How we use your data

Your account

Your email identifies your account. Profile information you choose to save can help you complete later entries. Keep your contact information current so you can receive booking and service messages.

Your event entry

A booking stores the details supplied for that event. The organiser uses relevant participant information to administer the event. Updating your profile does not necessarily change an existing booking; contact the organiser about corrections. Provide another person’s emergency-contact details only after telling them.

Event-specific questions may include dietary or medical information. The organiser should explain why it needs an answer and whether it is required. Do not put sensitive health information in a public review or testimonial.

Your payment

Stripe handles payment checkout. Aventa keeps payment references and status so the entry, fee and any refund can be reconciled. The event organiser is responsible for event delivery and the applicable refund policy.

Your messages and choices

Necessary account, booking and event messages are distinct from promotional marketing. Marketing preferences lets signed-in users stop marketing for the email associated with their account. You can also contact us to object to marketing.

Your public contributions

Approved event reviews can appear on the site. Platform testimonials are submitted separately, reviewed before publication and shown only with publication permission. You can withdraw your own platform testimonial from its submission page.
