Privacy Policy

Shindig Music (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you visit ShindigMusic.net, subscribe to our newsletter, submit music or contact us.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly, including your email address when subscribing to our newsletter, and your name, email, artist name, streaming links and any other details you include in a music submission or contact form.

We also collect limited technical information automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information and pages visited, through standard server logs and analytics tools. This helps us understand how readers use the site and improve our content.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to send newsletters, respond to messages, review music submissions, publish approved content, improve the website and protect against abuse. We do not sell personal information to third parties.

3. Newsletter

Our newsletter is opt-in. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email. We use a reputable email service provider to manage subscriptions and deliver messages.

4. Music submissions

When you submit music, press materials or artist information, we store those details so our editorial team can review them. Submission does not guarantee coverage. If your submission is approved, we may publish the information you provided, including artist name, biography, images and streaming links.

5. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site secure, remember your preferences and measure traffic. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

6. Third-party services

The site may embed content or links from third-party platforms such as Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and social media networks. These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them.

7. Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, but no online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information. To request a copy of your data, update your details or ask us to remove your information, email us at Contact@shindigmusic.net.

9. Changes to this policy
