What the site uses
The public website code includes no advertising or visitor analytics trackers. Hosting providers receive technical information, such as IP addresses and requests, to deliver and protect the service. The production public site uses Cloudflare Pages, while the separate admin and application service run on the netcup server used by the festival.
Your application draft
Saving on this device is optional and starts switched off for new applications. Without it, entries stay only in this tab’s memory and may be lost after a refresh or closing the tab. If you enable it, text and participant lists are saved in localStorage, and photos and videos in IndexedDB. This can include passport numbers and dates of birth. Avoid saving on shared devices.
Saved drafts expire 24 hours after their last save. The website checks expiry and removes expired copies while open or when opened again; it cannot erase data from a device while the browser is closed. Older drafts without a timestamp receive an initial 24-hour deadline when first detected. The draft is removed after a successful submission.
This limit applies only to the device draft. It does not delete applications or attachments submitted to the organisers. Deleting here also does not remove downloaded PDFs/ZIPs or entries still open in other tabs.
Your controls
Switch off saving or use Delete saved draft in the form. The control on this page removes only the application draft on this website origin. Use browser settings to clear other preferences. Drafts and preferences on a different website address are separate.
If trackers or third-party embedded content are added, this notice and any required consent controls must be updated before activation.
