Privacy Policy

This website (scififunk.com) is operated by Scifi Funk.

I take privacy seriously and aim to collect as little personal data as possible, only where it is genuinely required for the operation of the site.

What data is collected

Personal data is collected only when you choose to provide it. This may include:

• Your email address
• The content of messages you send via contact or enquiry forms
• Basic technical information such as IP address and browser details (via standard server logs)

I do not operate user accounts, subscriptions, advertising systems, or behavioural tracking.

Session-based site functionality

This site uses session-based browser storage (such as session variables or sessionStorage) to support essential website features.

These session variables are used solely to enable interactive functionality, such as shortlisting tracks or temporarily reordering content during your visit.

• No marketing or advertising data is stored
• No profiling or behavioural tracking is performed
• Session data expires automatically when you close your browser
• No data is persisted across browsing sessions

Because this storage is strictly necessary for core site operation and does not involve tracking, consent banners are not required.

How and why data is used

Any personal data you provide is used only for the specific purpose for which it was supplied:

• Responding to enquiries
• Discussing licensing or sync requests
• Providing information you explicitly request

You will not be added to mailing lists or receive ongoing communications unless you explicitly request this.

Lawful basis for processing

Under UK and EU GDPR, personal data is processed on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interest – responding to direct enquiries
• Consent – where you explicitly request follow-up communication

Third-party services

This website links to or embeds content from third-party services, including:

• YouTube (video embeds)
• Bandcamp (music playback and purchase links)
• Spotify (external links)
• Google Search Console (site indexing and operational diagnostics)

These services operate under their own privacy policies. Scifi Funk does not control data collected by third parties.

Cookies

This site does not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies for analytics or marketing.

Some third-party services or your browser may set basic cookies required for media playback or core functionality. These are not controlled by Scifi Funk.

How long data is kept

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to respond to enquiries or meet legal obligations. Old correspondence is periodically reviewed and deleted.

Your rights

Under UK and EU data protection law, you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
