Who I am
This website, www.chrislever.com, is run by Chris Lever, a sole trader based in Bristol, UK. I am the data controller for the personal data described below. You can contact me at chrisleverpiano@gmail.com.
What I collect
When you send an enquiry through the website form, I collect your name, email address, optional phone number, event type, event date, venue, number of guests, and any notes you add. When you visit the website, my analytics and cookies also collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device, the pages you visit, how you move around the site, and the page you came from.
How I use it, and why
- To reply to your enquiry and arrange a booking. This is necessary to take steps at your request before a contract, and for my legitimate interest in running my business.
- To keep business, invoicing and tax records. This is a legal obligation.
- To understand how the website is used, through Google Analytics. This is based on your consent, given through the cookie banner.
- To keep the website secure. This is my legitimate interest.
I don't send marketing emails or add you to a mailing list, and I never sell your data.
Who I share it with
- Squarespace, which hosts the website and stores form submissions.
- My email provider, where enquiries are sent.
- Google, for Google Analytics and for Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts, which may receive your IP address when fonts load.
- Services embedded on the site, such as YouTube, Spotify or Instagram. They may set their own cookies when you view or play their content. See their own privacy policies.
- Authorities, where the law requires it.
International transfers
Squarespace and Google are US-based. Your data may be transferred outside the UK. These providers rely on approved safeguards such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
Cookies
Some cookies are essential for the website to work and are always used. Analytics cookies are used only if you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings or your browser.
How long I keep your data
I keep your details for as long as HMRC requires me to keep business records, and then delete them.
Security
The website uses HTTPS, and your enquiry goes only to my own email account, which I keep secure. No method of sending or storing data online is completely secure, so I can't guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the data I hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how I use it, receive a copy in a portable format, or withdraw your consent at any time. Contact me at chrisleverpiano@gmail.com to do any of these. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113.
Children
This website is not aimed at children, and I don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If I change this policy, I'll post the new version on this page and update the date above.
