Last updated June 13, 2026. Plain English, on purpose. FestDNA is free, it doesn’t sell tickets or take payments, and everything it shows about a festival is an estimate — always verify on the official source before you book.
Welcome to FestDNA. These Terms are a plain-English agreement between you and YMYW (“FestDNA,” “we,” “us”). By using festdna.com you agree to them, along with our Privacy Policy and Affiliate Disclosure below. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
FestDNA is intended for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to use it. The product involves festivals, nightlife, travel, ticketing, and affiliate booking links, so it isn’t meant for children.
FestDNA is a free web app. You take a short quiz (about 60 seconds) about your music taste, favorite DJs, budget, home city, travel range, available dates, vibe, and accommodation preferences, and we recommend electronic-music festivals worldwide and help you estimate trip-planning details — things like festival dates, costs, flights, hotels, ticket links, and what to pack.
FestDNA does not sell tickets, does not process bookings, and does not process payments. Every booking, purchase, refund, cancellation, and customer-service issue is handled by third-party websites, not by us.
We pull festival information from public and third-party sources — lineups, headliners, dates, ticket prices, venue and camping policies, age restrictions, and travel and hotel estimates. This information changes constantly. Treat everything on FestDNA as an estimate, and verify it on the official source before you rely on it.
In particular, confirm details directly with official sources before you:
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, availability, or timeliness of any festival information.
FestDNA links out to third-party services to help you plan and book — for example Google Flights, Aviasales / Travelpayouts, Booking.com, official festival ticket websites, Amazon, and other travel, ticketing, hotel, and gear providers. Some of these are affiliate links (see the Affiliate Disclosure below).
We are not responsible for anything that happens on or because of a third-party service, including their prices, availability, cancellations, refunds, policies, errors, sold-out events, changed dates or lineups, schedule changes, travel disruptions, lost money, denied entry, hotel issues, flight delays, or ticketing problems.
FestDNA offers estimates and planning suggestions only. It is not travel, legal, financial, medical, safety, visa, or insurance advice. You are responsible for your own:
Always verify travel requirements through official government, airline, hotel, ticketing, and festival sources.
FestDNA is provided free of charge, “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that recommendations will be accurate, that festival data will be current, that prices or tickets will be available, that third-party websites will work, that lineups will stay the same, that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that you will enjoy a recommended festival.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, FestDNA and YMYW are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost travel or ticket costs, missed events, cancelled trips, third-party mistakes, changed dates or lineups, inaccurate prices, sold-out tickets, booking problems, or travel disruptions.
To the extent we are ever found liable, our total liability will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid FestDNA in the 12 months before the claim. FestDNA is currently free, so in most cases that amount is $0.
The FestDNA and RAVEDNA names, the DNA-wave logo, and the site design, quiz content, recommendation logic, scoring system, text, graphics, software, and database are owned by YMYW and protected by intellectual-property laws. FESTDNA and related names, logos, and marks are trademarks or pending trademarks of YMYW.
You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not copy or scrape the site, reverse-engineer the recommendation or scoring system, use automated bots, resell our data, misuse our trademarks, or reproduce the quiz or database without our permission.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be handled exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date shows the latest version, and continued use means you accept the changes. Questions? Email privacy@festdna.com.
This Privacy Policy explains what FestDNA (operated by YMYW, in Las Vegas, Nevada) collects, why, and the choices you have. Questions or requests: privacy@festdna.com.
FestDNA is intended for people 18 and older. It is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
By default, FestDNA collects anonymous, first-party analytics. That can include:
This data is stored in our own database (Supabase / Postgres). You stay anonymous unless you choose to give us an email address or phone number.
Email (optional): if you give us your email, we use it to save your festival plan and send the alerts you ask for — ticket on-sale alerts, lineup alerts, and trip-planning reminders — and marketing emails if you consent. We use Klaviyo to manage email. You can unsubscribe from marketing at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.
Phone / SMS (optional, opt-in only): we only collect a phone number if you explicitly opt in. If you opt in to SMS alerts, you agree to receive recurring automated marketing messages; consent is not a condition of any purchase; message and data rates may apply; message frequency may vary; reply STOP to unsubscribe and HELP for help.
FestDNA uses the Meta (Facebook) Pixel for advertising measurement, which may set cookies or similar technologies. Our consent banner lets you decline non-essential analytics, and you can also control cookies through your browser settings. We are continuing to expand consent controls for advertising/tracking, particularly for users in the EU/UK — see your rights below.
We may use the random localStorage ID to remember your quiz results, saved festivals, and behavior events across visits on the same device. If you later give us an email address, we may connect your earlier anonymous activity to that email so we can save your plan, improve your recommendations, send the alerts you requested, avoid duplicate profiles, and personalize future results.
We use trusted third parties to run FestDNA. They process data on our behalf:
FestDNA is operated from the United States. If you use it from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. and by the providers listed above.
Wherever you are, you can ask us to:
If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, to data portability, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your local data-protection authority.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know, delete, and correct your personal information, to opt out of its sale or sharing, to limit the use of sensitive personal information where applicable, and not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: even though we do not sell your data for money, advertising and retargeting pixels (such as the Meta Pixel) may be treated as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law. To opt out, email privacy@festdna.com or decline non-essential tracking in our consent banner.
To exercise any right above, or for any privacy question, email privacy@festdna.com. We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date reflects the current version.
FestDNA is free to use, and we keep it that way partly through affiliate links. Some of the links on FestDNA are affiliate links, which means that if you click one and book or buy something, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you.
Our affiliate partners may include Booking.com (hotels), Travelpayouts / Aviasales (flights), official ticketing partners, other travel providers, and Amazon (festival gear). Where we participate in the Amazon Associates Program, as an Amazon Associate we may earn from qualifying purchases.
Earning a commission never means a recommendation is guaranteed to be right for you. Our matches are estimates, and prices, dates, availability, and policies change. Always verify the details on the official site before you book or buy.
