Privacy Policy
Redline Manager (redlinemanager.com) and Redline Booking (redlinebooking.com)
Last updated: 11 November 2026
This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it and what your rights are. Redline Manager and Redline Booking are in development and nothing is on sale yet. This policy covers what our websites and team do today, and the features we plan to launch.
1. Who we are
The controller of your personal data is Felipe Petersmann, trading as Redline Manager, the founder of Redline Manager and Redline Booking ("we", "us"). We are preparing to set up a company in England and Wales to run the business. When it is formed, it will take over this role and the data collected so far, for the same purposes, and we will tell you.
For any privacy question or request, email hello@redlinemanager.com.
2. Whose data this covers
- DJs who join a waitlist or email list, fill in our feedback form, or set up a DJ profile.
- People who want to book a DJ and join the Redline Booking waitlist, or set up a client profile.
- People who apply to be a City Manager.
- DJs we contact to invite them to try the product, and anyone who writes to us.
- People whose details appear in a booking email a DJ forwards to us (for example bookers or venues).
- Visitors to our websites.
3. What we collect
| What | Details | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Waitlist and email signup | Your name or DJ name and email address. On Redline Booking also your city, the type of occasion (if you plan to book a DJ), or a link to your SoundCloud or Instagram (if you are a DJ). We also record which site and page you signed up on and the page that referred you. | You |
| City Manager applications | Name, email, city and your answer to "Why you" | You |
| Feedback form | Your answers, including any comments you write, and which questions you skipped. If you arrived from an invitation link, a short one-way code derived from your email address (a "hash"), so we can match your answers to your invitation without storing the email address with them. | You |
| Instagram handle (optional) | Your Instagram handle, if you choose to give it. We collect it on the Redline Manager waitlist join forms, the "Initial thoughts" feedback form, and (once it opens) when you set up a DJ profile. A handle is only shown on a public DJ profile if you choose to show it there. | You |
| Phone number (optional) | Your phone number, with country code, if you choose to give it. We collect it when you set up a DJ profile on Redline Manager (once that opens) and on client profiles on Redline Booking. | You |
| Launch codes | The launch discount codes we issue to you (5% each for joining the waitlist, completing the feedback form and building a DJ profile; only one code can be used, and they do not combine with each other or with the founder price; people who completed the earlier version of the feedback form keep a 10% feedback code) and whether they have been used | Created by us |
| Messages | Emails and messages you send us, including booking emails you forward to hello@redlinemanager.com, and our replies. Forwarded booking emails may contain other people's details (for example bookers or venues). | You |
| Public contact details | If we invite you to try the product: your DJ name, public profile links and the booking contact details you publish (for example on SoundCloud, Instagram or your website) | Public sources |
| Technical data | IP address, browser and device details, and the pages requested, kept in our host's server logs. Our forms also store a shortened, one-way code derived from your IP address (not the IP address itself) to block spam and repeated submissions. | Your device |
We do not ask for sensitive information (such as health, religion or sexual orientation). Please do not include it in comments. Our services are not intended for anyone under 18, and we delete data if we learn it belongs to a child.
4. Why we use your data, and our legal basis
| Purpose | Legal basis (UK GDPR and EU GDPR, art. 6) |
|---|---|
| Sending early-access updates about the product you signed up for, and issuing your 5% waitlist code | Your consent when you sign up. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link or by emailing us. |
| Using feedback answers to decide what we build, and issuing your 5% feedback code (10% if you completed the earlier version of the form) | Our legitimate interests in improving the product, and keeping the promise we made to you |
| Once DJ profiles open: setting up your DJ profile, and issuing your 5% profile code | Steps you ask us to take before a possible agreement, and our legitimate interests in running the launch offer |
| Contacting you about bookings, using the phone number or Instagram handle you have given us | Steps you ask us to take before an agreement, or performing our agreement with you |
| Contacting you about the beta and checking who is interested, using the phone number or Instagram handle you have given us | Our legitimate interests. You can object at any time (section 10). |
| Reviewing City Manager applications and contacting you about the role | Steps you asked us to take before a possible agreement, and our legitimate interests |
| Inviting DJs to try the product, using publicly listed booking contact details | Our legitimate interests in introducing the product, or your consent where the law requires it. Every invitation lets you opt out, and we keep a do-not-contact list so we do not contact you again. |
| Replying to your messages and support requests | Our legitimate interests in answering you |
| Using booking emails you forward to us, which may include other people's details (for example bookers or venues), only to manage that booking for you | Our legitimate interests in helping you with the booking |
| Keeping our sites secure and blocking spam | Our legitimate interests |
| Meeting legal obligations and dealing with legal claims | Legal obligation and our legitimate interests |
We will not use your phone number or Instagram handle for marketing calls, texts or messages unless you have agreed to that. You can remove either from your profile or ask us to delete it at any time.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have weighed them against your rights, and you can object at any time (section 10). We do not sell personal data and do not use it for advertising.
