Information We Collect

When you contact us, request availability, or submit an inquiry, we may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, preferred contact method, event or service date, location, message content, planning details, and follow-up communication.

When you visit this website, some information may be collected automatically by our web servers, hosting providers, analytics tools, anti-spam tools, and browser technologies. This may include IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring page or search source, pages visited, date and time of visit, approximate location derived from IP address, cookie identifiers or similar browser identifiers, and security or anti-spam signals.

Contact Forms and Inquiries

This website uses a contact form so families, planners, venues, and other contacts can inquire about music for funeral services, memorials, celebrations of life, and related gatherings. Information submitted through a contact form may be sent to Daniel Fries Music by email and may be reviewed in internal tools used to respond to inquiries, estimate availability, plan logistics, and prepare quotes.

To help prepare appropriate quotes and logistics, we may consider information such as service location, venue type, travel distance, event timing, phone area code, approximate IP-derived location, and publicly available location or market context. Quote recommendations are reviewed by Daniel Fries Music; we do not use these tools to make fully automated legally significant decisions about you.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to respond to inquiries, check availability, prepare quotes and proposals, discuss planning details, coordinate music, schedule, travel, sound needs, and logistics, send confirmations and follow-up messages, prevent spam and abuse, maintain website security, understand website traffic, improve website content, and comply with legal, tax, accounting, and business record obligations.

We do not use contact-form information to send unrelated mass marketing emails.

Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

Some Daniel Fries Music websites use cookies, scripts, pixels, or similar technologies to operate forms, protect against spam, measure site traffic, and understand how visitors find and use our pages. Current known categories include essential form, session, CSRF, and security technologies; analytics technologies, including Google Analytics on many sites; spam-prevention technologies where used; and embedded third-party content such as Bandcamp audio players or other media widgets.

We do not intend to use advertising pixels, retargeting pixels, or behavioral advertising cookies unless they are specifically disclosed and any legally required notice, consent, or opt-out mechanism is provided.

Google Analytics

Many Daniel Fries Music websites use Google Analytics. Google Analytics helps us understand website traffic, including pages visited, approximate location, device/browser information, and referral sources. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, or contact-form message contents to Google Analytics.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use Google services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google also provides a browser add-on for opting out of Google Analytics at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Embedded Services

Some pages may include embedded or linked third-party content, such as music players, maps, videos, review links, or related resources. These third parties may receive information such as your IP address, browser/device information, the page you visited, and interactions with the embedded content according to their own privacy policies.

Cookie Choices and Browser Privacy Signals

You can usually configure your browser to block, delete, or limit cookies. Blocking some cookies or scripts may affect contact forms, spam protection, media players, maps, videos, or other site features.

Where legally required, and where technically supported by the tools on a site, we will honor applicable browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for activities that constitute a sale or sharing of personal information under applicable privacy law.

At this time, our intent is not to sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Service Providers and Sharing

We may use trusted service providers for website hosting and security, domain and DNS services, contact-form processing, email delivery and hosting, analytics, spam prevention, embedded media, customer inquiry review, business operations, and contract, scheduling, or payment administration when applicable.

We may share information with musicians, contractors, venues, planners, or other event contacts when needed to plan or perform a service; with service providers who help operate our websites and business systems; to comply with legal obligations; or to protect our rights, safety, property, clients, websites, or business operations.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as that term is commonly used in California privacy law.

Text Messages and Phone Calls

If you provide a phone number, we may call or text you about your inquiry, quote, booking, event logistics, or related follow-up. Message and data rates may apply. You can ask us to stop texting you at any time.

Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, managing contracts, complying with legal and tax obligations, and improving our services. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed.

Your Choices and California Privacy Notice

You may ask us to update, correct, or delete inquiry information, subject to legal, tax, accounting, contract, security, and legitimate business record needs. California residents may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
