Last Updated: August 2026

1. Introduction The Humble Artist Foundation (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. We are a Florida-based non-profit organization (501(c)(3) status pending) dedicated to supporting underground electronic artists. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, make a general donation, register for an event, or enter our charity sweepstakes.

2. Information We Collect We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to provide our services, process donations, and legally administer our sweepstakes. This may include:

  • Contact Information: First and last name, email address, phone number, and mailing address (specifically required for Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) mail-in sweepstakes entries).
  • Event Information: DJ aliases, social media handles, and performance details if you register for our Open Decks or community events.
  • Transaction Data: While we track donation amounts and entry tiers to award sweepstakes entries, we do not directly collect or store your financial information. All financial transactions are securely processed and encrypted by third-party payment gateways (such as Venmo and CashApp).

3. How We Use Your Information We use the information we collect for the following legitimate organizational purposes:

  • Sweepstakes Administration: To log your entries, verify your eligibility, select winners, and notify you if you win a prize.
  • Processing Donations: To verify charitable contributions and issue necessary receipts.
  • Community Events: To organize event lineups, coordinate artist slots, and manage venue capacity.
  • Communication: To send you event drops, artist calls, monthly newsletters, and updates regarding our foundation (you may opt out of marketing emails at any time).
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with Florida state regulations, federal sweepstakes laws, and IRS reporting requirements.

4. Sharing Your Information The Humble Artist Foundation does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party marketers. We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share necessary data with trusted third-party platforms that assist us in operating our website, managing our email newsletter, and processing donations (e.g., Venmo, CashApp).
  • Legal & Regulatory Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, state sweepstakes registration requirements, or IRS audits.

5. Data Security We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, please understand that no data transmission over the internet or digital storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

6. Your Rights and Choices You have the right to:

  • Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from our newsletter or promotional emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of our emails.
  • Update Information: Request corrections to your contact information by emailing us directly.
  • Sweepstakes Entry: You always retain the right to withhold personal information; however, failure to provide required contact information (such as an email or mailing address) may render you ineligible to enter or win our sweepstakes.

7. Third-Party Links Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services (such as ticketing platforms or sponsor websites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

8. Changes to This Policy We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or organizational growth. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
