Commitment to Online Privacy: At this site (paulseeba.com), we know that you care about how your information is used and shared. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains our privacy practices and your choices when it comes to controlling the way we use your information. We appreciate you trusting us with your information and are committed to processing your information carefully and sensibly. Please note that this Policy is subject to our Terms of Use Agreement (“ToU”). There are terms in the ToU that materially affect your right to bring a lawsuit against this artist and other rights in regards to this Policy, as such you should read the ToU in addition to this Policy. We know these privacy policies can be tedious to get through. However, by continuing to use the services at this site, you agree to let us use your information in the ways discussed in this Policy. For this reason, it is very important that you read this entire Policy. This Policy applies to the online services owned by the artist, Paul Seeba, including our website, social media accounts, and any future online services we develop. This Policy does not cover the practices of companies that the artist does not own. Sometimes, we may display a link to another company’s services or host goods and services through other third-party platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, Instagram, Youtube or Facebook. When you interact with these third-parties, we have no control over the way in which these companies use your personal information.
Always be sure to read the other company’s privacy policy, so that you can understand what they are doing with your information. What is Personal Information? Personal Information is any information that may allow for an individual to be personally identified. For example, your name, email address, social security number, phone number, residential address, and credit card details are all considered personal information. Other information, such as your interests, economic status, customer number, IP address, geolocation, education, and job title may also be considered personal information if that information, when combined with other information, is used to reveal your identity. The artist’s website only collects personal information from you when you voluntarily consent for us to collect and use it. You voluntarily consent for us to collect and use your personal information by:
- Directly providing the information to us: In some circumstances, you may be asked by the artist to provide specific information so that we can help you with a particular inquiry or you may give information to us on your own accord. Such information may include personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or residential address. For example, you consent for us to use the information you have provided when you purchase merchandise from our online shop, join our mailing list on our website, reach out to us by email or our social media accounts, when you use any “contact us” form on our platforms, when you sign up for a newsletter campaign, when you interact with our support or customer service teams, or when you comment on our social media posts.
You should also be aware that the comments you make on our social media accounts may also be accessible to the public.
- Interacting with our services: You also permit us to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, geolocation, device type, frequency of visits to our online services and network connection type while you use our online services. We may also receive interest-based information about you. We use cookies and third-party services, such as Google Analytics and
Spotify analytics, to help us collect this information. We only use this type of information in anonymized and aggregated forms; this means you are not personally identifiable to us. However, you should be aware that in some circumstances we may be legally required to hand over this information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities, who may then use this information to reveal your identity. What About My Credit Card Information? For your convenience, we allow for customers of Paul Seeba to purchase merchandise and tip using their credit card. We only use PCI compliant third-party vendors to process online payments; this means we NEVER see your credit card information. When making a purchase through a third-party platform such as Facebook, we cannot control how your credit card is processed and you are subject to such third-parties’ terms of service. What About My Passwords? While carrying out our services, there may be times where a password is required to access certain accounts such as a returning guest to our merchandise platform. These passwords are completely administered by the third-party platform and we do not have access to your passwords. Cookie Policy Cookies are small files that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your browser.
- Types of cookies we use: We use both session cookies, that are erased once you exit your browser, and persistent cookies, that stay on your device for a set period of time or until you manually delete them.
- Why does the artist’s website use cookies? We mainly use cookies to help ensure you have the best user experience possible and to give us insight into how we can make improvements to our online services.
As you have probably heard, cookies may also be used to ensure that you see advertisements relevant to your interests. Currently, we do not use targeted advertising on our website or sell any advertisement space on our website for third-party use. However, we may, at times, use targeted advertising through Instagram and Facebook. Instagram and Facebook use cookies on their platforms to collect information about your interests. When we advertise our services through their platforms, we are then able to select a targeted audience that we hope may be interested in our services. That is why you may see some ‘paid’ or ‘sponsored’ advertisements from this artist while using these platforms.
- Can I block cookies? Most browsers have an option to stop your computer from accepting cookies altogether or to stop certain types of cookies. If you do decide to block cookies, our online services (particularly our website) may operate a little strangely, since we rely on some cookies for functionality of our online services. If it is the targeted advertising that you are mainly concerned about, you can choose to specifically opt out of targeted advertising by going the following links:
