Last updated: 21 October 2025
Welcome to the official website of Evading Solaris (www.evadingsolaris.co.uk). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what we collect, why, and how you can manage your information.
1. Scope
This policy applies to our website www.evadingsolaris.co.uk and to personal data you provide to us via the website (for example, using our booking enquiry form).
2. Information we collect
(a) Information you provide directly
When you use our booking enquiry form we collect:
- Name
- Email address
- Venue name (optional)
- Message / booking enquiry details
This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and organise potential bookings.
(b) Information collected automatically
When you visit our site, certain technical data is collected automatically by third-party services we use (see section 4). This includes aggregated website usage statistics (page views, session durations) and interaction with embedded media.
3. Cookies & tracking technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Tool / Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Essential website functionality | Site platform | Required for the site to function correctly. These cookies are necessary and cannot be disabled via the cookie banner. |
| Analytics | Google Analytics | Collects aggregated usage data to help us improve the site and SEO. Non-essential: only used after you give consent. |
| Embedded media | YouTube embeds | When you play embedded videos, YouTube may set cookies and collect usage data. Non-essential: only used after you give consent. |
We use a cookie consent banner (e.g. via vanilla-cookieconsent) to gather your consent for non-essential cookies. You can manage or withdraw consent at any time using that banner or the “Manage cookies” option on the website.
4. Third-party services we use
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited) to generate anonymised statistics about website traffic. Google may process information such as your IP address; we use available configuration to anonymise IPs where possible and we only enable analytics after you give consent via the cookie banner.
More information: Google Privacy Policy.
If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics tracking in your browser you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
YouTube
We embed videos from our official YouTube channel. When you play these videos, YouTube (Google) may place cookies, collect usage statistics and personalise content. Embedded media is treated as non-essential and will only be loaded fully after you give consent.
More information: YouTube / Google Privacy Policy.
5. How we use your personal data
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Booking form: name, email, message | To respond to enquiries and coordinate bookings | Legitimate interests – responding to messages you send us |
| Google Analytics / YouTube data | Website performance, analytics, and media playback | Consent (you must opt in for non-essential cookies) |
6. Data retention
Booking enquiries: details are kept only as long as necessary to respond to and resolve the enquiry. After a conversation has finished we will delete the message content from our email account unless retention is needed for a legitimate administrative or legal reason.
Analytics & media cookies: retention is controlled by the third party (e.g. Google) according to their policies.
7. Sharing your data
We do not sell or rent personal data. Booking enquiry details are shared only within the band management and any designated manager who needs the information to respond. We may disclose personal data if required by law.
8. International transfers
