About Data Privacy On This Site

The laws concerning data privacy of the country where I live require that a statement about data privacy conformance be visible on this site. The new law comes into effect on Sept. 1, 2023:

No personally identifiable information (PII) or data about any visitors to this site of any kind is ever collected by me or the shared-hosting provider of this site except for the server logs of the hosting service used for this website which store only the IP address of each HTTP(S) request. This is a technical necessity and is not personally-related data. The server logs are never communicated to any third-party unless required by law at the specific request of the applicable law-enforcement agencies;

There are no cookies used by this site except for the single PHP “session_id” cookie which is necessary for using the contact page. This is not stored anywhere except for the single session in which it is used, and there is never any connection made between that session ID and the IP address of the request origin. The entire site, except for the contact page, is fully functional even if you have turned off cookies in your browser;

The message and email address entered by you, should you take advantage of the contact page, is sent immediately by the PHP 'mail()' function to the recipient's email address which is not visible from this website for privacy reasons. This data is never stored and is not retrievable after the message has been sent;

Any links to external websites will open in a new browser tab or page, and this removes our control over the user session at that external site. The persons and/or entities responsible for the content at the website at “https://sandragoldbergmusic.com” are not liable for any issues which might arise in connection with visiting such external sites. In particular, the owner of “https://sandragoldbergmusic.com” is not liable for the content displayed by any external site when clicking on those links.
