Last Updated: October 29, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Shy Sounds LLC, doing business as arms around the world (“we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and shares information when you visit armsaroundtheworld.music, make a purchase, join our mailing list, or interact with our smart links (for example, pre-saves or streaming links).

We value your trust and are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Scope of This Policy

Our website is accessible worldwide, but we are based in the United States and primarily serve U.S. visitors.
We comply with applicable data-protection laws, including the CCPA/CPRA (California) and other U.S. state privacy laws, the GDPR (EU / UK), Switzerland’s FADP, and Canada’s PIPEDA and Law 25, where relevant.

If you are outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where our servers and trusted third-party service providers are located.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

A. Information You Provide Directly

Email subscriptions – name and email address when you join our list or a pre-save campaign.
Orders – name, shipping/billing address, payment details (processed securely by Shopify or Squarespace Payments).
Contests or promotions – contact and shipping details to administer prizes.
Contact requests – information you include when you reach out to us.

B. Information Collected Automatically
When you browse our site or click our smart links, we and our service providers automatically collect:

IP address, browser type, operating system, and device type
General location (city/region inferred from IP address)
Pages visited and referring URLs
Interaction data (e.g., which music service you choose)

This information is gathered through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies for analytics and marketing optimization.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information only when we have a legitimate reason to do so:

To deliver services — fulfill orders, send updates, and manage subscriptions.
To communicate with you — send newsletters or replies to your inquiries.
To understand and improve — analyze visitor trends and site performance.
To run marketing campaigns — deliver ads to interested audiences, measure performance, and create “look-alike” audiences through Meta and Google.
To comply with laws — accounting, taxation, or regulatory obligations.

We never use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that would have legal or significant effects on you.
