How your information is handled.

This privacy policy explains what information is collected when you visit julieschatzmusic.com or submit an inquiry through one of the booking forms, why it is collected, how long it is kept, and how to request deletion.

This site is operated by Julie Schatz Music LLC, based in Brooklyn, New York. For questions about anything in this policy, contact: bookings@julieschatzmusic.com.

What is collected

1 · Information you provide directly

When you submit a booking inquiry through any of the forms on this site, you actively share the following:

• Your name and email address
• Phone number, event date, venue, and city
• Guest count and selected service or package
• How you heard about Julie (optional)
• The free-text message describing your event
• Your explicit consent to be contacted about your inquiry

2 · Technical information collected automatically

When you submit a form, the site's own form handler receives it and the following technical metadata is captured for security and fraud-prevention purposes:

• Your IP address
• Your browser type and version (user agent)
• The page you submitted from and timestamp of submission
• The first page you visited on the site and the website that sent you there (for example a search engine or an AI assistant such as ChatGPT), so Julie knows how you found her

This information is used solely to detect and block spam, abuse, and fraudulent inquiries. It is not used for advertising, marketing, or third-party data sharing.

3 · Analytics and advertising measurement

This site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages and tools lead to inquiries, and the Meta Pixel to measure the results of Julie's advertising on Facebook and Instagram. Both may set cookies and receive information about your visit, such as pages viewed and whether a form was submitted. When you submit a form, Meta may also receive a scrambled (hashed) version of your email address or phone number so the inquiry can be matched to an ad; it is not readable as your actual email or number. These services are governed by Google's privacy policy and Meta's privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on and manage Meta ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram settings.

Embedded players from Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Vimeo may set their own cookies when you interact with them; please refer to those services' privacy policies for details.

How information is used

• To respond to your inquiry. Julie reads each inquiry personally and replies by email or phone, typically within 24 hours.
• To prepare a tailored proposal. Venue, date, guest count, and service selection inform your quote.
• To detect and block fraudulent inquiries. IP and timing metadata are reviewed when an inquiry shows signs of being a scam attempt.

How long it is kept

Inquiry submissions are kept in Julie's email inbox as part of her business records, and in the logs of the email delivery service for a limited time. You can request deletion at any time (see below).

Who has access

Inquiry data is accessible to Julie Schatz directly and to the service providers that run the site: Vercel (hosting), Resend (delivers the inquiry email to Julie and your confirmation email), and Formspree (backup form processing, used only if email delivery fails). Your information is not sold, traded, or shared with any other party.

Your rights

You can request the following at any time by emailing bookings@julieschatzmusic.com:

• Access: a copy of the inquiry data you've submitted
• Correction: any factual errors fixed
• Deletion: your inquiry and associated metadata removed from records
• Withdrawal of consent: opt out of further communication regarding your inquiry

Requests are typically processed within 30 days.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and inquiries are not knowingly accepted from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated occasionally to reflect changes in services or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will not be applied retroactively to inquiries already submitted under a prior version of this policy.
