Auditors and advisors

We may engage auditors and professional advisers to meet our legal, regulatory and statutory responsibilities. They have contractual arrangements and security mechanisms to protect data and meet our standards of data protection, confidentiality and security.

Third-Party Tracking and Advertising Partners

With organiser approval, BASH uses Facebook (Meta) as a data processor to support retargeting, personalised advertising, and engagement analytics for event pages on our platform. Facebook Pixel collects and uses user interaction data in line with our instructions and strictly for analytics and retargeting purposes requested by event organisers.

Links

Our Services and website may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the content or privacy protection of these websites. We therefore advise you to always read the privacy policy of the website in question.

RSVPs

When RSVP'ing on an event, it is essential to BASH as a social event platform that your name and profile picture are shared on the event to all of the public. Because this is essential, there is an "opt-out" option when purchasing a ticket. Therefore, this sharing of personal data falls under a legitimate interest justification as laid out in the GDPR.

  • you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, if you think we are processing your Personal Data unlawfully;
  • you can withdraw your consent to process your Personal Data at any time. From the moment you withdraw your consent, we may no longer process your Personal Data.
  1. Cookies and Pixels

A cookie is a small text file that can be sent via the server of a website to the browser. The browser saves this file to your computer. Your computer is tagged with a unique number, which enables our site to recognize that computer in the future.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as pixels, to enhance user experience and provide organisers with insights on user engagement. Pixels like the Facebook Pixel track specific user interactions on certain event pages, allowing organisers to reach interested audiences with relevant content. You can manage your preferences for cookies and pixels via our app or browser settings.

You can always delete or disable cookies yourself via the browser settings. No more cookies will be stored when you visit our App. However, please note that without cookies, our App may not function as well as it should.

  1. Consent for Tracking Technologies

For event pages that use tracking technologies like the Facebook Pixel, users will be prompted to consent to data collection and tracking for analytics and marketing purposes. This consent can be managed or withdrawn at any time through browser privacy settings.

Third-Party Tools and Pixels on Event Pages

Certain event pages may include third-party tracking tools, such as the Facebook Pixel, implemented at the organiser's request. These tools help organisers understand audience engagement on BASH and provide personalised content.
