Who we are
NEXT ROUND is an independent Birmingham gaming tournament series. For questions about this notice or your personal data, email info@nextroundseries.co.uk.
What we collect
When you join the launch list, we collect your email address, whether you are interested in competing or spectating, how you heard about us and any campaign or referral code attached to the link you used. We also record confirmation-email sending status and use a short-lived, hashed network identifier to limit automated submissions. If you accept analytics, we collect information about the pages you visit, your approximate location, device and browser type, referral source and selected website interactions. We do not send your sign-up email address to Google Analytics.
How we use it
We use this information to send event announcements and ticket updates, manage competitor and spectator interest, plan event capacity, understand which campaigns and pages work and build future NEXT ROUND events.
Our legal basis
We rely on your consent to send marketing and event updates and to use optional analytics cookies. You can withdraw marketing consent using an unsubscribe link or by emailing us, and change analytics consent at any time through the Cookie settings control on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before your request.
How long we keep it
We keep launch-list information until you unsubscribe or for a maximum of 24 months after your last interaction with NEXT ROUND, unless we need to retain a limited record to meet a legal obligation.
Who receives it
We may use trusted website, email, analytics and ticketing providers to run NEXT ROUND. We use Resend to send sign-up confirmation emails, sharing your email address and the email content with that provider. With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure website usage. These providers may process information only for the service they provide to us. We do not sell your personal information.
Tickets and payments
When tickets go on sale, the selected ticket provider will process booking and payment information under its own privacy notice. We will identify that provider before you are asked to pay.
Your rights
Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to the use of your information, and to receive a copy in a portable format. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Cookies
Google Analytics is disabled until you select Accept analytics. If accepted, Google Analytics may set cookies including _ga and _ga_* to distinguish visits and understand website use. Advertising signals and ad-personalisation signals are disabled. You can reject analytics initially or withdraw consent later through the Cookie settings control, which also removes accessible Google Analytics cookies from your browser.
Age restriction
NEXT ROUND 001 is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect launch-list information from children.
