Privacy Policy
BrazilianFunk.com is an independently operated music directory. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.
What we collect
Contact form submissions. When you use our contact form we collect the name, email address, enquiry type, subject and message you provide, plus the time of submission. We use this only to read and respond to your enquiry.
Administrator accounts. Site administrators sign in to manage the directory. Their authentication data is handled by our backend provider and is never exposed publicly.
Technical logs. Our hosting and backend providers process standard request data such as IP address and browser user agent for security, abuse prevention and reliability.
What we do not do
We do not sell personal data, and we do not require an account to browse the site. We do not embed advertising trackers, and the directory itself works without you providing any personal information at all.
Third parties
Artist links point to Spotify. When you follow one, Spotify’s own privacy policy and cookies apply — we have no control over and no visibility into what happens after you leave this site. We use Spotify’s public web API to retrieve artist metadata such as official profile URLs; this happens server-side and involves no personal data about you.
Our site is served by a hosting provider and our data is stored with a managed database provider. Both process data on our behalf under their own security terms.
Retention and your rights
Contact submissions are kept only as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any follow-up, then deleted. You can ask us at any time for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it.
To make a request, use the contact form and select “Privacy enquiry”. We aim to respond within 30 days.
Children
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site develops. Material changes will be reflected on this page. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
