Thank you for taking the time to read our Privacy Policy. 

 

Our key message to you about data and privacy

We love telling you about our music projects, we love it when you subscribe to our newsletter, we love it when you come to our free shows, we love it when you buy tickets to our ticketed shows, we love it when you buy something from our Shop, and we really love it when you come say 'hi' at a show.

 

To help us achieve these goals, we create and manage this website, and associated advertising.

 

Like most websites and ads, our website and ads collect and store data.  We'll only ever use the data that is collected to achieve our musical goals.  

 

We use reputable website and advertising companies who we expect to engage in professional and ethical data collection and protection practices. 

 

For further detail, read on, dear friends!

 

General

markmorand.com is hosted by Wix.com. Any information collected on markmorand.com is stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.

 

Some information is also emailed to us on email systems including Gmail and Hotmail.  For example, if you fill out our 'Subscribe' form, the email address you give us is stored on the Wix database, but they also send us and automated email telling us that you have subscribed, and that email includes the email address you have given us.  Pretty harmless, but we thought we'd mention it anyway.

 

Cookies

markmorand.com uses cookies that are determined by Wix.com.  You can read about the Wix cookie system here.

​

Our 'Subscribe' form 

We store email addresses you enter into our “Subscribe” form.  We'll use that email address to send you our newsletter.  If you are an industry person, and if we understand who you are, we may use your email address to send you media releases and other industry-specific communications.

 

We may also populate your first and last name if that is deducible from your email address.  For example if your email address is max.webb@domain.com we will assume that your name is Max Webb, and record that on the Wix database, to allow us to personalise our newsletter and other communications.

​

Information created by systems

The Wix platform collects the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet. It measures and collects session information including page response times, length of visits to pages, page interaction, and methods used to browse away from the page.  This is all de-identified and statistical, and provided to us automatically.  We look at it because we're interested in understanding statistically how many people are visiting us, which pages they visit, how long they stay and so forth. 

​

Analytics and Advertising

We use the Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta Ads platforms as part of our business.   Those platforms may also collect information about your internet browsing and so on.  The information is not provided to us directly, but it enables the platforms to better design and target our advertising.  For example, if Meta knows that you were interested in one of our ads, it becomes more likely that you will see other ads from us.

​​
Our Shop

The Shop on this website is a standard third-party ecommerce platform enabled by Wix.  All the money stuff is handled by reputable global financial companies like Stripe and Paypal.  If your purchase something, we certainly don't receive your credit card information or anything like that.

​

If you do purchase something from us we may receive some information that you have put into the form.  For example, we may receive your address to enable us to ship the item to you.  That maks sense!​

Thank you

Thanks for reading our Policy.  Now let's get back to the music!
