We do not sell personal information.
3. Analytics and Performance Tools
Victoria.Today uses analytics and performance tools to understand general site usage and improve reliability. These tools may help us understand traffic patterns, page performance, device types, referral sources, and other general usage information.
Analytics data helps us make better decisions about what information to highlight, which features to improve, and how to keep the site fast and usable.
We aim to use analytics in a reasonable and privacy-conscious way. If additional analytics or tracking tools are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated to describe them.

5. Third-Party Links
Victoria.Today includes links to third-party websites, including event organizers, venues, ticketing platforms, source listings, partner websites, and other external resources.
When you click a third-party link, you leave Victoria.Today and are subject to that third party's own terms, privacy policy, and practices. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, accuracy, availability, or security of third-party websites.
Before purchasing tickets, attending an event, or relying on event details, you should verify information directly with the official event organizer, venue, or ticketing provider.

Victoria.Today may display event, venue, and related information gathered from public sources, submitted directly, or provided by third-party platforms.
If you submit an event, correction, or other content, we may use the information you provide to review, edit, publish, update, or manage event listings. We may also contact you if clarification is needed.
Please do not submit personal information that is not necessary for the event listing or request.
7. Email Updates and Communications
If you sign up for email updates, newsletters, or notifications, we may use your email address to send the information you requested.
You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email, if available, or by contacting us directly.
We do not add users to marketing email lists without consent.

These providers may process information on our behalf only as needed to provide their services.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, security, or integrity of Victoria.Today, our users, or others.
We do not sell personal information.
