Privacy Policy

---

Effective Date: 27 May 2025

Welcome to poppunkshow.com — your backstage pass to the UK music scene. We host podcasts, manage bands, promote events, and offer artists a platform to be seen, heard, and supported. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data across our services, submissions, podcasts, and community tools.

Pop Punk Show is an independent UK-based platform run by a private individual (who prefers to stay anonymous). We operate music podcasts, host submissions, manage artists, and promote live events — all designed to support the DIY and alternative music community.

We collect data when you:

• Submit music, content, or forms
• Sign up to our mailing list
• Create an account (coming soon)
• Join our Discord server (in progress)
• Use our Submithub-style feedback tools
• Attend or perform at events
• Interact with us online

We may collect:

• Name, band name, contact info
• Submitted tracks, bios, links, social media
• Event or booking info
• Feedback or ratings you provide
• Technical data (IP address, device/browser, cookies)

We use your data to:

• Review submissions
• Send you updates and replies
• Feature your music or content
• Run our podcasts and feedback systems
• Coordinate events and bookings
• Build artist accounts and dashboards
• Moderate community tools (e.g. Discord)

We write our emails directly (stored in a secure Google Doc and sent via Mailchimp), and treat your info like we’d want ours treated.

Your data may be stored or processed through:

• Google Drive/Forms – submissions
• Mailchimp – email updates
• GoDaddy – site hosting and cookies
• Podcast platforms – syndication
• Future account system – for artist tools
• Discord – upcoming community server
• Booking/event platforms – where applicable

We use basic cookies and analytics tools (like those from GoDaddy) to understand how people use the site. This is anonymous and used only to improve the experience.

We do not sell or share personal data.

We may share publicly submitted info (e.g. artist names, songs, bios) with podcast guests, collaborators, or promoters — but never anything private without your permission.

You have the right to:

• Access or update your data
• Request deletion
• Withdraw consent
• File a complaint with the ICO

We retain data only as long as necessary for podcasting, artist management, event logistics, or feedback services. If you ever want your info removed, just let us know.

Our site and podcasts are open to all, but we recommend users be 13+ and ideally capable of handling sarcasm, loud guitars, and the music industry’s nonsense. Parents: if your kid is submitting a track, they should ask first.

Our future Discord and feedback platform will include clear community standards. Be respectful, kind, and constructive. If you’re not, we reserve the right to mute, ban, or quietly send you into the void.

We’ll update this policy as the platform evolves. The current version is always available here, with changes noted by date.

Thanks for supporting the scene — and for reading all the way down here. You must really care about data protection. Respect.
