PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 7 September 2026

This privacy policy explains how the official Sammy Ellis website (sammyellismusic.com) collects and uses personal information. Sammy Ellis is responsible for the personal information handled through this website.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you use the Contact page, we may collect your name, email address, organisation or outlet, type of enquiry and the message you choose to send. Squarespace may also collect technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited and cookie choices to operate, secure and measure the website.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We use contact-form information to read and respond to enquiries about press, interviews, radio, music, collaborations, bookings, events and general matters. We use limited technical information to keep the website secure, understand how it is used and improve its performance. We do not sell personal information.

LAWFUL BASES

Depending on the situation, we process information because it is necessary to respond to your request or take steps before entering an agreement, because we have a legitimate interest in managing genuine enquiries and operating a secure website, or because you have given consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

COOKIES AND ANALYTICS

This website uses essential cookies required for security and core functions. Non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies, are restricted until you make a choice through the cookie banner. You can accept, decline or manage cookies and change your choice later using Cookie Preferences.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The website is hosted by Squarespace. Embedded content and links may connect you to services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and social-media platforms. If you play embedded content or follow an external link, that provider may process information under its own privacy policy.

SHARING AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Information is shared only with service providers where needed to host, secure and operate the website or respond to your enquiry, or where required by law. Some providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where required, providers use recognised safeguards for international transfers.

HOW LONG WE KEEP INFORMATION

Contact enquiries are normally kept for no longer than 24 months after the last meaningful contact. Information may be retained for longer where necessary for an ongoing working relationship, to meet a legal obligation, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

YOUR RIGHTS

Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your information; restrict or object to its use; receive a portable copy; and withdraw consent. These rights depend on the circumstances and may be subject to legal exceptions. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

CONTACT

For a privacy request or question, please use the secure form on the Contact page and state that your message concerns privacy. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

This policy may be updated when the website, services or legal requirements change. The latest version will always appear on this page.
