3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you interact with our Site, you may voluntarily provide personal information, including your name, email address, phone number, and any message content submitted through contact or inquiry forms. If you book drum lessons, recording sessions, or live production services, we may also collect scheduling preferences and service-specific details relevant to fulfilling your request.

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain technical data is collected automatically by Wix and associated analytics services. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of access, and general geographic location derived from your IP address. This data is collected through cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies.

3.3 Third-Party Embedded Content

The Site embeds content from third-party platforms including YouTube (video content), Instagram (social feed), Facebook, LinkedIn, and Spotify. When you interact with this embedded content, those third-party services may collect data about you in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these platforms directly.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes: to respond to your inquiries and communications; to schedule and deliver the services you have requested (lessons, recording sessions, live production, performance engagements); to send you information about services, events, or updates where you have provided consent or where we have a legitimate interest in doing so; to improve the Site’s functionality, content, and user experience through analytics; to comply with applicable legal obligations; and to protect the security and integrity of the Site.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, primarily through Wix’s built-in analytics and any third-party services we have enabled (such as Google Analytics). Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us understand how visitors use the Site.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of the Site. For more information on how Wix handles cookies, please refer to the Wix Cookie Policy available at wix.com.

6. Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances: with service providers who assist in operating the Site and delivering our services (e.g., Wix as our hosting platform, email service providers), subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations; with third-party analytics providers for the purpose of understanding Site usage and improving our services; where required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request; and to protect the rights, property, or safety of TheDrumSpeaks, our users, or the public.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable data protection standards.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we collect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. The Site is hosted on Wix’s platform, which employs industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) and security protocols. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. Under PIPEDA, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, to withdraw consent for the collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions), and to file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you may additionally have rights under the GDPR, including the right to erasure, data portability, and the right to restrict or object to processing. If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion.

If a parent or guardian is booking lessons for a minor, the parent or guardian is responsible for providing any required personal information on the minor’s behalf. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
