Privacy Policy

1. Overview

TRANCE NEXUS (“this site”) is a fan-made trance music information portal providing artist profiles, radio show schedules, setlists, and event information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected through your use of the site.

2. Cookies & Advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Cookies set by Google AdSense may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and device identifiers. This information is used by Google to serve relevant advertisements and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

For a full breakdown of every cookie type the site uses (essential, analytics, advertising, and affiliate), the third parties involved, and how to manage them in your browser, see our dedicated Cookie Policy.

3. Affiliate Links

This site participates in affiliate programmes and may earn a commission when you click certain links and make a purchase or sign up. Current affiliate networks include:

• Impact — Beatport and other music services
• Awin — Resident Advisor ticketing

Affiliate links are tracked via cookies placed by these networks. No personally identifiable information is shared with us as a result of your clicks.

4. Access Analytics

This site may use Google Analytics to analyse site traffic and improve content. Google Analytics collects anonymised data such as page views, session duration, and referral sources via cookies. This data does not identify you personally and is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Personal Information

This site does not operate user registration, login, or purchase functionality, and therefore does not directly collect personally identifiable information such as names, addresses, or payment details. Any personal data processed by third-party services (Google, Impact, Awin) is governed by their respective privacy policies.

5a. Newsletter

When you submit your email address through any of the newsletter signup forms on this site, that address is sent to our email-delivery provider (currently Buttondown, with the option to migrate to Mailchimp or another EU-aware provider in future). The address is stored to send you the monthly TRANCE NEXUS digest only — we do not sell, rent, or share newsletter subscriber addresses with any third party.

Optional fields submitted alongside the email — your preferred language and any subgenre interests you check — are used solely to tag your subscription so we can send you content that matches your preferences.

Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR): consent. You give consent by checking the “I have read the Privacy Policy and consent” box before submitting the form. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, which immediately removes your address from the mailing list.

Your rights: you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your subscriber data at any time by emailing us at hello.sacredjapan@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

6. Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to outside parties except as described in this policy (i.e., through the third-party services listed above). Each third party operates under its own privacy policy and security standards.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
