Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses Google reCAPTCHA to help protect the contact form from spam, automated submissions, and abuse.

Google reCAPTCHA analyses visitor interactions with the website to determine whether requests are made by a human or an automated system. This process may collect technical information, including:

This website includes embedded Spotify players to allow visitors to listen to James Williams' music.

When interacting with the Spotify player, Spotify may collect technical information such as:

• IP address
• Browser and device information
• Cookies and similar technologies
• Usage information and interaction patterns

The Spotify embedded player operates within an iframe and may set third-party cookies within the open.spotify.com domain for essential functionality, session management, and analytics purposes. These cookies are set directly by Spotify, not by this website.

This information is collected directly by Spotify and is handled in accordance with Spotify's Privacy Policy.

Cookies

This website does not use cookies for advertising, marketing, or tracking purposes.

However, third-party services used by this website, including Google reCAPTCHA and the Spotify embedded player, may use cookies or similar technologies as part of their normal operation. These third-party cookies are set within their own domains and are governed by their respective privacy policies.

Contact form submissions are securely stored using Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure located in Australia.

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, including:

• Encryption of stored data (encryption at rest).
• Restricting access to authorised personnel only.
• Applying appropriate security practices for cloud-hosted infrastructure.

While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Your personal information may only be disclosed:

• To trusted service providers required to operate this website, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google reCAPTCHA, and Spotify where applicable.
• Where disclosure is required or authorised by Australian law.

Contact form submissions are stored in Australia using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Some third-party services used by this website, including Google reCAPTCHA and Spotify, may process certain technical information on servers located outside Australia in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:

• Respond to enquiries.
• Maintain records of communications.
• Comply with legal or business obligations.

When personal information is no longer required, reasonable steps are taken to securely delete or de-identify the information.

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
• Make a complaint if you believe your privacy has been breached.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
