This Privacy Policy explains how Musicoholics.com, owned by Ema Torres, collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data. By using this site, you agree to this policy.
We collect the following types of data: your name when you use our contact forms, your email address when you sign up for our newsletter or submit a contact form, your IP address automatically through Google Analytics, and any comments you leave on blog posts. This information helps us operate the website effectively and communicate with you.
We only collect your data with your explicit consent in accordance with GDPR Article 6(1)(a). You provide this consent by entering your email into our newsletter or contact form and clicking “Submit” or “Subscribe.”
Your personal information is used in the following ways: your email address allows us to send newsletters and respond to your messages; your name helps us personalize those communications; your IP address is used to analyze site visits, block spam, and improve website performance; and your comments are shown publicly on our blog posts.
We do not sell or share your data with advertisers. However, we use trusted third-party services that help us run the website. Google Analytics accesses your IP address and device information. WordPress plugins may access your name, email, and comment data. Elementor accesses form submissions, and our hosting provider, Bluehost, stores all submitted data. These services only access the information necessary for their function and are bound by privacy agreements.
Musicoholics.com does not use cookies. We do not employ tracking for ads, analytics cookies, or marketing cookies.
You have the right to access your personal data, correct inaccurate information, delete your data, receive a copy of your data, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us at Ema@musicoholics.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 years of age. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to us in error, please email Ema@musicoholics.com so we can remove it immediately.
Your data is stored and processed in the United States, with Bluehost serving as our hosting provider. If you are visiting from the EU or UK, please be aware that your data may not be protected to the same standards as in your home country. By using our site, you agree to this transfer and consent to data processing as outlined.
We take data protection seriously and have implemented the following measures: SSL/HTTPS encryption, strong encryption for stored data, restricted access to admin panels, regular software updates, and secure hosting via Bluehost. Please note that we do not currently hold any ISO security certifications.
We retain your data for varying periods: emails are kept until you unsubscribe; contact form submissions are deleted after 12 months; IP addresses are retained for 14 months through Google Analytics; comments remain unless deleted by the user; and your name is stored for the same duration as your associated email.
We do not use any automated decision-making processes or profiling on our website.
Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (DNT) request, but our site does not respond to these signals. We do not use any trackers that observe DNT settings.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to know what personal data we collect, request a copy of their data, ask for its deletion, and be free from discrimination for exercising privacy rights. Since we do not sell or share personal data for advertising purposes, there is no need to opt out. Requests can be made by emailing Ema@musicoholics.com.
If you have questions about this policy or your data, please contact us by email at Ema@musicoholics.com.
We will notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy by posting an update on our website, emailing our newsletter subscribers, and adding a “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
