Privacy Policy

This policy describes what information is collected when you visit childofthekingmusic.net, why it's collected, and what your rights are. I try to keep this plain and short.

What the site collects

• Basic analytics via Google Analytics 4. Google receives a sample of your visit (country, region, city-level location, device type, browser, pages viewed, approximate time spent). Your IP address is anonymized before it's stored. No personal identifiers are collected.
• An anonymous visitor ID stored in your browser (localStorage key cotk_uid). This is a random string with no link to any real identity. It exists solely so that your like/dislike votes on songs persist across page reloads and can be updated (if you change your mind and click the button again).
• Aggregate song statistics. When you listen to a song for at least 60 seconds or cast a vote, the server records a tally update (total plays, total likes, total dislikes per song). These are not tied to your identity — only to your anonymous visitor ID.
• Newsletter signups. If you submit the email form on the Connect page, your email address is stored by MailerLite (mailerlite.com), the third-party email service used to send release announcements and major-update notifications. You will receive a one-time confirmation email asking you to verify the signup; only after you click that link are you added to the list. Every email sent through the list includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom that removes you instantly. You can also email the address below at any time to request removal.

What the site does NOT collect

• No real names, addresses, phone numbers, or payment info.
• No advertising cookies or third-party ad tracking.
• No selling of data to anyone. Ever.

Cookies and similar technology

Google Analytics may set cookies on your device. The anonymous visitor ID described above is stored in localStorage, which is not technically a cookie but serves a similar purpose. You can clear both at any time via your browser settings; doing so will reset your like/dislike history on this site and is otherwise harmless.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA and similar)

You have the right to request a copy of any information associated with your visit, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. Because the site does not collect personally-identifying data, most requests come down to "please delete my newsletter signup" or "please zero out my vote history," which are straightforward.

Send requests to child.of.the.king.composer@gmail.com. I'll respond within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of the page will reflect it.
