Privacy Policy
How we handle your data at the Beccles Beer Festival
Data We Collect
We only store session data to facilitate the beer ratings and tasting notes feature on this website. All user data collected is completely anonymous.
No personal information, email addresses, or identifying details are collected or stored.
How We Use Your Data
- Session data enables you to rate beers and add tasting notes during your visit
- Anonymous ratings help other festival visitors discover popular beers
- Your session data is automatically cleared at the end of the festival
Data Sharing
Ratings and tasting notes may be shared with third parties, including the originating breweries. This helps breweries understand how their beers are received at the festival.
Important: All shared data remains completely anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual users.
Your Choices
If you do not wish to use this digital service, you can use the paper programme instead. The paper programme provides all the same beer information without any data collection.
You can also choose not to rate beers or add tasting notes while still browsing the beer list.
Cookies
We use essential cookies to maintain your session and improve your experience on our site. These cookies are necessary for the rating system to function properly and are automatically deleted at the end of the festival.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy, please speak to a festival volunteer.
