Analytics
WordPress.com Stats
Data Used: IP address, WordPress.com user ID (if logged in), WordPress.com username (if logged in), user agent, visiting URL, referring URL, timestamp of event, browser language, country code. Important: The site owner does not have access to any of this information via this feature. For example, a site owner can see that a specific post has 285 views, but he/she cannot see which specific users/accounts viewed that post. Stats logs — containing visitor IP addresses and WordPress.com usernames (if available) — are retained by Automattic for 28 days and are used for the sole purpose of powering this feature.
Activity Tracked: Post and page views, outbound link clicks, referring URLs and search engine terms, and country. When this module is enabled, Jetpack also tracks performance on each page load that includes the JavaScript file used for tracking stats. This is exclusively for aggregate performance tracking across Jetpack sites in order to make sure that our plugin and code is not causing performance issues. This includes the tracking of page load times and resource loading duration (image files, JavaScript files, CSS files, etc.). Jetpack ignores the DNT settings of visitors.
The video player on our live site embeds Google Analytics. Google’s privacy policy is here.
Who we share your data with
Open Call
Your description of your work will be shared with reviewers. We endeavour to make this a double-blind process, but recognise that some information, especially video and audio links to past performance of your submitted or related works, makes complete anonymity impossible.
Anonymised statistics may be shared with funding bodies.
Curators may use submitted data in programming work.
If you are selected and agree to perform, your provided information including group name, biography and programme note will be published on the website.
Reviewers
Reviewers can opt-in to anonymously sharing their comments and ratings with the artists they review. This is encouraged, but not required. Your anonymised comments and scores will be shared with curators.
How long we retain your data
Open Call
We will delete your project description and identifiable demographics within one year, but will retain anonymized demographic data indefinitely. We will retain the names and contact information of selected artists indefinitely, to keep an archive of past performances on our website and to contact you about future festivals. For example, we may ask you if you would like to be a reviewer for our next festival.
Reviewers
We will delete your reviews within one year. We will hold your name and email address indefinitely so that we can ask you if you’d like to review again for subsequent festival. In order to ensure diversity of reviewers, we also indefinitely hold information about gender.
