Privacy Policy

This policy explains how michael-bush.com handles personal information when you browse the catalogue or make contact.

Last updated: 18 August 2026

Who is responsible for your information

Michael Bush is the data controller for personal information handled through this website. Questions, requests or concerns about this policy can be submitted through the contact form.

Information collected

When you use the contact form, the site collects your name, email address, enquiry type and message. It also records your IP address, browser user-agent and submission time to protect the form from misuse and respond to your enquiry.

When you browse the catalogue or play a demo, the site may record the page or audio action, time, IP address, browser user-agent, invitation token and associated company, where applicable. A random session identifier is also used to operate the site securely and avoid counting the same action repeatedly within one session.

How and why information is used

  • To answer professional, licensing, publishing, collaboration and other enquiries.
  • To take steps requested before entering into a potential agreement.
  • To understand professional engagement with the catalogue and improve its presentation.
  • To secure the website, prevent spam and abuse, diagnose faults and keep appropriate records.

The lawful bases relied upon are legitimate interests in operating and protecting the catalogue and responding to professional enquiries; steps taken at your request before a possible contract; and legal obligations where record-keeping is required.

Sharing and international transfers

Personal information is not sold. It may be processed by trusted service providers that supply website hosting, infrastructure or technical support, only as needed to provide and protect the site. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If a service provider processes information outside the United Kingdom, appropriate safeguards required by UK data protection law will be used.

Retention and security

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to an enquiry, maintaining professional records, measuring catalogue engagement, preventing abuse and meeting legal requirements. Records are reviewed and removed or anonymised when they are no longer needed.

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used to protect information. No internet service can, however, guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, you may have rights to be informed, access your information, correct it, request erasure or restriction, object to processing and receive portable data. These rights depend on the circumstances and may be subject to legal exceptions.

You can exercise a right through the contact form. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Cookies and changes to this policy

Details of the site’s session cookie are in the Cookie Notice. This policy may be updated when the site or legal requirements change; the date above will identify the latest version.

Rights notice: All lyrics, music and underlying compositions in this repository are human-authored works protected under the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. AI-assisted audio demos are used solely to communicate arrangement and production direction.
