Policies and Legal Stuff

The rough print and the fine print


Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 10, 2023

MALRO is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected. By using or accessing MALRO, you agree to the terms. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use MALRO.

Information We Collect

MALRO may collect analytics data about your use of the website/app, such as the duration of your sessions and the cultural events you look after. We use a GDPR-compliant tool to do so.

How We Use Your Information

The analytics data we collect is used to improve the website/app and your overall experience. We may also use it to identify and fix bugs or other issues.

Data Protection

MALRO does not collect any personally identifiable information except email for some users (cultural operators). All data is collected and stored in a secure manner, and we take appropriate measures to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Changes to this Policy

MALRO reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes via the website/app or other means, and your continued use of the website/app after such notification constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.


Until the End of the Internet

Last updated: September 10, 2023

Internet services disappear all the time. It’s become a risky venture to place trust and data in services that could disappear at any moment, for any reason, and with no guarantee that data will be safe, preserved, or even portable. We want more for Arts & Culture.

We’re dedicated to supporting MALRO forever or until the last user turns off the lights.
