GelatinBookings, LLC ("Gelatin," "we," "us"), operator of gelatinbookings.com, provides this Privacy Policy to explain how we handle personal information.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you use the Platform as a DJ, venue, promoter, attendee, or visitor.

Attendee head counts are aggregate
Verified Draw is a count of people at an event — we aim to collect it as an aggregate number, not the personal identities of attendees. Patron Ratings are collected with the minimum information necessary and may be anonymous or pseudonymous.
3. How We Use Information
- Operate the marketplace: accounts, profiles, search, bookings, and messaging.
- Process payments, escrow, and payouts (via Stripe).
- Generate and display Verified Draw and Ratings.
- Provide support, security, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution.
- Send transactional and (with choice) marketing communications.
- Improve and analyze the Platform.
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms.
4. Legal Bases (where applicable)
Where required (e.g., EU/UK), we rely on: performance of a contract; legitimate interests (operating and securing the Platform); consent (e.g., marketing); and legal obligations.
7. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, to comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
- Account data: retained while your account is active.
- Booking and payment records: retained for up to 7 years to meet tax and financial-record obligations.
- Analytics data: anonymized at 90 days.
- Verified-event records may be retained to preserve the integrity of the draw history.
8. Security
We use technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including access controls and encryption in transit. Secrets and credentials are never stored in documents and are kept in a dedicated vault. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights & Choices
- Access, correct, delete, or export your information — contact privacy@gelatinbookings.com.
- Marketing opt-out — use the unsubscribe link in emails; transactional messages will still be sent.
- California (CCPA/CPRA): rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of “sale”/“sharing”; we will not discriminate for exercising rights.
- EU/UK (GDPR): rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection; right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
We verify requests before acting and respond within the timeframes required by law.
10. Children's Privacy
The Platform is for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If you believe a child provided information, contact us to delete it.
11. Third-Party Links & Services
The Platform may link to third-party sites and services with their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for them; review their policies.
12. International Users
We operate in the United States. If you access the Platform from outside the U.S., you understand your information may be processed in the U.S. under this Policy.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date and, where appropriate, notified to you.
