Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Sammy Violin ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect on this website, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

1. Who we are

Sammy Violin — international violinist, performing across the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal & Quebec and Niagara wine country. Contact: info@sammyviolin.com.

2. What we collect

• Contact & booking forms: name, e-mail, phone number, event details you type into our forms.
• Chat assistant: messages you send to our on-site chat, including booking details you choose to share (event type, region, date).
• Cookies & usage data: see section 4.

We do not collect payment information on this website.

3. Why we collect it (legal basis)

To answer your inquiries, prepare quotes and manage bookings (consent and pre-contractual steps), and — where you accept — to understand site usage through anonymous analytics. We never sell your data.

4. Cookies & similar technologies

• Essential: a preference cookie (sv_consent, 180 days) remembers your cookie choice. It is set when you accept or decline.
• Analytics (only after you accept): Google Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are visited. If you decline, these are never loaded.
• Embedded content: some pages embed YouTube videos; loading them may set YouTube/Google cookies.

You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this site — the consent box will reappear on your next visit.

5. Third parties

Google (Analytics, YouTube), WhatsApp/telephone links you click, and our e-mail provider (transactional notifications). Each processes data under its own policy.

6. Retention & security

Inquiries and booking records are kept as long as needed to serve you and to meet legal obligations, then deleted. Data is stored on secured servers; access is limited to the site owner.

7. Your rights

You may request access, correction or deletion of your personal data, or withdraw consent, by writing to info@sammyviolin.com. Residents of Quebec additionally benefit from the rights set out in Act 25.

8. Changes

We may update this policy; the date above will change. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
