Privacy Policy

Who I Am

I'm Shaun Conrad — performing as Shaun Soulo. This site, shaunsoulo.com, is my personal artist portfolio, run from Johannesburg, South Africa. This policy explains what information this site collects and what happens with it.

What I Collect

Depending on how you interact with this site, I may collect:

• Email address and name — when you subscribe to my mailing list or fill in a contact form
• Contact form messages — the content of what you send through the contact page
• Basic analytics data — pages visited, approximate region, browser type, and device type; collected in aggregate, not tied to individuals

No payment information is collected or processed on this site.

Why I Collect It

Your email and name exist for one reason: to send you the correspondence you signed up for — updates on new music, shows, and releases. Contact form data is used only to reply to your message. Analytics are read in aggregate to understand how the site is actually used. Nothing here is sold to third parties or shared with advertisers.

Third Parties

Several external services are part of how this site functions. Each operates under its own privacy policy and may set cookies or process data on its own infrastructure:

• Brevo — handles mailing list delivery and email dispatch
• Google reCAPTCHA — filters spam on forms; Google may collect interaction data as part of this service
• YouTube — hosts embedded video content; Google may set cookies when videos load or play
• Site analytics — basic traffic measurement; data is anonymised at the point of collection

Cookies

Essential cookies handle basic site function — session state, spam filtering on forms, and preference storage. Non-essential cookies come from embedded third-party services: YouTube sets cookies when a video loads or plays, reCAPTCHA sets one when a form renders, and analytics may place a tracking cookie.

You can decline non-essential cookies via the cookie notice shown on your first visit. Declining won't break core site features, though some embedded content may require a click-through before loading.

Your Rights

Under POPIA (South Africa) and the GDPR (European Union), you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal information I hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, reach me through the contact page and I'll respond as promptly as I can.

Data Retention

I hold information only as long as it serves the purpose it was collected for. Mailing list subscribers are retained until they unsubscribe — which can be done at any time via the link in any email I send. Contact form messages are kept for correspondence purposes and periodically cleared. Analytics data is anonymous and aggregated from the moment of collection.

Contact

Any privacy question or request should come through the contact page. I'll get back to you directly.
