Privacy & Terms

What By-Stas is
By-Stas helps you discover and keep track of live events — concerts, festivals, shows and more — gathered from public event and ticketing partners into one place.
We do not sell tickets. When you're ready to buy, we link you to the third-party provider that lists the event. Prices, availability, purchases, refunds and the final event details are handled by that provider under their own terms and privacy policies — not by us.
Information we collect
- Your email — to sign you in with a magic link. There are no passwords.
- Your activity — the events you save, mark as going, hide, follow and view, so we can tailor your feed and suggestions.
- Your preferences — such as preferred countries and cities, whether you opted into the email digest, and your theme choice.
- Approximate region — inferred from your IP address only to default the country filter to somewhere relevant. It isn't precise location tracking.
How we use it
- To personalize your feed and the suggestions we surface.
- To send the weekly digest email — only if you opt in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
- To keep the service secure, reliable and working as intended.
We do not sell your personal data, and we don't use it for third-party advertising.
Who we share it with
Ticketing and purchases happen on the providers' own sites under their policies. A small number of processors act on our behalf to run the service — email delivery, error and performance monitoring, and map tiles from OpenStreetMap. They only handle what they need to provide their function.
Your rights and control
- Export everything we hold about you — Settings → Download JSON.
- Delete your account and associated data — Settings.
- Unsubscribe from the digest anytime, from the email or your settings.
We keep the data we hold to the minimum needed to run these features.
Personalized suggestions
To suggest events without tracking you, By-Stas keeps a small interest profile on your own device — a decaying tally of the categories, performers and cities of the pages you open. It contains no name, account or identifier, and we never store it on our servers. When you open For You, that profile is sent once, in the moment, to rank upcoming events; it is used to compute the response and is not logged or retained.
| Tier | Where | Consent | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| This visit | Session storage (your browser) | Functional — active during your visit | Cleared when you close the tab |
| Across visits | Local storage (your browser) | Only if you opt in | Until you clear it or turn it off |
Nothing about your browsing is required to consent to, and because the profile lives only on your device, clearing it removes it completely — there is nothing on our side to erase.
When you sign in, we may ask — once — whether to bring these on-device interests into your account so your feed is useful from the start. Only if you accept do we copy them to your account (the cities you browsed and the performers/categories you looked at, which then fade over time); decline and nothing is transferred. You can always adjust or remove them from your account settings.

Terms of use
By-Stas is provided to help you discover and track events. Event data comes from third parties and may occasionally be incomplete, out of date or incorrect — always confirm the details with the ticketing provider before making plans or a purchase. By signing in you agree to these terms and to the handling of your data described above.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law. We aren't responsible for the accuracy of third-party event data or for anything that happens on a provider's site. This does not affect your statutory consumer rights.
Changes
We may update this statement as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new "last updated" date.
