Effective date: September 15, 2025

Anakai Music LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit anakaimusic.com (the “Site”) and when you submit contact or event details through our online form. “Anakai” refers to the primary performer associated with Anakai Music LLC.

By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who we are and how to reach us

  • Controller: Anakai Music LLC (performing as “Anakai”), United States.
  • Contact method: Online form only at anakaimusic.com. We do not publish an email address or phone number to reduce spam and fraud via text and email. If you need support or wish to exercise your privacy rights, use the online form and we’ll respond there.

(If you require a mailing address for rights requests, please submit a note via the form and we will provide it.)

2. What we collect

Information you provide (via our form):

  • Contact details (e.g., name, email address, phone number if you choose to provide it).
  • Event details (e.g., venue, location, date/time, budget or fee expectations, organizer name, message content, and any materials you choose to share).

Information collected automatically (when you browse the Site):

  • Basic technical data from your browser/device (e.g., IP address, device type, pages viewed, timestamps, approximate location).
  • Cookies and similar technologies used for site functionality and basic analytics (see “Cookies & analytics”).

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information. Please avoid including sensitive data in free-text fields.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and manage bookings (e.g., discuss event details, issue contracts/invoices).
  • Promote future events and updates related to Anakai (e.g., newsletters or announcements) consistent with your choices (opt-in/opt-out).
  • Operate, secure, and improve the Site, including troubleshooting and analytics.
  • Comply with legal obligations (e.g., accounting and tax records).

We do not share your information with third parties for their own marketing. We may email you about future shows, releases, or news. You can opt out at any time by using an unsubscribe link or by telling us via the form.

4. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where the GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process your information based on:

  • Consent (e.g., sending marketing emails).
  • Contract (e.g., discussing or performing a booking).
  • Legitimate interests (e.g., responding to messages, maintaining Site security and basic analytics).
  • Legal obligation (e.g., tax/record-keeping).

You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Cookies & analytics

We use only the cookies necessary to run the Site and perform basic, first-party analytics to understand aggregate traffic and improve the Site. We do not use cross-site targeted advertising cookies. You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies; some features may not work properly if you do.

If we later add third-party analytics or additional cookies (for example, anti-spam tools), we will update this Policy and (where required) request your consent.

6. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information and do not share it with third parties for their independent marketing.

We may disclose information to service providers that help us operate the Site and our business (e.g., web hosting, email/newsletter delivery, form processing, security). These providers process data only under our instructions and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a limited business transition (e.g., appointing a manager or agent), with appropriate safeguards.

7. Data retention

  • Inquiries and event details: retained for up to 24 months after our last interaction unless you ask us to delete them sooner (unless legal obligations require longer).
  • Booking/transaction records: retained as required by law (typically 5–7 years, depending on jurisdiction).

When retention ends, we delete or anonymize the data.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent (for marketing) without affecting prior lawful processing.
  • Data portability (where applicable).
  • Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, submit a request via the online form at anakaimusic.com. We may need to verify your identity.

California privacy notice

We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA), and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information to infer characteristics. California residents can request access, correction, or deletion via the online form. You may use an authorized agent, subject to verification requirements.

9. Children’s privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in some locations). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided us information, please contact us through the form so we can delete it.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. International transfers

If you are outside the country where we operate, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries that may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” above shows when it was last revised. If we make material changes, we will post a notice on the Site and/or contact you where required.
