Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to elliottmurphy.com, the official website of Elliott Murphy.

The website provides information about Elliott Murphy’s music, writing, performances and other activities and includes an online store.

For questions about this Privacy Policy or about personal information associated with this website, please contact us at info@elliottmurphy.com or through the Contact page on this website.

For technical questions concerning the website, you may also contact the webmaster through the Contact page.

What personal information we collect and why

The personal information we collect depends on how you use the website. It may include your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, country, IP address, browser and device information, order information, messages you send to us and mailing-list subscription information.

We process personal information only where there is an appropriate reason to do so, including:

  • to provide a service or product you have requested;

  • to process and fulfill an order;

  • to respond to correspondence or inquiries;

  • to send communications to which you have subscribed;

  • to operate, maintain and secure the website;

  • to prevent fraud, spam and abuse;

  • to comply with legal and accounting obligations; or

  • where you have otherwise given your consent.

The legal basis for processing depends on the purpose and may include performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests in operating and protecting the website, or your consent.

Online store and orders

Our online store is powered by WooCommerce.

When you place an order, we may collect information necessary to process and fulfill it, including your:

  • name;

  • billing and shipping addresses;

  • email address;

  • telephone number;

  • IP address;

  • products ordered;

  • order value;

  • shipping information; and

  • other information necessary to administer the transaction.

We use this information to process and fulfill orders, arrange shipping, communicate with you about your purchase, handle refunds or problems, prevent fraud and comply with accounting, tax and other legal requirements.

The legal basis for this processing is generally the performance of our contract with you and compliance with our legal obligations.

Payments

Payments for products purchased through the website are processed through PayPal.

When you choose to make a payment, information necessary to complete the transaction is provided to PayPal and is processed according to PayPal’s own privacy and security practices.

Depending on the payment method you choose, PayPal may process information including your name, billing information, transaction amount, account information and payment-card information.

We do not receive or store your complete credit or debit card number on our website.

Mailing list and newsletters

Visitors may subscribe to the Murphyland Mailing List to receive Elliott Murphy news, including information about new releases and upcoming tour dates.

When you subscribe, we collect the information requested on the subscription form, which currently includes your email address and, if provided, your country.

The mailing list is administered using Mailchimp. Information submitted through the subscription form is therefore processed by Mailchimp in order to manage subscriptions and distribute newsletters.

The legal basis for sending these communications is your consent.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our emails. After you unsubscribe, limited information may be retained where necessary to ensure that your request not to receive further messages is respected.

We do not sell mailing-list information or provide it to third parties for their unrelated marketing purposes.

Mailchimp may process information outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States, subject to the data-protection safeguards used by Mailchimp for international data transfers.

Contact and correspondence

If you contact Elliott Murphy, another person associated with the website, or the webmaster by email or through a contact method provided on the website, we receive the information you choose to provide.

This may include your name, email address and the contents of your message.

We use this information to respond to your inquiry and, where relevant, to deal with matters such as bookings, licensing, website support, orders or other correspondence.

Information submitted for one of these purposes is not added to the mailing list unless you separately choose to subscribe.

Comments

If commenting is enabled on any part of the website and you leave a comment, we may collect the information entered into the comment form as well as technical information such as your IP address and browser user-agent information.

This information may be used to display and administer comments and to help identify spam or abusive activity.

Comments and associated information may be retained for as long as the comment remains published or as otherwise reasonably necessary to administer the website.

Cookies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as operating the WooCommerce shopping cart, remembering cookie-consent choices and providing other essential website functionality.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and therefore do not require consent.

If the website uses non-essential cookies or similar technologies in the future, such as for statistics or marketing, they will be subject to the choices available through our cookie-consent system where consent is legally required.

You can review and change your choices at any time using the Cookie Preferences link available in the footer of the website.

For detailed information about the cookies currently used, their purposes and their duration, please see our Cookie Policy.

Embedded content and links to other websites

The website contains links to and may display or embed content from third-party services. These may include services relating to:

  • video;

  • music and streaming;

  • concert tickets and venues;

  • social media; and

  • other external websites.

Examples may include YouTube, Spotify or similar music and video services.

When third-party content is loaded or you follow a link to another website, that service may receive information such as your IP address, browser information and information about your interaction with its content. If you are logged into an account with that third party, your activity may also be associated with that account.

Where third-party content uses non-essential cookies or tracking technologies that legally require consent, we seek to respect the choices made through our cookie-consent system.

Once you leave elliottmurphy.com or interact directly with a third-party service, that provider’s own privacy policy applies.

Music and downloadable content

The website provides music, video, photographs, documents and other downloadable or streaming content.

Normal technical information, such as an IP address, browser information and server-request information, may be processed when you access or download this content. This information is used as necessary to deliver the requested material, maintain the website and protect it from misuse.

Security and website administration

Our hosting, security, anti-spam and website-management systems may process technical information necessary to keep the website secure and functioning properly.

This may include IP addresses, browser and device information, server requests, timestamps, error information and security logs.

Such information is processed where necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, troubleshooting and protecting the website and its visitors.

Who we share your personal information with

We do not sell your personal information.

Personal information may be provided to service providers only where reasonably necessary to operate the website or provide a service you have requested.

Depending on how you use the website, these providers may include:

  • WooCommerce and related WordPress services for operation of the online store;

  • PayPal for payment processing;

  • Mailchimp for mailing-list and newsletter administration;

  • website hosting, security and anti-spam providers;

  • shipping or postal services where necessary to deliver an order; and

  • other technical providers necessary to operate the website.

Third-party websites and services that you choose to visit or interact with process information according to their own privacy policies.

International transfers

Some service providers used by the website may process personal information outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Where European data-protection law applies, such transfers are made using an applicable lawful transfer mechanism, which may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguards permitted under applicable law.

How long we retain personal information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any additional period required by law.

In particular:

Mailing-list information is retained while you remain subscribed. Limited information may remain after unsubscribing where necessary to record and respect your opt-out request.

Correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry and maintain appropriate records.

Customer and order information is retained for the period necessary to fulfill and administer orders and thereafter where required for accounting, tax, dispute-resolution or other legal purposes.

Invoices and accounting records may be retained for up to 10 years where required by French accounting and tax law.

Security and technical logs are retained only for the period reasonably necessary for website security, troubleshooting and protection.

Information may be retained for a longer period where required in connection with a legal obligation, dispute or legal claim.

Your rights

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other applicable European data-protection law applies, you may have the right to:

  • request access to personal information we hold about you;

  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • request deletion of your personal information in appropriate circumstances;

  • request restriction of processing;

  • object to certain processing;

  • receive certain information in a portable format where the right to data portability applies;

  • withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and

  • lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise your rights, contact us at info@elliottmurphy.com.

We may need sufficient information to confirm your identity before acting on a request.

Certain information cannot always be deleted immediately where we are legally required to retain it, for example for tax, accounting, fraud-prevention or legal purposes.

If you are in France, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés (CNIL).
