My website is built and hosted on Wix.com, which automatically collects certain technical data.
This may include:

• IP address

• Device type and operating system

• Browser type

• Browsing activity on the site

​

3. Purpose of Processing

I process personal data for the following purposes:

• Responding to inquiries and managing bookings

• Providing musical services

• Communicating with you about your request

• Operating and improving the website (via Wix)

• Ensuring website security and performance

• Fulfilling legal or accounting obligations

I do not sell or share your personal data for advertising or unrelated purposes.

​

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies (Wix)

Wix uses cookies to ensure the website operates smoothly. These cookies may be:

• Essential cookies (for security, network stability, site functions)

• Functional cookies (e.g., remembering your preferences)

• Analytics cookies (general, non-personal statistics about site usage)

You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
Disabling cookies may affect website functionality.

If I enable additional tools such as Google Analytics, anonymization of IP addresses will be activated to meet Swiss and EU data-protection standards.
 

5. Data Sharing

I only share data when necessary to provide my services. Data may be shared with:

• Wix.com (website hosting, forms, analytics, security)

• Email service providers (to receive and send your messages)

These providers may be located in Switzerland, the EU, the UK, or the USA.
Wix ensures data protection through legally approved safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses), which meets Swiss requirements.

I do not share your data with advertisers, external marketers, or unrelated third parties.

​

6. Data Storage and Retention

• Booking and communication data: kept for as long as needed to manage the inquiry and fulfill legal obligations (e.g., up to 10 years for accounting-related information).

• Contact form messages: typically kept for up to 12 months.

• Technical data collected by Wix: retained according to Wix’s standard retention policies.

When data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized.

​

7. Data Security

I rely on Wix’s secure platform infrastructure and take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including:

• Encrypted website (HTTPS)

• Secure hosting by Wix

• Controlled access to accounts and data

No online transmission can be guaranteed absolutely secure, but reasonable industry-standard protections are applied.

​

8. Your Rights (Swiss revDPA & GDPR)

Depending on your country of residence, you may have the following rights:

• Right to request information about your personal data

• Right to rectification (correction)

• Right to deletion (where applicable)

• Right to object to certain processing

• Right to data portability (if technically feasible)

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at benjaminmcnamara01@gmail.com.
I may require proof of identity to process your request.

If you are not satisfied with my response, you may contact your local data protection authority.
In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (EDÖB).

9. International Transfers

Because Wix is a global company, data may be processed in countries without the same level of data protection as Switzerland or the EU.
Wix uses appropriate legal safeguards (including Standard Contractual Clauses), which comply with Swiss data-protection requirements.

​

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if required by law or if my website or data processes change. The latest version will always be published on this page.
