The privacy of users of quirkmusic.co.uk is taken very seriously. This privacy statement provides information about personal information and the ways in which that information is used.

Names, email addresses and and other information you provide via contact forms. That information will only be used to facilitate discussion relating to enquiries initiated by yourself with regard to sales, education, projects, performances or other educational pursuits.
Your supplied name and email address will be used if you are part of an online project. This enables you to have login details to access the projects and downloadable content.
Note: musical compositions and arrangements purchased through the website use PayPal payments through the Ecwid online store platform. Personal details and information relating to purchases are handled by those platforms: no data is collected or retained by quirkmusic.co.uk.
The software system used to manage user logins and access to secure areas of the website (project/teaching areas) collects IP addresses during the login process to facilitate security measures, such as detecting multiple simultaneous logins from the same user account.

Securing your data

Quirk Music will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. All the personal information you provide is stored on secure hosting servers.

Cross-border data transfers

You agree to such cross-border transfers of personal information.

Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, we would ask that anyone under the age of 18 interested in online projects, proceed with parental or guardian's approval. In most cases communication relating to musical projects/teaching will be conducted through a parental email address or educational institution email address, unless there is a specific request by the parent or guardian to use the child's email address for technical reasons. In such cases it is normal practise to copy all communication to the parent/guardian email address.
