Promoters & Ticket Sales

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the initial website hosting them.

These websites may collect data about you, using cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

Eco-Sustainability

Small actions contribute to a bigger picture when it comes to keeping our planet healthy.

Which is why this colour-optimised platform and all HO9-related content have opted for a paper-free policy, remaining on the greener side of things as much as possible, and in the process, getting you on board too: Any files sent/forwarded will be carried out via email or uploaded to our servers (for you to access), and communication will exclusively take place digitally (i.e. text, socials, etc).

Donations

Compassion and kindness are defaults to the HO9 brand, as mentioned previously.

HO9 is some times involved in humanitarian movements and actions, providing aid in the form of sponsorship.

Therefore, to help others who are less fortunate, this platform will display a link, every so often, which will redirect you to a handpicked verified organisation/charity.

As much as we make sure that any donation links are legitimate, all proceeds should be made directly to the organisation; in other words, HO9 does not take responsibility should any issues occur.

QR Codes

A QR code is a type of matrix barcode.

It is a machine-readable code consisting of an array of black and white squares or shapes, typically used for storing URLs or other information for reading by the camera on a smartphone.

This platform does not store any of your information or data when you scan a QR code, but rather redirect you in a quick and easy way to the pages linked to them.
