Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 3, 2026

This policy covers tomatkinsband.com, the website of Tom Atkins Band, and the Tom Atkins Band mailing list. It is written in plain language and describes what this site actually does.

Who we are

Tom Atkins Band is the band led by guitarist Tom Atkins. This site is run by High Strung Productions LLC. If you have questions about this policy or your information, email tomatkinsband@gmail.com. We do not publish a street address on this site.

Where this site lives

This site is hosted on Bandzoogle, a website platform for musicians. Bandzoogle runs the site's mailing-list sign-up, contact forms, store and checkout, fan subscriptions, and member logins, and it stores the information those features collect for us. Bandzoogle's own privacy policy, available at bandzoogle.com, also covers how Bandzoogle handles that information.

What we collect

Mailing list. 

If you join the Tom Atkins Band mailing list, we collect the email address you enter. Sign-up forms appear on the home page and the About page. Tom Atkins Band keeps its own mailing list. It is separate from the lists for Tom's other projects: High Strung Productions, iGuitar Journal, and Cloud Surfing Jupiter. Joining this list does not add you to any of those lists, and joining one of those lists does not add you to this one.

Fan subscriptions and member accounts. 

If you sign up for a fan subscription, you create an account on this site with your first name, last name, email address, and a password. Signing up for a subscription also adds you to the Tom Atkins Band mailing list, as the sign-up page says. You can leave the list at any time and keep your subscription.

Store purchases. 

When you buy music, merchandise (such as T-shirts, CDs, or printed books), or other items from the store, the checkout collects what is needed to complete your order. That includes your name, email address, a shipping address for physical items, and payment details. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number. We do receive your order details (what you bought, your name, email, and shipping address) so we can fill the order and help with any problems.

Guitar lessons. 

The store page offers online guitar lessons that are prepaid through PayPal. If you pay through PayPal, PayPal's privacy policy applies to that payment, and we receive the payment details PayPal shares with sellers, such as your name, email address, and the amount paid.

Messages you send us. 

The contact page, the EPK booking form, and the Contact link in the footer ask for your name, email address, and a message. We receive whatever you put in the form. The same goes for any email you send to tomatkinsband@gmail.com.

Analytics. 

This site uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use it. When GA4 runs, Google receives standard usage data such as the pages you view, the site that referred you, your approximate location, and your device and browser type. We ask Google to anonymize IP addresses. Bandzoogle also records basic visit statistics, such as page views, for the site's dashboard. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, the site does not load Google Analytics or Bandzoogle's visit statistics.

Spam protection. 

The mailing-list, contact, and login forms use Google reCAPTCHA to block automated spam. reCAPTCHA collects information about your device and browser and sends it to Google. Google's privacy policy and terms apply to reCAPTCHA.

What we do not do

We do not sell your personal information. We do not run advertising or retargeting pixels on this site. We do not share the Tom Atkins Band mailing list with High Strung Productions, iGuitar Journal, Cloud Surfing Jupiter, or anyone else for their marketing.

How we use your information

We use your email address to send the Tom Atkins Band newsletter. It covers band news, show dates, new releases, music for subscribers, and discounts on shows, music, and merchandise. We use order information to fill and support purchases. We use account information to give subscribers access to their content. We use messages to reply to you. We use analytics to see which pages people visit so we can improve the site.

Cookies

Bandzoogle uses cookies that the site needs to work, such as cookies that keep you logged in and remember your cart. Google Analytics sets its own cookies to count visits. Google reCAPTCHA may also set cookies. The site does not currently show a cookie banner. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though logins and the cart may not work without them. Turning on Do Not Track in your browser stops Google Analytics and Bandzoogle's visit statistics from loading on this site.

Third parties you may meet

Bandzoogle hosts the site and runs its forms, store, subscriptions, and accounts.

Google provides Google Analytics, Google reCAPTCHA, and a web font that the site's design loads from Google Fonts.

Stripe processes store and subscription payments. PayPal processes lesson payments.

This site links to Tom Atkins Band pages on Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitch, Patreon, and Apple Music, as well as to venue websites and to High Strung Productions at highstrungpro.com. The share buttons on songs and events open the social network you choose. Once you follow a link off this site, that site's privacy policy applies.

Unsubscribing and your choices

Every email from the Tom Atkins Band mailing list includes an unsubscribe link. Click it to leave the list. You can also email tomatkinsband@gmail.com with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line, and we will remove you. Leaving this list does not affect any list you may be on for Tom's other projects. Those lists are managed separately.

If you have a member account, you can log in and choose Edit profile to update your details. To cancel a subscription, close your account, or ask us to show, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, email tomatkinsband@gmail.com.

How long we keep information

We keep mailing-list addresses until you unsubscribe or ask to be removed. We keep order records as long as we need them to fill orders and to meet tax and bookkeeping requirements. We keep member accounts until you ask us to close them. Google keeps analytics data according to the retention setting on our Google Analytics account, which is 3 months.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email tomatkinsband@gmail.com and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and post the new text at this address.
