Goyo Club ("goyo," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have, when you visit goyo.club or shop at goyoclub.shop (together, the "Site").
By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide Directly
We collect information you submit through our Contact form. The fields collected depend on what you're reaching out about:
- All inquiries: email address, name.
- General inquiries: subject, message.
- Brand / client / booking inquiries: company or brand name, Instagram or website, service type, project description, timeline.
- Artist submissions (Finding Records series): music links, an original song you'd like to perform (optional), live performance video links, best way to contact you (optional), Instagram, whether you're based in LA.
- Artist submissions (Electric Cleaners series): set/mix links, DJ experience (optional), best way to contact you (optional), Instagram, whether you're based in LA.
- Artist submissions (Neon Collection series): your role (musician, director, or both), music or video links, Instagram, whether you're based in LA.
- Newsletter / mailing list sign-up (separate subscribe form): email address, name, a phone number (optional), and an explicit marketing consent selection — we only add you to our mailing list if you affirmatively opt in through that field. If you give us a phone number, we store it with your sign-up and save it to your contact record in our mailing list provider (Mailchimp) as a phone number field.
We do not require a password or account to use the Site, and we do not operate a membership/login system.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, our hosting and analytics providers automatically collect standard technical information: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring page, and approximate timestamp of your visit. This is typical web server log data used to operate and secure the Site.
If we've configured Google Analytics (GA4) for the Site, it may collect aggregate usage statistics as well — see §1.4.
1.3 Information Related to Purchases
Our online shop (goyoclub.shop) is powered by Shopify. When you add items to your cart on the Site, that cart (product selections and quantities only, no personal information) is stored locally in your browser and is not sent to us. When you proceed to checkout, you are transacting directly with Shopify's checkout system — Shopify collects and processes your name, shipping/billing address, email, and payment details as the payment processor and merchant platform. Shopify's own privacy policy (shopify.com/legal/privacy) governs that data. Goyo Club receives order and customer information back from Shopify as the store owner in order to fulfill your order and provide customer support.
1.4 Cookies and Local Storage
- Cart: Your shopping cart selections are stored in your browser's local storage, not a cookie, and never leave your device unless you complete checkout.
- Functional session storage: We keep a few short-lived values in your browser's session storage so the Site behaves sensibly as you move around it: whether you've already been shown the intro video this session, where you left off in that video, and which page you came from (so the Back button returns you there). These are not advertising identifiers, are never sent to us or to anyone else, and are cleared when you close the tab.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4): GA4 is only loaded on the Site if we have configured a measurement ID. As of this policy's effective date, it is loaded in Google's Consent Mode v2 with every consent signal (ad storage, analytics storage, ad personalization, ad user data) defaulted to denied — meaning GA4 currently runs cookieless and does not set identifying cookies.
- Vercel Web Analytics: cookieless page-view analytics run by our host on our behalf. It counts visits and page views in aggregate; it does not set a cookie or use a cross-site identifier to follow you between sites.
- Vercel Speed Insights: page performance measurements (Web Vitals — load speed, responsiveness, visual stability) collected so we can keep the Site fast. Performance data only, not tied to your identity.
- Bot protection (Vercel BotID): runs behavioral checks on form submissions to block spam/automated abuse. It does not build an advertising profile of you.
- Embedded video (YouTube): Archive videos are embedded through YouTube's privacy-enhanced (no-cookie) player, which does not set tracking cookies before you press play. Loading a page that contains an embed still reveals your IP address and browser to Google/YouTube, and once you start playback YouTube may store playback data under its own privacy policy — see §9.
We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not currently operate a cookie-consent banner because we do not set tracking cookies by default.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to inquiries, bookings, and artist submissions you send us.
- Operate, secure, and improve the Site.
- Send you marketing/newsletter communications, but only if you've opted in via the subscription consent field.
- Fulfill and support orders placed through goyoclub.shop (in conjunction with Shopify).
- Understand aggregate Site usage (analytics) when enabled.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers who help us run the Site, each acting on our behalf for the purpose listed:
| Provider | Purpose | Data Involved |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. | Website hosting, edge delivery, cookieless Web Analytics, Speed Insights (Web Vitals), and storage of Contact and sign-up form submissions at rest | IP address, request logs, aggregate usage and performance data, the contents of forms you submit |
| Google LLC (Google Fonts, Google Analytics, YouTube) | Web font delivery; optional usage analytics; embedded video playback and video thumbnail delivery | IP address (font, video, and thumbnail requests), cookieless usage data (analytics), playback data if you press play on an embedded video |
| Bunny (BunnyWay d.o.o.) | Video/image content delivery (CDN) | IP address (delivery only) |
| Resident Advisor Ltd. | Event poster image delivery on our events pages — posters load directly from RA | IP address (delivery only) |
| Shopify Inc. | Online store, checkout, payment processing, order fulfillment; product image delivery from Shopify's CDN while you browse the shop | Name, contact info, shipping/billing address, payment details (at checkout); IP address (image delivery while browsing) |
| Resend | Delivery of email notifications when you submit the Contact form | Contact form submission (name, email, message content) |
| Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.) | Newsletter/mailing list delivery — only for contacts who opt in | Email address, name (if provided), phone number (if provided), consent status |
| HYPT Inc. (하잎트) | Website development and technical maintenance on our behalf | Access to the systems above as our service provider |
Some of the rows above — YouTube video and thumbnails, Shopify product images, Resident Advisor event posters, and Bunny video — see your IP address simply because your browser requests those images and videos directly from them as a page loads. We are not sending them anything about you; that's how the media reaches your screen.
We do not permit these providers to use your information for their own independent marketing purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer (e.g., merger or acquisition), in which case this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information.
4. International Data Transfers
Several of our service providers (Vercel, Google, Mailchimp, Shopify) process data on servers located in the United States and, in Bunny's case, may process data via infrastructure located outside the United States (e.g., the EU). By using the Site, you understand your information may be processed in these locations.
5. Data Retention
- Contact form submissions are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and document your inquiry, and are periodically reviewed for deletion.
- Newsletter contacts are retained until you unsubscribe or we delete the list.
- Automatically collected server/analytics logs are retained per each provider's standard retention window (typically a matter of months) and are not indefinitely archived by us.
- Order and payment information is retained by Shopify per its own retention practices.
6. Your Choices and Rights
- Marketing emails: every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link; you can also email us at info@goyo.club to be removed.
- Access, correction, or deletion: you can request a copy, correction, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by emailing us at info@goyo.club. We will respond within a reasonable time.
- Browser controls: you can block or clear local storage/cookies in your browser settings at any time; this may disable cart persistence but will not affect your ability to browse the Site.
- Orders: for anything related to a Shopify order (refunds, address changes, payment issues), contact us directly and we'll coordinate with Shopify on your behalf.
7. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to:
- Know what categories of personal information we've collected about you and why.
- Request deletion of personal information we hold about you, subject to certain exceptions.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of today.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@goyo.club. You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.
8. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children, and our events are 21-and-over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 (or under 16, for California purposes). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at info@goyo.club and we will delete it.
9. Third-Party Links
Our Site links out to third-party platforms we don't control, including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Resident Advisor, Spotify, and Apple Music (via artist profiles and our footer). We embed YouTube videos throughout our archive using YouTube's privacy-enhanced (no-cookie) player, so no tracking cookies are set before you press play — once you start playback, whatever YouTube/Google stores is governed by their own privacy policy, independent of this one. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site you reach through our links.
10. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect the information we hold, including encrypted transport (HTTPS) for all Site traffic and access controls on the systems and providers listed in §3. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
