Your data and privacy

Froligo is a directory of US festivals. You can read everything without an account. We collect as little as we need, use it to run and improve the site, never sell it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Last updated 20 October 2026.

Who we are

Froligo (froligo.com) is run from Queensland, Australia. For anything about your data, email [email protected] and a real person will answer.

Analytics and your choice

We use Google Analytics (through Google Tag Manager), Microsoft Clarity and Ahrefs to understand which pages are useful and where people get stuck. Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity use cookies, and Clarity records how a page is used (clicks, scrolling and mouse movement) so we can improve the layout. Ahrefs counts visits without cookies.

These run when you first arrive. When the banner asks, choose I decline and they stop straight away and on every page after, and their cookies are removed. You can change your mind at any time with Privacy choices at the bottom of every page.

We do not show advertising on Froligo today. If we ever add advertising or retargeting tools, they will be named on this page, and declining will switch them off too.

What else we collect, and why

• Security and delivery. The site is served through Cloudflare and hosted on DigitalOcean servers (the web server is in New York). Like any website, our servers see your IP address and browser when you load a page. Server logs are kept for 14 days.
• Personalization. If you save festivals or tell us what you like, that is kept in your browser so we can show you festivals you are more likely to want. You can turn usage personalization off in the For you drawer; your saves still work.
• Festival alerts. If you ask to be emailed when a festival's lineup, dates or ticket prices change, we keep your email address, the festivals you follow and the date you asked, and use them only to send those alerts. Every alert has a one-tap link to stop it. When you stop an alert it leaves our alert list straight away, and our records within 30 days. The one thing we keep is a short dated note of when you started and stopped each alert, and what you agreed to, so we can show that you asked and that you stopped.
• Festivals near you. If you tick "Show me festivals near me", we keep your zip code with your email, only to pick festivals near you for that round-up. It is separate from your alerts, and unticking it deletes the zip.
• Signing in. If you sign in we keep your email address and email you a six-digit code. A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in for up to 60 days. If you choose to add a password, we store it only in one-way scrambled form (hashed), so nobody at Froligo can read it, and we email you when one is added. To delete your account, its alerts and its saved festivals, email [email protected].
• Messages and corrections. If you contact us or tell us a listing is wrong, we keep what you send (your name, email, and phone and website if you give them) so we can reply and fix the listing.
• Questions to our festival assistant. If you use Ask, your question is sent to Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI model, to help write the answer. We keep the question text, without your name, email or IP address, for up to 90 days to improve the answers.

Who helps us run Froligo

These services handle data for us, only to provide their service to us:

• MailerSend: sends our emails (alerts and sign-in links).

Links and embedded content

• Partner links. Some links to hotels, car hire, transfers, tickets and attractions are affiliate links. When you click one, that partner may set its own cookies to record that you came from Froligo, and its own privacy policy applies on its site. See how Froligo makes money.
• Videos and music. YouTube videos load in YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode and only when you press play. Some pages show Spotify players, which load from Spotify.
