Bonus track · The tiny type on the back of the box
The small print
The legal bit, in plain English. Short version: I collect very little, I don't track you, and there are no cookies on this tape.
The short version
- No cookies, no analytics, no ads and no tracking.
- I only collect what you choose to send me: a request or a fan-mail note.
- Requests come straight to my inbox, on Google Workspace. Fan-mail notes are stored in the EU, on Amazon Web Services in Ireland.
- I never sell it or add you to a mailing list.
Privacy notice
Who's responsible
This site is run by me, Adam Murray, in London, UK. I'm the data controller for anything you send through it. To ask about your data, email adam@adammurray.ca.
What I collect, and why
| What | Why | Legal basis | How long I keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Requests (the form or an email): your name, email, request type and message | To reply, and to talk about working together | Legitimate interests: you asked me to get back to you | 12 months from our last contact, then deleted |
| Fan mail: your name, place and note | To publish your note on the Fan mail page, if I approve it | Consent: you choose to send it | Published notes: until you ask me to remove them. Notes I don't publish: deleted within 12 months |
| Spam protection: the IP address you send a form from | To stop spam and keep the forms usable | Legitimate interests: keeping the forms usable | About two minutes, then deleted automatically |
| Tape counter: a running count of page plays | For fun | No personal data is involved | Kept as a single number |
| Server logs: none. I don't switch on access logs. Amazon Web Services sees your IP address to deliver each page, as any web host does | To deliver the site | Legitimate interests: running a website | Not kept by me |
Who helps me run it
Amazon Web Services hosts the site, runs the forms, delivers requests to my inbox and stores fan-mail notes, all in its Ireland region in the EU, acting as my data processor. The UK recognises the EU as giving adequate protection for personal data. Email to adam@adammurray.ca is handled by Google Workspace, also as my data processor. Google may process email outside the UK; when it does, it's covered by the safeguards in Google's data processing terms. Nothing is sold, shared for marketing, or used to make automated decisions about you.
Your rights
You can ask me to show you what I hold about you, correct it, delete it, stop using it, or give you a copy. You can withdraw consent for a fan-mail note at any time, and I'll take it down. Email me and I'll reply within one month.
If you're unhappy with how I've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk (opens in a new tab).
Storage on your device
This site doesn't use cookies. When you press Flip, your browser remembers which side you chose (Side A, Side B, or a secret Side C if you find it) as a single value called am-side in its local storage. It's only used to show the site the way you picked it, and it never leaves your device.
UK law allows this kind of storage, for remembering how you like a site to look, without asking first, as long as I tell you about it and you can switch it off. To switch it off, press the button below and the site will follow your device's light or dark setting again.
The fonts are served from this site too, so no other company sees your visit.
