We respect your privacy. This notice explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, and your choices. We follow UK/EU GDPR principles.
1) What we collect
Contact messages – Name, email, and any information you include when you contact us.
Email sign-ups (“Experiencers” group) – First name (optional) and email address; consent preference; timestamps.
Purchase information (via Bandcamp) – If you buy on Bandcamp, Bandcamp processes your order and payment data. We may receive limited order info (e.g., name, email, items purchased, country) so we can understand sales and, if you opt in, communicate with you. We do not process or store card details on this Site.
Usage data – IP address, device/browser info, pages viewed, and referrers collected by our hosting and basic analytics/caching tools for security and performance.
Cookies & similar tech – See “Cookies” below. Bandcamp and audio embeds may place their own cookies.
We do not intentionally collect special category data or data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided data, email info@thewheelman.space

2) How we use your data (purposes + legal bases)

3) Who processes your data (service providers)
We use trusted processors to run the Site and email:

Web hosting (Hostinger or equivalent) – serves the Site and stores server logs.
WordPress plugins such as AudioIgniter (for previews/players). Embeds may load content from third parties.
These providers only process data on our instructions and under appropriate terms. Some services may transfer data outside the UK/EU using safeguards such as the EU/UK Standard Contractual Clauses.
4) Data retention
Contact emails: up to 24 months after last contact.
Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or we remove inactive contacts.
Order-related info (from Bandcamp): as long as needed for support, accounting, and legal obligations.

You can:

6) Cookies
We use essential cookies to run the Site and may use analytics/performance cookies to understand usage. Third-party embeds (e.g., Bandcamp players) can set their own cookies and collect usage data according to their policies.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures (HTTPS, access controls, reputable providers) to protect your data. No online service is 100% secure.
8) Third-party links
Our Site links to other websites (e.g., Bandcamp). Their privacy practices are their own; review their privacy notices before providing data.
