for as long as the reviewed profile exists; on request we anonymise the reviewer's name.
• Community posts and DJ-to-DJ messages: for as long as the accounts involved exist; posts or messages removed by moderation are marked as deleted.
• Dashboard notifications: deleted automatically after 1 year, or earlier when you remove them.
• Push subscriptions: until you disable notifications, revoke the permission or the subscription technically expires.
• Calendar links: until you disconnect the calendar.
• Launch list signups and invitations: until the invitation is handled or you unsubscribe.
• Support messages: for as long as your account exists.
• Server logs: 90 days.

5. Security

All traffic is encrypted (TLS), data is stored encrypted at rest, passwords are hashed, and access to personal data is restricted to what is strictly necessary. No method is 100% secure, but we apply appropriate technical and organisational measures and review them regularly.

6. No automated decision-making

We do not make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. The order of search results is determined by the factors described in our Terms & Conditions.

7. Children

The Platform is intended for users of 18 years and older.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability. Email legal@party.dj; we respond within one month at the latest. You can also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or the supervisory authority in your own country.

9. Cookies

We only use cookies that are necessary for the Platform to work; no advertising or third-party tracking cookies. See the Cookie Policy.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. Registered users are notified by email of significant changes; the date at the top shows the latest version.
