Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Song submissions. When you submit a song, we collect the song title, language, lyrics, and — if you choose to provide them — your name, email address and any note. Optional fields can be left blank.
• Log data. Like most websites, our servers automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited and timestamps. This is used for security, abuse prevention and diagnostics.
• Cookies. We use a strictly necessary cookie to keep administrators signed in to the admin area. We do not use this cookie to track ordinary visitors.

How we use information

• To review and publish song submissions.
• To operate, secure and improve the website.
• To respond to your enquiries and copyright or takedown notices.

We do not sell your personal information. We only contact submitters by email where it is necessary to discuss their submission.

Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small file stored on your device. We use cookies that are necessary for the site to function (for example, the admin session cookie). You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the admin area but not public browsing.

Advertising

We may display advertising provided by third-party vendors, including Google. These vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
• Learn more about how Google uses data and cookies in advertising at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Third-party services

We rely on reputable hosting and infrastructure providers to run the website and store our database. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments.

Data retention

We keep song submissions for as long as needed to review and, where appropriate, publish them, and to maintain the integrity of the collection. You may ask us to delete a submission and any personal details you provided.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@songsofbride.com.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
