Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31 August 2025

Who we are

Controller: Sam Statham Piano (UK, one-person business)

Contact:

We don’t have a Data Protection Officer or EU representative.

Data we process

  • Enquiries/Bookings: name, email and message when you contact us or use the “Compose email” form.
  • Technical logs: basic server logs (IP, user agent, timestamps, request data) for security and reliability.
  • Social embeds (Twitch/YouTube): only load if you allow “Social media” in Cookie preferences or click to open. Those services may set cookies and process data under their own policies.
  • Analytics: currently off by default. If enabled later, it will respect your Cookie preferences.

We do not sell personal data and do not use automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects.

Purposes & lawful bases

  • Reply to enquiries & manage bookings: contract/steps before a contract; legitimate interests in running the business.
  • Operate and secure the site: legitimate interests; legal obligations where applicable.
  • Social media embeds: consent (disabled until you allow it).
  • Analytics (if enabled later): consent.

Retention

  • Enquiries: up to 24 months after last contact (or sooner on request), unless needed for legal reasons.
  • Booking records/invoices: typically 6 years for UK tax/accounting.
  • Server logs: ~30 days for security/troubleshooting.
  • Cookie preferences: stored in your browser (localStorage) for up to 180 days. See the Cookie Policy.

Sharing & transfers

We use common service providers (e.g., hosting, email). Social embeds involve Twitch and YouTube as independent controllers. Data may be processed outside the UK/EU under those providers’ safeguards.

Your rights

You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability and object to certain processing. You can withdraw consent at any time (does not affect earlier lawful processing). To exercise your rights, email samstathampiano@outlook.com.

If you are unhappy, you can complain to the UK ICO: ico.org.uk.

Changes

We may update this notice; we’ll change the date above when we do.
