Privacy & Data Policy

 

This policy explains how I, [Your Name], a sole‑trader music producer based in the UK, handle your personal data in line with UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). I mainly rely on “contract” and “legitimate interests” to process your data, and “consent” where you choose to join my email list.

 

What data I collect

​

I collect basic contact details (name, email, social handle) and any music/project files you send me (demos, stems, mixes, references). I also keep simple records of invoices and payments for tax purposes. ​ ​

 

Why I collect it

 

I use this information to reply to your enquiries, book and run sessions, deliver mixes/masters, and—if you choose to join—send you occasional updates about my work. I only use your data for these purposes.

 

Where it’s stored

 

I use common tools like email, Google Drive/Dropbox, simple spreadsheets and scheduling tools (such as Calendly) to organise projects and bookings. These providers have their own security and privacy policies, and I also use strong passwords, device security and backups to protect your data. ​

 

How long I keep it

 

I keep active client/project data while we’re working together and for at least 30 days after final delivery to help with any follow‑up. I keep invoices and basic records for at least six years to comply with UK tax requirements. You can ask me to delete other information at any time, and I’ll remove it where I’m not legally required to keep it. ​

 

Your rights and choices

 

You can:

• Ask to see what personal data I hold about you.

• Request corrections if anything is inaccurate.

• Ask me to delete your data where possible, or object to how I’m using it.

 

To do this, contact me at [your email].

 

If you’re unhappy with how I handle your data, please contact me first so I can try to fix it. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk. ​
