3.0 Personal information that this website collects and why we collect it. This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
3.1 Site visitation tracking
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction.
We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to track their journey through the website.
Although GA records data such as your approximate geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us.
GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google does not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 6.0 below).
GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google’s developer guides.
For your information, our website uses the Wix implementation of GA.
Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages on this website.

Should you choose to contact us using an email link like this: info@thegroovemusichall.com
none of the data that you supply will be stored by this website or passed to/be processed only by any of the third party data processors defined in section 6.0 below.
Instead, the data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) meaning that the email content is encrypted using SHA-2, 256-bit cryptography before being sent across the internet. The email content is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.
3.3 Contact Forms
Should you choose to contact us using the contact form on our Site or Contact Us pages the email address that you submit to us will be stored in our Wix website platform in the 'Contacts' database, which we use when contacting you.

The email address that you submit will be stored within this website’s own database but not in any of our internal computer systems.
Your email address will remain within the Wix 'Contacts' database on our website for as long as we continue to use the Wix platform or until you specifically request removal from the list.
You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email info@thegroovemusichall.com
