Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 08/27/26 Last Updated: 08/27/26

Fouraco Collective ("we," "us," or "our") manages our official platform (the "Site"). This policy details how we gather, utilize, share, and protect your data when you visit our Site, subscribe to updates, contact our team, purchase tickets or merchandise, or engage with us in other ways.

By accessing the Site, you consent to the data collection and usage practices defined in this policy.
We serve a global community across the United States, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Asia—specifically including Vietnam. Accordingly, this document addresses rights under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Vietnam's Law on Personal Data Protection (PDPL), and various regional privacy frameworks alongside U.S. law.

- Accounts & Interactions: Creating a profile or leaving comments involves collecting your username, email, encrypted password, and any public content you share.
- Commerce Transactions: For ticket or gear purchases, we or our payment partners collect your billing/shipping details and payment info. We do not store full credit card numbers directly; third-party processors like Stripe or PayPal handle these transactions under their specific privacy terms.

b. Automated Data Collection

Your data may be moved and stored outside your home country, including the United States. For EEA/UK transfers, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). For Vietnamese users, we take measures to meet PDPL cross-border transfer standards, including Transfer Impact Assessments (TIA) where applicable.
