PRIVACY POLICY
Effective Date: October 1, 2026
Bad Crowd ("Bad Crowd," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains, in general terms, how we collect, use, and protect information when you use badcrowd.live and related Bad Crowd services.
This is an initial launch-stage privacy policy. We expect to expand and revise it as Bad Crowd adds additional contact-information intake, notifications, personalization, creator tools, analytics, and other features.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information you provide directly
We may collect information you choose to provide, including:
- Email address and other account information when you create or use an account.
- Name and email address when you submit feedback or contact us.
- Saved shows, comics, venues, Stage Time opportunities, preferences, or similar information associated with your account.
- Information you submit through future forms, profile tools, claim-profile features, or other interactive features.
Information collected automatically
When you use the site, we and our service providers may automatically receive technical information such as:
- Browser type and device information.
- Pages or features you access.
- Approximate timestamps and standard server or application log information.
- Cookies or similar technologies needed for account sessions, authentication, saved state, security, and site operation.
We do not intend to collect sensitive personal information through ordinary site use. Please do not submit passwords, payment information, government identifiers, health information, or other highly sensitive data through feedback or contact forms.
2. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We may use information to:
- Provide and operate Bad Crowd.
- Create and maintain user accounts.
- Save and synchronize user selections and preferences.
- Respond to feedback, questions, and support requests.
- Improve site usability, content, discovery, data quality, and features.
- Maintain security, prevent abuse, troubleshoot problems, and protect the service.
- Send notifications or other communications that you request or consent to receive.
- Develop future personalization, recommendation, creator, and community features.
3. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Bad Crowd may use cookies or similar technologies for authentication, account sessions, saved state, security, preferences, and basic site functionality.
We may also use analytics or performance tools in the future. If our use of analytics, advertising, tracking, or marketing technologies materially changes, we intend to update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
4. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Bad Crowd relies on third-party service providers to operate portions of the service. These may include hosting, authentication, database, email-delivery, analytics, and infrastructure providers.
These providers may process information on our behalf according to their own terms and privacy practices.
Bad Crowd may also link to third-party websites, ticketing platforms, venue websites, comic websites, social platforms, or other external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.
5. ACCOUNT AND SAVED INFORMATION
If you create an account, we may associate saved shows, comics, venues, Stage Time opportunities, preferences, or other product activity with your account.
Some saving functionality may also work locally in your browser before you create or sign into an account. Local browser information may remain on the device or browser where it was created unless it is synchronized to an account.
6. COMMUNICATIONS
If you provide an email address, we may use it to:
- Respond to feedback or support requests.
- Send account-related or transactional messages.
- Send notifications you specifically request.
- Communicate about important service or policy changes.
We do not currently promise a marketing-email program through this policy. If we introduce newsletters, promotional emails, or broader marketing communications, we will provide appropriate choices and update our practices as needed.
7. DATA RETENTION
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain accounts, respond to requests, meet legal or operational obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or enforce our agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and how it is used.
8. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information. However, no online service, database, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. CHILDREN
Bad Crowd is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Bad Crowd, please contact us so we can review the situation.
10. YOUR CHOICES
Depending on the features available, you may be able to:
- Choose whether to create an account.
- Remove or change saved items.
- Avoid providing optional contact information.
- Request help regarding information associated with your account.
As Bad Crowd adds additional account, notification, personalization, and contact-intake features, we expect to expand this section.
11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy as Bad Crowd evolves. We may revise the effective date above when material changes are made.
