Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Daniel Fries Music collects, uses, and protects information from visitors and clients who use danielfriesmusic.com and related online services.

Information We Collect

When you contact us, request availability, ask for a quote, or follow booking links, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, event date, event type, venue or location, guest count, message content, and follow-up communication.

When you visit this website, web servers, hosting providers, analytics tools, anti-spam tools, and browser technologies may collect information such as IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring page or search source, pages visited, date and time of visit, approximate location derived from IP address, cookie identifiers or similar browser identifiers, and security or anti-spam signals.

Contact and Booking Inquiries

This website links to Daniel Fries Music inquiry forms used for event bookings. Information submitted through those forms may be sent by email and reviewed in internal tools used to respond to inquiries, estimate availability, plan logistics, and prepare quotes.

To help prepare appropriate quotes and logistics, we may consider information such as event location, venue type, travel distance, event timing, desired ensemble size, guest count, phone area code, approximate IP-derived location, and publicly available location or market context. Quote recommendations are reviewed by Daniel Fries Music; we do not use these tools to make fully automated legally significant decisions about you.

How We Use Information

• Respond to inquiries and check availability
• Prepare quotes, proposals, and performance agreements
• Coordinate musicians, schedule, travel, sound needs, and logistics
• Send confirmations and follow-up messages
• Prevent spam, fraud, and abuse
• Maintain website security and understand website traffic
• Comply with legal, tax, accounting, and business record obligations

We do not use contact-form information to send unrelated mass marketing emails.

Cookies, Analytics, and Embedded Services

Some Daniel Fries Music websites use cookies, scripts, pixels, or similar technologies to operate forms, protect against spam, measure site traffic, and understand how visitors find and use our pages. This may include essential form/session/security technologies, analytics technologies, and embedded third-party media such as audio players, videos, maps, or social links.

We do not intend to use advertising pixels, retargeting pixels, or behavioral advertising cookies unless they are specifically disclosed and any legally required notice, consent, or opt-out mechanism is provided.

Google Analytics and Third Parties

Many Daniel Fries Music websites use Google Analytics. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, or contact-form message contents to Google Analytics. Learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google also offers an opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Embedded services such as Bandcamp, YouTube, social media sites, maps, or review platforms may receive information such as your IP address, browser/device information, the page you visited, and interactions with embedded content according to their own privacy policies.

Sharing, Sale, and Service Providers

We may share information with musicians, contractors, venues, planners, or other event contacts when needed to plan or perform an event; with service providers who help operate our websites and business systems; to comply with legal obligations; or to protect our rights, safety, property, clients, websites, or business operations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as that term is commonly used in California privacy law.

Your Choices and California Privacy Notice

You may ask us to update, correct, or delete inquiry information, subject to legal, tax, accounting, contract, security, and legitimate business record needs. California residents may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. To make a request, please use the contact form or contact link on this website.

Data Retention and Security

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, managing contracts, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and improving our services. We use reasonable measures to protect personal information, but no website, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure.

Children and International Visitors

This website is intended for adults planning events and is not directed to children under 13. If you visit from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, privacy and cookie laws may give you additional rights, and where legally required we will rely on consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
