1. SCOPE AND CONTACT

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected by the Jeremiah Daly Music group on websites (including mobile sites and apps) which link to this Privacy Policy, via registration forms, surveys, online learning tools, competition entries, at events (including awards),  if you contact us (online, by post, telephone or social media) and in the course of providing our services.

Jeremiah Daly Music is made up of several different legal entities for our different markets and brands. This Privacy Policy is issued on behalf of the Jeremiah Daly Music group so when we mention “Jeremiah Daly Music”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to the relevant company in the Jeremiah Daly Music responsible for processing your personal data (being the “data controller”) as set out below:

  • With the exception of editorial surveys and surveys issued in connection with our sponsored reports, we manage all surveys and competitions centrally so, if you participate in these surveys or competitions, the data controller of your personal data will be Jeremiah Daly Music. Editorial surveys and surveys issued in connection with our sponsored research reports are managed by our brands, meaning that, if you participate in these, the data controller will be the relevant brand company, as set out in the list above, who has issued the survey or competition.
  • If you otherwise contact us or interact with us the data controller of your personal data will be Jeremiah Daly Music.

Your privacy is very important to us and this Privacy Policy sets out how we will process your personal data and what rights you have in respect of your own personal data. We will securely store and process personal data which you have provided to us.

The aim of this Privacy Policy is to tell you how we will use any personal data we collect or you provide to us. Please read it carefully before you proceed.
