Altcore FL is a Florida alt, emo, goth and heavy music page started in Miami by Ceshya Sanchez. This page explains what we collect on altcoreflorida.com, why, and what you can do about it.
- Email list: if you join, we keep your email and anything else you add, and send you one email a week. Unsubscribe from any email.
- Work with us: if you send the form, we use your details to reply to you about your event, band or brand.
- Analytics: Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity show us which pages get visited and how people use them. Neither gets your name or email from us, and Clarity hides what you type into forms.
- We don't sell your information, and we don't share it for advertising.
What we collect
When you join the email list
Your email address. If you fill them in: your first name, the city you go out in and what you're into (emo nights, metal, goth, horror, giveaways). We also note which signup form and page you used.
When you send the Work with us form
Your name, email, what you are (venue, band, promoter, brand and so on) and what you want from us. If you fill them in: your phone number, the event or band, the date, the city, a link and your message.
When you visit the site
Like any website, the servers that deliver these pages see your IP address and basic browser details. Google Analytics also records the pages you view, roughly where you are (city or region, worked out from your IP address), your device and browser, and how you got here. We also record which buttons, event cards, photos and links get clicked, how far down a page people scroll, how long they stay, which sections they see and how fast pages load. For forms, we record that someone started or sent one and the name of the last field they used (for example "email"), never what they typed.
Session recordings (Microsoft Clarity)
Clarity records how visitors move through the site: clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, shown to us as replays and heatmaps so we can spot confusing pages and broken buttons. It hides anything typed into form fields. Like Google Analytics, it also sees your device, browser and rough location.
How we use it
- To send the weekly lineup, giveaway news and show recaps you signed up for.
- To reply to Work with us messages and plan listings, coverage, giveaways or sponsorships with you.
- To see which pages and shows people care about, so we can make the site better.
- To keep the forms working and block spam (for example, we limit how many messages one connection can send in a minute).
Giveaways may have their own rules, posted with each giveaway.
Who else handles it
We use a few services to run the site. They handle your information for us under their own privacy terms:
| Service | What it does for us |
|---|---|
| Kit (kit.com) | Stores the email list and Work with us messages, and sends our emails. |
| Cloudflare | Hosts the site, protects it from abuse and delivers our mail, including an email alert to our team when a Work with us message comes in. |
| Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager | Site visit statistics, as described above. |
| Microsoft Clarity | Session replays and heatmaps of how the site is used, as described above. |
| Google Fonts | Serves the fonts on the site. Your browser asks Google for them, so Google sees your IP address. |
Links to Instagram, TikTok, ticket sellers and other sites take you to those sites, and their privacy policies apply there. We may also share information if the law requires it.
Cookies
Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_ followed by an ID) to tell visits apart and count returning visitors. Microsoft Clarity sets its own cookies (such as _clck and _clsk) for the same reason. After you send the Work with us form, your first name is kept in your browser's session storage so the thank-you page can greet you. It never leaves your device and is cleared when you close the tab.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install Google's Analytics opt-out add-on. The site works the same without them.
Our emails
When you join the list we send one email asking you to confirm. You're only added once you click it. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works straight away. Kit can record whether an email was opened and which links were clicked, which helps us see what people read.
How long we keep it
- Email list: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
- Work with us messages: as long as we're talking or working together, plus a reasonable time after for our records. Ask and we'll delete them sooner.
- Analytics: for the period set in our Google Analytics account, after which Google deletes it. Clarity recordings are kept for the time Microsoft allows, then deleted.
Your choices
Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you what we have about you, fix it or delete it. Email [email protected] from the address you used and we'll reply within 30 days. Unsubscribing from the list is a link in every email.
This site is for people 13 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you think a child has signed up, tell us and we'll delete it.
Contact
Questions about this policy or your information: [email protected].
If we change this policy, we'll update it here and change the date at the top. If the change is big, we'll also say so in our weekly email.
