Effective Date: July 15, 2025

Deaf Fret ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at https://deaf-fret.com (the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in the following ways:

  • Automatically Collected Information: When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including:
    • Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and clickstream data.
    • Cookies and similar technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, or similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze Site usage, and remember preferences. These may be set by us or third-party providers (e.g., for analytics). You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
  • Information You Provide: If you interact with the Site (e.g., via contact forms, inquiries, or newsletter signups), we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or any other details you voluntarily provide.
  • Third-Party Sources: We may receive information from third parties, such as social media platforms (e.g., if you follow links to our profiles on platforms like YouTube or other social media), which could include public profile data or engagement metrics.

We do not collect sensitive personal information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the Site.
  • To improve our services, such as analyzing usage trends and customizing content.
  • To communicate with you, including responding to inquiries or sending updates about our artists, services, or events (if you subscribe).
  • To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect our rights.
  • For marketing and promotional activities, such as sharing news about our management, development, production, tuition, songwriting, or recording services.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information in limited circumstances:

  • With service providers: Third-party vendors who assist us with Site hosting, analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), or other operational needs, under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • With legal authorities: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
  • In business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Links to third-party sites (e.g., social media or YouTube) are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for their privacy practices—please review their policies separately.

4. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You can also opt out of cookies via your browser or tools like the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page.

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it promptly.

7. International Data Transfers
