Privacy & Cookie Policy
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit awilomusic.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
Who we are
This website is the official home of the artist Awilo Longomba, operated by Awilo Music and managed by the Star Records team. If you have any question about this policy, please use our contact page.
Information you give us
When you send an enquiry through the contact form we collect your name, email address, subject and message, together with the date and time of submission. We use this only to reply to you and we do not sell it or use it for marketing.
If you register an account to bid in our memorabilia auctions, we store your email address, your password in encrypted form, and a record of the bids you place. This is needed to run the auction and to contact the winning bidder.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use a small number of essential cookies so that features such as staying signed in work correctly, and we record your cookie choice so we do not ask you again on every visit.
Embedded videos and players from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify and Apple Music may also set cookies when you interact with them. Those services act as independent controllers of that information.
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info. For more detail, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
If you are visiting from the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, you will be asked for your consent before personalised advertising cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time.
How long we keep information
Enquiries are kept only as long as needed to deal with your question and to keep a record of correspondence. Account and bidding records are kept while your account is open and for a reasonable period afterwards for accounting purposes.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. To do so, contact us through the contact page and we will respond as soon as we can.
Children
This website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will appear on this page.
