Privacy notice
Last updated: 11 November 2026
This notice explains what personal information we collect when you visit bandfront.com, join the waitlist or pay a founding member deposit, why we collect it, and what your rights are. We've tried to keep it short and in plain English.
Who we are
Bandfront is a trading name of UK Pub Partner, which also runs UK Musicians Network. UK Pub Partner is the data controller for the information described here. You can contact us about anything in this notice at hello@bandfront.com.
What we collect
- Waitlist sign-ups: your name, email address, act or band name (if you give it), your answers to our three survey questions, and the page or campaign link that brought you to us.
- Founding member deposits: your name, email address, act or band name (if you give it) and a record of your £1 payment. Card details are entered on Stripe's secure checkout and are never seen or stored by us.
- Emails from us: whether you open our emails or click links in them, so we can tell what's useful.
- Technical information: basic information your browser sends when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and approximate country. Our hosting provider uses this to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Why we use it, and our lawful basis
| What we do | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Email you about Bandfront's launch after you join the waitlist | Consent, which you give when you sign up. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing. |
| Use your survey answers to decide what to build | Legitimate interests in building a product musicians actually want |
| Take and record your deposit, apply it at launch, and refund it if asked or if we don't launch by 31 January 2027 | Contract (our deposit terms) |
| Keep payment records | Legal obligation (tax and accounting) |
| Keep the site secure and stop spam sign-ups | Legitimate interests |
Who we share it with
We don't sell your information. We use a small number of trusted service providers who process it on our behalf:
- Cloudflare hosts this website and the database that stores waitlist sign-ups.
- Stripe processes deposit payments.
- Gist (GetGist) is the email platform we use to send you updates.
- Google Fonts delivers one of the typefaces on this site, which means your browser connects to Google when the page loads.
Some of these providers process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is covered by UK adequacy regulations or by appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep it
- Waitlist details: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, or 24 months after Bandfront launches if you haven't become a customer, whichever is sooner.
- Payment and refund records: six years after the end of the financial year they relate to, as required for tax purposes.
Cookies
This holding page doesn't set any advertising or tracking cookies. Stripe sets cookies on its own checkout pages that are needed to process payments safely and prevent fraud.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- ask us to correct anything that's wrong
- ask us to delete your information
- object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
- ask for your information in a portable format
- withdraw your consent to emails at any time, using the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us
To use any of these rights, email hello@bandfront.com. We'll reply within one month.
Complaints
If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes to this notice
If we change this notice, we'll update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll tell you by email.
