Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how devinthedude.com ("the Site," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit or use this website.

This policy applies to the features and content currently offered on the Site. The exact information collected depends on which features you use.

2. Information We May Collect

We may collect information in the following categories. The information we actually collect depends on how you use the Site.

• Name, email address, and mailing-list signup information you voluntarily provide
• Contact form submissions and booking or business inquiry information
• Merchandise or order information, if direct ecommerce is enabled later
• IP address, browser and device type, operating system, and referring URL
• Pages viewed, approximate geographic area, and interaction/usage information
• Cookie identifiers and analytics data collected automatically

3. Smoke Signal / Email List

When you voluntarily join the Smoke Signal List, we may collect your email address and related signup data.

We use this information to send artist announcements, new music, tour and show announcements, merchandise and drop notifications, Good Coughee-related links or announcements when appropriate, and other Devin the Dude news.

You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in marketing emails. We do not sell your email address to third parties.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The Site may use cookies, local storage, analytics tools, or similar technologies for site functionality, remembering preferences, analytics, performance, security, measuring traffic, and understanding visitor behavior. We may use third-party analytics providers. The specific tools used depend on current configuration.

5. Music and Media Embeds

The Site may embed or link to third-party music and media platforms, including services such as Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Instagram, and other streaming or social platforms.

These companies may collect data when their content is loaded or interacted with. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and devinthedude.com does not control their data collection.

6. Instagram / Social Content

Social feeds, posts, embeds, or outbound links may connect you with external platforms. Those platforms may collect data independently and are governed by their own privacy policies.

7. Events and Ticketing

devinthedude.com may display show information sourced from public event platforms, venues, promoters, and ticket providers. Clicking Tickets, RSVP, Venue, Event Source, or similar buttons may take you to third-party websites. Ticketing and payment information handled by those external services is governed by their own policies.

8. Good Coughee / External Commerce

The Site may link to Good Coughee and other affiliated or external properties. Links to https://goodcoughee.com/ should be treated as external website links.

External purchases are processed by the external website. devinthedude.com does not necessarily receive or store payment-card information, and external sites maintain their own terms and privacy policies.

9. Payment Information

Unless a direct checkout feature is enabled, devinthedude.com does not currently process direct payment-card information through the main website. If direct ecommerce is later activated, the policy will reflect the configured payment processors. We never store credit-card information locally unless a checkout feature explicitly does so.

10. How Information Is Used

We use collected information to operate and maintain the website, provide requested features, respond to inquiries, send opted-in communications, maintain security, prevent abuse, improve site performance, understand site usage, promote music, shows, products, and artist projects, and comply with legal obligations.

11. How Information May Be Shared

We may share information with infrastructure and hosting providers, email service providers, analytics providers, security and fraud-prevention providers, payment processors when applicable, service providers necessary to run the website, authorities when legally required, and successor entities in a business transfer if applicable. We do not sell personal information for money.

12. Data Retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for providing services, maintaining business records, meeting legal and compliance obligations, maintaining security, and resolving disputes.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

14. Children

The Site is not directed toward children under 13 and does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13. If we discover that information has been collected improperly, you may request its removal by contacting us.

15. US State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, residents of certain US states may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out rights where applicable. We do not claim the Site is legally subject to every state privacy statute.

16. International Users

The Site is operated from the United States, and information may be processed in the United States or other locations where service providers operate.

17. Third-Party Links

devinthedude.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
