PRIVACY POLICY.

The short version

We only collect what you choose to send us through the forms on this site. We use it to reply to you and, if you sign up, to send you occasional news about JB Emerson's music. We don't sell it, we don't use advertising trackers, and this site doesn't set cookies.

What we collect

• Contact form: your name, email address, the topic you pick and your message.
• Song inquiry form: your name, email address, and anything else you fill in: company or artist, role, song, type of inquiry and message.
• Email signup: your email address.
• With each form we also record the date and the page you sent it from.

To stop spam, the form system keeps a scrambled, one-way code made from your IP address for up to an hour to limit how many messages can be sent. It can't be turned back into your IP address and isn't stored with your message.

How we use it

To read and answer your message or inquiry, and, if you signed up, to send you updates about new music. You can stop getting updates at any time by replying to any email or writing to us at the address below.

Where it's kept

Form messages are emailed to our Gmail inbox (Google) and a backup copy is saved in a private folder on our web host (Bluehost), which is not publicly accessible. Like all web hosts, Bluehost keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages visited) for security and running the site. We keep messages for as long as we need them to deal with your request, and signups until you unsubscribe.

Cookies and tracking

This site doesn't set cookies or load advertising trackers. To see which pages and songs people visit, it uses GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly visitor counter that doesn't use cookies or collect personal information. It records the page you visit, the site that sent you, your browser and screen size and a rough location (country), plus clicks on streaming links, preview plays and form sends, and it doesn't keep your IP address. Read GoatCounter’s privacy policy. Fonts, images and preview clips are served from this site itself.

Links to other services

Links to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, iTunes, Deezer, iHeartRadio, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X take you to those services, and their own privacy policies apply once you're there.

Your choices

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Just email us and we'll take care of it. Wherever you live, we'll honour these requests.

Children

This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has sent us information, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
