Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Didn't That Hurt ("DTH", "we", "us") operates this website as a community resource for local live music — shows, artists, venues, and scene coverage. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

• Account information. When you sign in, we store your name, email address, display name, and any profile details you choose to add.
• Content you submit. Shows, artist and venue profiles, messages, message board posts, photos, and votes you contribute.
• Usage data. Pages viewed, general activity timestamps, and anonymous visit counts, used to understand what the community finds useful.
• Device and log data. Standard information your browser sends, such as browser type and approximate region.

How We Use Information

We use your information to operate and improve the site, display the shows and profiles you request, deliver notifications you opt into, keep the community safe, and measure overall site performance. We do not sell your personal information.
