When will I need to provide my details?

We may collect personal information from you (e.g. name or email address) when you sign up for one of our email newsletters. Our newsletters and mailing lists are hosted and sent by Bandcamp, MailChimp and Substack.

Why do you need my details and how do you use them?

The main reason we need your personal details is so that we are able to communicate with you and keep you informed about news relating to the musician and artist GUITAR PK.

We will only contact you if you tell us that you are happy for us to do so, usually when you fill in the newsletter subscribe form on the home page. If you have subscribed via our Bandcamp page (see Bandcamp’s own privacy statements: https://bandcamp.com/), we may add the information you submitted to our newsletter mailing list.

What if I don’t want you to use my details anymore?

If you ever change your mind about whether you want to hear from us then you can always amend your preferences by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of our emails. Alternatively, you can contact us at: paul@guitarpk.com.

Our website does not store your personal information directly when you enter it into our newsletter subscribe form. Your data (e.g. name and email address) is stored securely via our third party mailing service Bandcamp.

We may send communications to you by email (via the Bandcamp mailing service). E-mail is not a fully secure means of communication, and whilst we do our utmost to keep our systems and communications protected we cannot guarantee this.

Do you pass my details on to any other organisations or individuals?

Any information you provide is us is held in strictest confidence. We won’t sell your data to another organisation. When we need to send data to a third party working on our behalf e.g. a music store, we will make sure the company has signed a data processing agreement, so that they are bound to take care of your data in the same way we do.
