What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, ChrisCooperMusic.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. ChrisCooperMusic.com’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use this website. ChrisCooperMusic.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for the purpose of identifying and blocking hacking attempts on the website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to ChrisCooperMusic.com’s websites choose to interact with ChrisCooperMusic.com in ways that require ChrisCooperMusic.com to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that ChrisCooperMusic.com gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. ChrisCooperMusic.com does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
