Privacy
This policy covers naptownwail.com and the Naptown Wail iOS app. Both are run by one person in Indianapolis.
You can read every show, band, venue, and presenter without an account. Reading takes no name, no email, and no sign-in.
There are no analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising networks, and no third-party scripts that follow you. Nothing about your visit is sold or shared, because nothing about your visit is collected.
An account does one thing: follow bands, so their shows get flagged in the calendar. Making one is optional.
An account stores exactly this:
- Your username.
- Your password, hashed. The plain password is never written down.
- Your email, only if you type one in. It is optional and can be blank or removed at any time.
- The bands you follow.
- Your show alert preferences.
That is the whole record. No name, no location, no phone number, no contacts, no device identifiers, no payment details.
If you give an email it is used to send show alerts for bands you follow, and for nothing else. It is never sold, rented, shared, or used for marketing. There is no newsletter attached to it.
Signing in sets one cookie. It holds your session so you are not asked to sign in on every visit, it expires after 90 days, and it is used for nothing else. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
Delete your account from the account panel on the site, or from the account sheet in the iOS app. Your account, your email, and every band you follow are deleted immediately from the database. There is no undo and there is no backup copy held back.
The site is hosted on Vercel. Account records are stored in a Neon Postgres database. Both are service providers acting for the register, not audiences for your data. Alert emails, when they are switched on, are sent through Resend.
Show listings, band names, venues, and presenters are public information about public events, compiled by hand and by scraper. If you are in a listing and want it corrected or taken down, write the desk and it will be handled.
The register is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from them.
If this policy changes, the revised version is posted here. Questions, corrections, or a request to see or delete what is on file: email the editor.
