Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how sarahwebstermusic.com (the “Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

This policy is written in plain language and designed to align with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) in the United States, and general privacy expectations of visitors from other regions.

Information we collect

The Site collects only the limited information described below.

  • Information you provide by email. When you click the contact link on the Site, your email program opens a new message addressed to info@sarahwebstermusic.com. Anything you choose to include in that email — your name, contact details, project information, or other content — is sent directly to us.
  • Analytics data. The Site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as your approximate location (derived from IP address), device type, browser, the pages you view, how long you stay, and the website you came from. This data is aggregated and not used to identify you personally.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. The Site uses cookies set by WordPress, the Elementor page builder, and Google Analytics to keep the Site functioning correctly and to measure traffic. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect how parts of the Site behave.
  • Server logs. The Site’s hosting provider automatically records standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and request times for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.

How we use information

The information described above is used only to:

  • Respond to inquiries sent by email.
  • Understand how the Site is performing and improve its content.
  • Keep the Site secure and prevent misuse.
  • Comply with legal obligations when required.

The Site does not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for advertising purposes.

Legal basis for processing

Under PIPEDA, the Site relies on your implied consent when you choose to email through the Site or browse it, and on legitimate interest in operating a functional, secure website. For visitors from regions where similar rules apply, the same bases apply: consent for optional analytics, and legitimate interest for security and basic site operation.

Who we share information with

Information is shared only with the service providers that help operate the Site:

  • Google (Google Analytics) for traffic measurement.
  • The website hosting provider for delivering the Site.
  • The email service provider for sending and receiving messages.

These providers act on behalf of the Site and are bound by their own privacy and security commitments. Information may also be disclosed if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site or others.

International data transfers

Some of the service providers listed above are based in the United States or other countries. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be processed outside your country of residence, where data protection laws may differ.

Data retention

Email correspondence is kept for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and maintain a record of communications. Analytics data is retained according to the default Google Analytics retention period. You can request deletion of personal information you have sent at any time.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to access. Request a copy of the personal information held about you.
  • Right to correct. Ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected.
  • Right to delete. Ask for personal information you have provided to be deleted.
  • Right to withdraw consent. Ask for processing of your information to stop at any time.
  • Right to opt out of sale or sharing (California residents). The Site does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, but you have the right to direct that it not be.
  • Right to non-discrimination (California residents). You will not receive different service for exercising any of these rights.
 

To exercise any of these rights, email info@sarahwebstermusic.com. Requests are typically answered within 30 days.

Cookies and analytics opt-out

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available from Google.
