Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how this website collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit and interact with it. The site serves as a professional showcase for the musical work and Mixcloud shows of DJ Rudy.

We are fully committed to protecting your privacy and processing all personal data transparently and securely in line with data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR).

1. Important Information and Who We Are

For the purpose of data protection laws, the data controller for this website is Rudy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact us using the details below:

  • Contact Name: Rudy
  • Email Address: Use Contact Form on the website

2. The Data We Collect About You

Personal data means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. Because this website is a simple showcase, we collect very little data. We process data in the following two categories:

Communication Data

This includes your name, email address, and any information you voluntarily provide if you fill out our secure online contact form.

Technical and Usage Data

This includes your internet protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, and anonymous details about how you interact with the website (such as pages visited).

Listening to Mixcloud Shows

You can stream and listen to the embedded Mixcloud shows on this website freely without logging in or creating an account. Please note that the embedded player is powered by Mixcloud. Interacting with the player may allow Mixcloud to collect data according to their own privacy rules. We do not control or access that data.

3. How Your Data Is Collected

We use different methods to collect data from and about you:

Direct Interaction

You explicitly provide your Communication Data to us when you fill in the contact form or email us directly.

Automated Technologies

As you move through the site, we automatically collect Technical and Usage Data via website analytics tools and essential functional cookies.

4. How and Why We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal foundations:

To Respond to Enquiries

Purpose: To reply to messages sent via the contact form (e.g., booking enquiries).
Lawful Basis: Legitimate Interests (it is necessary for our business to respond to your requests).

To Improve the Website

Purpose: To monitor website traffic and ensure the site displays correctly on your device.
Lawful Basis: Consent (for non-essential analytics tracking) or Legitimate Interests (for essential site functionality).

5. Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users and to help us understand how people use the site.

Essential Cookies

These are required for the safe and secure operation of the website (such as protecting our contact form).

Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to measure website traffic and performance. This data is aggregated and anonymised before we see it.

You can choose to accept or reject analytics cookies via the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit the site. No analytics cookies will load until you give explicit consent.

6. Data Security

We have put strong security measures in place to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, or accessed without authorisation.

All communications between your web browser and our website are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology (look for the padlock symbol in your browser bar). Form submissions are transferred and stored securely.

7. Data Retention

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including satisfying any legal or reporting requirements.

Contact Form Submissions

Kept for up to 12 months after our last communication with you, unless you request earlier deletion.

Analytics Data

Anonymised website metrics are retained by our analytics provider for a maximum of 14 months.

8. Your Legal Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have explicit rights regarding your personal data. You have the right to:

  • Request Access: Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request Correction: Ask us to fix any inaccurate or incomplete details.
  • Request Erasure: Ask us to permanently delete your personal data from our systems.
  • Object to Processing: Object to us processing your data under certain conditions.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us directly at the address listed in Section 1. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days, completely free of charge.

9. Third-Party Links

This website contains links to third-party platforms (such as Rudy's official social media profiles or Mixcloud). Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements.

10. Making a Complaint

You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us first.
