Who runs ActsNearMe

ActsNearMe is run by Paul Lambert, Sheffield. Contact: hello@actsnearme.co.uk.

Acts who list themselves

We hold the details you type in, the photos you upload and your private email address. Your private email is never shown. Contact details you choose to show bookers (website, phone, email, social links) appear on your listing.

Unclaimed listings

To help bookers find local entertainment, we list some acts using only details they publish on their own public website. That's the act's name, type of act, the town or area they say they cover, and a link to their website. For these listings we don't collect email addresses, phone numbers, photos or descriptions, and we don't send them marketing. We only do this for acts that trade under an act, stage or business name.

Why we hold it

We rely on legitimate interests: running a free directory that helps people find local entertainers and helps acts get found. We've written down why we think this is fair to the acts listed, and we keep listings to the minimum.

Your choices

Any act can remove an unclaimed listing straight away with the "Remove this listing" option on its page, and it won't be added again. Acts who manage their listing can delete it from their manage page. You can also email us to remove, correct or get a copy of what we hold. We act on removal requests the same day.

Bookers, reviewers and noticeboard posts

If you leave a review, your first name and town are shown with it. Noticeboard posts show the name, town and reply details you give. We don't use cookies for tracking. To count badge visits fairly, we keep a one-way scrambled code made from the visitor's internet address for one day, then delete it.

Visitor counts

To see how the site is used, we count page visits, searches and clicks through to an act's contact details. For each one we record the page, the site you came from (for example Google), the type of device and your approximate town, which comes from your internet provider. We don't use cookies and we don't store names or internet addresses. A scrambled code that changes every day lets us count each visitor once a day without knowing who they are. These counts are deleted after 13 months.

How long we keep it

Listings stay until they're removed. Noticeboard posts come down after 60 days.
