Live From The Casita · Mellow Minds Media

Last updated: [date].

Mellow Minds Media LLC, doing business as Live From The Casita (“we,” “us,” “our”), operates livefromthecasita.com (the “Site”) and the Live From The Casita Songwriter Search (the “Search”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you enter the Search or contact us, we collect the information you submit — typically your name, the name of your band or project, your email address, your phone number, a link to your song, and any social-media handles or other details you provide on the entry or contact form.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our analytics providers may collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and referring pages, using cookies and similar technologies. [We use Google Analytics for this purpose.]

How we use your information

We use the information to: administer and run the Search, including reviewing entries, selecting and contacting winners, and awarding prizes; respond to your messages; operate, maintain, and improve the Site; and — where you have opted in — send you updates, news, and promotional messages from Mellow Minds Media and Live From The Casita.

Marketing emails and your consent

We send marketing or promotional emails only to people who have opted in to receive them. Entering the Search does not by itself subscribe you to marketing; any marketing opt-in is separate and optional. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any marketing email, and we will stop. We may still send you non-promotional messages necessary to administer the Search (for example, to notify you that you have won).

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with: service providers who help us operate the Site and the Search (such as hosting, email, and analytics providers) under obligations of confidentiality; the judges of the Search, to evaluate entries; and others where required by law, to comply with legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property. If the winner is announced publicly, we will identify the winner consistent with the Official Rules.

Cookies and analytics

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for functionality and analytics. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. [If we use Google Analytics, you can learn about Google’s practices and opt out using Google’s available tools.]

Data retention

We keep entry and contact information for as long as needed to run the Search, meet our legal and tax obligations, and maintain our business records, and then delete or de-identify it.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at [email]. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, and we will honor those rights as required.

Children

The Site and the Search are intended for adults. The Search is open only to entrants 18 or older, and the Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party sites and services (such as social platforms and streaming services). We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date above.
