Meshiaak Privacy Policy
This page sets out how Meshiaak — Danny Camilleri, Dean Wells, Andrew Cameron and David Godfrey — treats the information gathered through meshiaakband.com. It applies to the band's official site, including news about Mask Of All Misery and the links we provide for buying or streaming our music. It does not apply to the stores, streaming services or social platforms we link to, which follow their own privacy policies.
Information We Collect
We collect as little as possible. Depending on how you use the site, this can include:
- Details you provide. If you email us or fill in a contact form, we receive whatever you decide to send — usually your name, email address and message.
- Mailing list data. If a newsletter sign-up is offered and you opt in, we collect the email address you give us (plus any name you add).
- Technical data. As with most websites, our hosting may automatically record basic details such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view and when you visit. This helps us keep the site running smoothly and securely.
- Purchases and streaming. When you buy Mask Of All Misery on CD, digital or 180 gram red vinyl, or stream it, the transaction takes place on a third-party store or platform. We never receive your payment details. We may receive aggregated sales or streaming figures that do not identify you personally.
How we use your information
- To reply to enquiries and messages you send us.
- To send news and updates about Meshiaak — new releases, tour dates and merchandise — if you have asked to receive them.
- To operate, maintain and secure the website and understand in broad terms how it is used.
- To comply with legal obligations and to protect the band's rights.
We do not sell your personal information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site may use cookies and similar technologies — small files saved on your device — to remember your preferences, keep things working correctly and, where enabled, measure traffic. Some cookies may be placed by third-party services embedded in or linked from the site, such as video players, social media widgets or analytics tools. You can manage or remove cookies in your browser settings; blocking some of them may affect how certain parts of the site behave.
Third Parties
We share information only when necessary, and only with organisations that process it for us or supply services we depend on. These may include:
- Website hosting and email service providers.
- Newsletter or mailing-list platforms, if you subscribe.
- Record label, distributor and merchandise partners involved in releasing and selling our music.
- Analytics providers, where used, to help us understand site traffic.
- Social media and streaming platforms you reach through links on this site.
These providers handle information under their own privacy policies. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety and rights of the band and its audience.
How Long We Keep Data
We retain personal information only for as long as the purpose it was collected for requires — for instance, while you stay subscribed to our mailing list, or for as long as needed to answer your enquiry and keep a record of it. Technical logs are kept for a limited period suited to site security and troubleshooting. Once information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may be entitled to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you and request a copy.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Ask us to delete your information, where we are not required to keep it.
- Withdraw consent or unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time and in line with applicable law.
Children
This site is aimed at a general audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly gather personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy from time to time — for example, if we add a new mailing list or switch service providers. The current version will always be published on this page.
