Privacy Policy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 25, 2026

Welcome to pwkimbrell.com. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit my website or purchase my original guitar instrumentals. It also describes the limited cookies used on the site.

I am committed to protecting your privacy. I collect only the minimum information needed to process your purchases and deliver your downloads.

1. Information I Collect

When you visit pwkimbrell.com or make a purchase, I may collect:

  • Purchase Information: Song titles you buy, purchase amount, date/time, and transaction details (handled securely by PayPal).
  • Payment and Delivery Information: Processed entirely by PayPal. If you choose “Pay as Guest,” you provide billing details directly to PayPal.
  • Basic Technical Information: IP address, browser type, and device information (automatically logged for security and troubleshooting).
  • Contact Information (if you use any contact form): Name and email address.

I do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health information, biometric data, or precise geolocation) beyond what is strictly needed for the transaction.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use the information solely to:

  • Process your payment and deliver instant digital downloads of the songs you purchase.
  • Provide customer support if you have questions about a purchase or download.
  • Maintain basic site security and prevent fraud.
  • Comply with legal obligations (such as sales tax reporting in Texas).

I do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

  • PayPal: Handles all payments securely. PayPal may collect additional information as described in their Privacy Policy.
  • Amazon S3: Stores and delivers your purchased song files after successful payment. Amazon’s privacy practices are described in the Amazon Privacy Notice.
  • WP eStore and 10Web Plugins: Power the shopping system, forms (if any), and site performance. These plugins set limited session cookies needed for the purchase and download process to function correctly.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services.

4. Cookies Used on This Site

This site uses only strictly necessary cookies to enable core functionality (secure checkout, session management, and instant downloads). No analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies are used.

  • PayPal / DataDome Cookies (e.g., ddall) Set by PayPal for security and bot protection during checkout. These help prevent fraud and ensure safe payment processing, including the “Pay as Guest” option. Duration: 1 day
  • WP eStore & 10Web Cookies (e.g., fm_cookie_* with various hashes) First-party cookies set by the shopping system and 10Web plugins. They maintain session state, ensure purchases and instant downloads work properly, prevent caching issues, and support any contact forms. Duration: Up to 1 month

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from completing purchases or receiving downloads.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You may request to access, correct, or delete the limited personal information I hold about you by contacting me directly. Because this is a very small site with minimal data collection, responses are handled manually.

Texas residents have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), but as a small hobby project, many requirements do not apply. I still aim for transparency and will respond to reasonable requests.

6. Data Retention

I retain purchase records only as long as needed for tax reporting (Texas sales tax), accounting, and customer support — typically up to 4–7 years as required by law. Download links expire after a reasonable period for security.

7. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your information, including using secure third-party services (PayPal and Amazon S3) for payments and file delivery. However, no system is completely secure.

8. Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted here with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact Me

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, or your data, please contact me.

Thank you for supporting independent music and for respecting my work!
