Privacy Policy
Last updated October 31, 2026
This policy covers the Charleston Urbanite website, a local events guide for Charleston, operated by Events Pro (PLECCO Technologies, Inc.). It does not cover the sites you link out to (organizers, venues, ticketing sites), which have their own policies.
The short version
You can browse Charleston Urbanite without an account. This site uses Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel, which set cookies and send data to Google and Meta for analytics and ads. You can opt out (see Your choices), and we honor the Global Privacy Control signal. We don't sell your email address or other contact details.
Cookies and tracking
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-PS9LSNYJC1) and the Meta Pixel (ID 1841200270637731). They set the cookies _ga, _ga_PS9LSNYJC1 and _fbp (and _fbc if you arrive from a Meta ad) and send Google and Meta the pages you view, links you click, the page address including campaign tags, your IP address and your browser and device details. Google uses this for analytics and, where linked to its advertising features, for ads; Meta uses it to measure and optimize ads and may match it to your Facebook or Instagram account. Under some US state privacy laws this can count as a "sale" or "sharing" of data for advertising. They are on by default and you can opt out below. Google and Meta handle the data under their own privacy policies.
What we collect
Apart from the tracking above, we collect only what you choose to give us: if you sign up for our email list we collect your email address, your first name and interests if you add them, the page you signed up on, and the IP address and browser details of the signup, as proof of consent. Like any website, the servers that deliver the pages automatically record standard technical logs: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested and your browser and device type. We use these to keep the site running, secure it and fix problems, and we keep them only as long as needed for that.
Our email list
If you sign up, we send you a confirmation email first and add you to the list only after you click it. We then send a weekly email of this guide's picks and occasional heads-ups about new events. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately. We don't sell or rent the list. We use an email delivery provider to send the messages on our behalf.
Listing an event or emailing us
The "List your event free" button takes you to the Events Pro platform at eventspro.plecco.net. Anything you submit there is covered by the Events Pro Privacy Policy on that site, not this one. If you email hello@geteventspro.com, we keep the message and your address to answer you and to record corrections and removals.
Links to other sites
When you click through to an organizer's, venue's or ticketing site, their site collects whatever it collects, under its own policy. That includes everything that happens when you buy a ticket.
Who we share with
We don't sell your email address or contact details. Google and Meta receive the browsing data described under Cookies and tracking. Our hosting and infrastructure providers handle server logs on our behalf. We may disclose information if the law requires it or to protect the site and its users.
Your choices
Tracking: use the Opt out button in the cookie notice or in the Your tracking choice section at the bottom of this page. If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel do not load. You can also block cookies in your browser settings. To ask what we hold about you or to ask us to delete it, email hello@geteventspro.com.
Children
Charleston Urbanite is a general-audience events guide and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If we add or change any tracking tool, we will update this policy first. The "last updated" date shows the latest version.
