Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 10/3/2026

Welcome to Squirrel Records (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data we process. This Privacy Policy outlines how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit our website (the “Site”).

Our Site is an informational website built and hosted using the IONOS Website Builder. We do not offer user accounts or member registrations, and you do not need to register or log in to view our content.

1. Hosting and Infrastructure (IONOS)

Our website is built using the IONOS Website Builder and hosted on servers provided by:

IONOS SE

Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

(or IONOS Inc., 222 S Riverside Plaza, Suite 2800, Chicago, IL 60606, USA)

When you visit our Site, IONOS servers automatically record standard connection and technical data in server log files, including:

Your IP address (anonymized or truncated where applicable)

Browser type and version

Operating system

Referrer URL (the page you visited immediately prior)

Date and time of the server request

Purpose & Legal Basis: IONOS processes this technical data to ensure stable hosting, deliver page assets securely, maintain system performance, and detect or defend against network threats (such as DDoS attacks).

2. Information You Provide Voluntarily

Because our site does not use registrations or member logins, we collect personal data only when you choose to provide it:

Contact Inquiries: If you reach out to us via an embedded contact form or email link, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Usage: We use this information solely to review, respond to, and resolve your inquiry. We do not add your details to marketing distribution lists without your clear permission.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, scripts, and local storage to deliver a functional website, analyze aggregate performance, and support external audio widgets:

Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required for basic navigation, security, and responsive layouts managed by IONOS.

Analytics Cookies: Help us understand overall visitor volume and page performance.

Third-Party / Media Cookies: Placed by third-party services (such as Spotify) when embedded widgets or media players are loaded on a page.

You can adjust your browser settings to reject or delete cookies, or manage your preferences via our cookie banner. Disabling third-party cookies may affect the interactive playback features of embedded media.

4. Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

A. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (or Google Ireland Limited for visitors in the EEA/UK), to monitor and improve website usability.

Data Collected: Pages viewed, duration of visit, device type, browser information, referral sources, and approximate geographic location (country/city level).

IP Anonymization: We implement IP anonymization/masking (anonymizeIp). Your IP address is truncated prior to storage and analysis, preventing direct personal identification.

Opt-Out: You can opt out of analytics tracking by rejecting analytics cookies in our consent banner or by installing the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

B. Embedded Spotify Widgets

We embed audio players and widgets provided by Spotify (Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden / Spotify USA Inc., 4 World Trade Center, 150 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007, USA) so you can listen to music, podcasts, or playlists directly on our site.

Direct Connection: When you visit a page with an embedded Spotify widget, your browser establishes a direct connection with Spotify’s servers.

Data Transmitted: Spotify receives technical data that your device accessed our specific page, including your IP address, browser information, and timestamp.

Account Association: If you are currently logged into an active Spotify account, Spotify may link your interaction with the embedded player directly to your Spotify profile. To avoid this linkage, you can log out of your Spotify account before visiting our website.

Data Protection & Privacy: For further details on how Spotify collects, handles, and protects your information, please visit the Spotify Privacy Policy.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Data is shared only with:

Service & Infrastructure Providers: IONOS (web hosting), Google (traffic analytics), and Spotify (embedded media players), strictly for the purposes described above.

Legal Compliance: In the event of a valid court order, legal process, or lawful request from public authorities.

Safety & Security: Where necessary to protect our legal rights, investigate fraud, or maintain site safety.

6. Data Retention

Inquiry Messages: Retained only for as long as needed to handle your request or satisfy applicable statutory retention periods.

Analytics Data: Retained in accordance with Google Analytics data retention settings (typically configured between 2 and 14 months) before being purged automatically.

Server Logs: Retained and deleted on automated schedules managed by IONOS in line with hosting security standards.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as GDPR/UK GDPR in Europe or applicable state privacy statutes in the United States), you may have the right to:

Access any personal data we hold about you.

Request the correction or deletion of your information.

Withdraw consent for optional cookies or analytics at any time.

Object to or restrict specific data processing activities.

Because we do not maintain accounts or customer profiles, we may ask for additional confirmation to identify your communications before processing a request.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.

8. Links to External Websites

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or compliance of external websites.
