This Privacy Policy explains how Indie Music Artist (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with IndieMusicArtist.com, including contact inquiries and Artist Spotlight applications.
When you contact us or apply for an Artist Spotlight, you may provide information such as:
Please do not submit passwords, payment card details, identification documents, or other sensitive personal information through our contact form.
Our website hosting and related technical services may process information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, requested pages, and the time of a request. This information can be used to deliver the website, investigate errors, and protect against abuse.
We use information as needed to:
Sending an inquiry or applying for a feature does not, by itself, subscribe you to marketing emails.
Our contact form uses WPForms. Submitted information is processed through our website and email services so we can receive and respond to your message.
The storage of submissions depends on the form version and settings in use. Copies may be retained in email, website records, or configured backup services. Service providers involved in delivering or protecting the form may process the information needed to perform those functions.
An application is used for review and correspondence. Applying does not automatically publish your submission.
If a feature is approved, we agree on the materials intended for publication. These may include your artist name, approved biography, photographs, genre, optional location, music embeds, and official links.
Published profiles are public. Visitors may share them, and search engines may index them. Do not submit private information for inclusion in your profile. Your application email address is not intended for publication unless you specifically ask us to publish it.
You may contact us about corrections or removal. We cannot control copies, screenshots, or cached versions retained by third parties.
WordPress, enabled website features, and third-party content may use cookies or similar technologies. Their purposes can include maintaining preferences, supporting site functionality, and protecting against misuse.
Third-party media and affiliate destinations may also use their own cookies or tracking technologies, as explained below.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website features. Where applicable, additional consent controls should be used for nonessential technologies.
Pages may include embedded music, videos, or images loaded from external services. Loading or interacting with this content can connect your browser to those providers.
These providers may receive technical information, use cookies, or record interactions according to their own policies. If you are signed into their services, they may associate interactions with your account.
You can review the relevant provider’s privacy information before using embedded content or following an external link.
Some pages contain affiliate links. If you follow a link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission.
Affiliate partners may use tracking links, cookies, or similar tools to attribute referrals. Information collected on a partner’s website is governed by that partner’s privacy policy.
If comments are enabled on a page, information you enter in a comment may be publicly visible, including your display name and comment text. Technical information may also be processed to detect spam and protect the site.
Use the Contact page, rather than public comments, for private artist applications and inquiries.
Information may be processed by service providers that support website hosting, email delivery, forms, backups, and security. Information approved for an artist feature is shared publicly through that feature.
We may also disclose information when legally required or when reasonably necessary to address fraud, protect rights, or respond to a legal claim.
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including correspondence, feature administration, recordkeeping, and legal obligations.
Published artist materials are retained in accordance with the agreed feature period, unless removed sooner. Related correspondence and administrative records may need to be kept longer. Backup copies may remain until they are replaced or expire.
You may contact us to ask about access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have additional rights.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, or recordkeeping reasons.
To make a request, use our Contact page and begin your message with “Privacy Request.” Do not send identification documents unless we arrange an appropriate verification method with you.
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. No website, email system, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.
Service providers may process information in countries other than your own, where privacy laws may differ.
The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. Artist Spotlight purchases are intended for adults age 18 or older.
If you believe a child has provided personal information that should not have been collected, please contact us.
We may update this policy to reflect changes to website features or information practices. The date at the top identifies the most recent update.