5. How your messages are handled
Today. While we are at this early, pre-funding stage, messages to and from DJs are handled by our outreach and customer support team using AI tools. This includes invitations, follow-ups, questions and support requests. The team uses a third-party AI assistant platform, with AI model providers. The tools can read the messages you send us and our earlier conversation with you, and they help draft or send replies. Our founder supervises this work, reviews conversations, and handles anything the tools cannot. Messages we send on your behalf show the sender as "Red from Redline Manager for [your DJ name]". You can ask for a human at any time by replying "human" or emailing hello@redlinemanager.com.
You can forward booking emails to hello@redlinemanager.com. Those emails may contain other people's details, such as bookers or venues. We use them only to manage that booking for you. Our legal basis is our legitimate interests in helping you with the booking. We keep them for the same time as your account data (section 8).
The tools do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you. A person reviews anything of that kind. They will never ask for your passwords or card details. We do not use your messages to train AI models.
After funding. When the business receives its first funding (a founder loan or an outside investment), we expect to change how we communicate with you. For example, we may move to different messaging, help-desk, email or AI providers, use our own systems, or add human support staff. Before any change applies to your data, we will update this policy and tell you by email, or in the channel you use with us, and we will ask for your consent where it is needed.
6. Who we share data with
We use these service providers. They process data on our instructions and under contracts that protect it:
| Provider | What they do | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. | Hosts our websites and form handling, and keeps server logs | USA and global edge network |
| Neon Inc. | Database that stores waitlist, City Manager and feedback form submissions, launch codes, optional Instagram handles and phone numbers, and (once profiles open) profile data | Cloud hosting (see section 7) |
| Google (Google Workspace / Gmail) | Sends and receives our email, including booking emails you forward to us | USA and EU |
| Our AI assistant platform and the AI model providers it uses | Provide the AI tools used by our outreach and customer support team (section 5) | USA |
Your phone number is visible only to you and to signed-in members of the Redline team. It is never shown publicly. Your Instagram handle is only shown on a public DJ profile if you choose to show it there.
When we launch these features, we will add the following providers and update this policy before they are used:
- WhatsApp alerts, through the official WhatsApp Business Platform run by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. These are sent only if you opt in, and you can stop them at any time by replying STOP. We do not use SMS. We will not contact you on WhatsApp before funding.
- Calendar alerts, through the calendar provider you connect.
- Payments, through a payment provider. We will never hold your full card details ourselves.
- Apple Wallet passes for launch codes, if you choose to add one.
We may also share data with professional advisers, with authorities where the law requires it, and, in confidence, with a buyer or investor as part of a sale or funding of the business.
7. International transfers
We serve people in the UK, the EU and Switzerland. Some of our providers process data in the United States or elsewhere. When data leaves the UK, the EEA or Switzerland, we rely on recognised safeguards. These are adequacy decisions (including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, its UK extension and the Swiss-US framework, where the provider is certified) or standard contractual clauses approved for the UK, the EU and Switzerland. You can ask us for a copy.
8. How long we keep data
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Waitlist and email signup | Until you unsubscribe, or 24 months after we launch if you do not become a customer |
| City Manager applications | 24 months from your application, unless you become a City Manager |
| Feedback answers | 24 months from submission, then deleted or made fully anonymous |
| Launch code records | Until the code expires, plus 12 months |
| Instagram handle and phone number | Kept as long as the related waitlist entry, feedback response or account is kept, under the existing retention rules in this policy, and deleted promptly when you remove it or ask us to |
| Forwarded booking emails | For the same time as your account data, or, if you do not yet have an account, for the same time as messages with us |
| Messages with us and our AI tools | 12 months after the conversation ends |
| Do-not-contact list | As long as needed to respect your request |
| Server logs | As set by our hosting provider, normally up to 90 days |
9. Cookies and similar technologies
Our sites do not use advertising or analytics cookies, and they do not load third-party trackers. We use your browser's storage only for things you ask for:
- Session storage, to remember that you have seen or used the waitlist pop-up. It is cleared when you close the tab.
- Local storage, to save your progress on the feedback form so you can come back to it. It is cleared when you finish the form, or when you clear your browser data.
These are strictly necessary for what you have asked for, so we do not ask for cookie consent. If we ever add analytics, we will update this section and ask for consent where required.
10. Your rights
You have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- restrict how we use it;
- receive it in a portable format;
- object to our use of it, including an absolute right to object to direct marketing;
- withdraw your consent at any time, which does not affect what we did before; and
- not be subject to decisions made solely by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
If you are in Switzerland, you have similar rights under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. To use any of these rights, email hello@redlinemanager.com. We will reply within one month. We may need to confirm your identity, and we do not charge a fee.
Complaints. Please contact us first so we can try to help. You can also complain to a data protection authority:
- in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk);
- in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es);
- in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (edoeb.admin.ch); or
- the authority where you live or work.
11. Security
We protect personal data with encrypted connections, restricted access, and careful handling of system credentials. We store a one-way code instead of IP addresses in our database. If a data breach is likely to put you at high risk, we will tell you without undue delay. We will also notify the regulator where the law requires it.
12. Changes to this policy
We will post any update on this page and change the "Last updated" date. If we make an important change, such as the change of communication channels after funding described in section 5, or launching WhatsApp, calendar or payment features, we will tell you by email or in the channel you use with us before it applies.
