Hi there!
If you want to read the boring mambo jumbo below, you can, but basically the short version is that I am only going to use your information to manage this Black Swan World community, contact you regarding your orders, or just to say hi, how are you, share updates about my music or upcoming events, etc.
My website might store cookies (because it gets hungry too :D) for your browser to optimize your online experience, like loading pages faster or remember what you put in the cart. I promise I’m not going to sell any of your details to any third party. And you are always free to unsubscribe at any time.
Although some of these apps and plugins I use will store your data as well, they have put in their disclaimer they won’t infringe on your privacy either.
So basically, we’ll try to keep it as simple and straightforward possible: you and me, direct line of communication. That’s it!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to shoot me a message.
Feel free to read below for more info.
By “we”, we refer to Our Company, Black Swan World llc.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it
