Who we are
Our website address is: https://patriciahurlbutt.com
This website is operated by Patricia Hurlbutt.
If you have questions about this privacy policy or your personal data, you may contact us at: admin@patriciahurlbutt.com.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
We collect personal data only where it is necessary to operate the website, respond to inquiries, improve the site, or comply with legal obligations.
This may include:
- Contact information (such as name and email address)
- Technical data (such as IP address, browser type, and device information)
- Usage data (such as pages visited and interactions with the site)
We collect this data based on:
- Your consent
- Our legitimate interest in operating and improving the website
- Legal obligations, where applicable
Contact forms
We use WPForms Lite for contact forms. When you submit a form, we collect the information you provide (such as your name, email address, and message) so that we can respond to your inquiry. Contact form submissions are not used for marketing purposes unless you explicitly consent. Submissions may be retained for customer service and record-keeping purposes.
Purchases of Sheet Music from Third Parties
We provide links to third party websites where music is available to preview and/or purchase. These include publishers and self-publishing sheet music platforms. We do not provide protection or support for purchases made from third parties. For help with a purchase, please consult the website where you purchased the music.
not Offering e-commerce
We are not an e-commerce website. Rather, we provide information on musical compositions that often includes a link to purchasing options. We do not offer on-site purchases of sheet music, i.e., the functionality to find, pay for and receive sheet music through our website.
You may contact us directly to find out about options to acquire sheet music, especially if that music is not available for purchase on third party websites.
Media
If you upload images to the website, we will use them in promotion of our site’s products and goals. If you share a video, audio file, video link, or audio link, we may use these in promotion of our site’s products and goals.

These may include:
- Temporary cookies to determine whether your browser accepts cookies
- Cookies related to login sessions (for administrators)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.
Google Analytics collects anonymized information such as:

Pages on this site may include embedded content (such as videos from YouTube). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content.
