Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 23, 2026

DrFunWorld respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us when you visit our website, create an account, purchase products or services, make a donation, subscribe to communications, participate in events, access member-only materials, or interact with DrFunWorld’s music, cultural, archival, livestreaming, and community projects. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, how long we keep it, and what choices and rights you may have.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the DrFunWorld website, online store, donation pages, membership or account areas, newsletters, contact forms, event pages, media pages, digital archive or research-access areas, livestreaming-related pages, and other online services operated by DrFunWorld. It also applies to information you may provide to us offline in connection with DrFunWorld events, artistic projects, donations, collaborations, or community activities.

This Policy does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites, payment processors, streaming platforms, social media platforms, event platforms, embedded media services, shipping providers, analytics tools, or other external services that may be linked from or integrated with the DrFunWorld website. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information that you provide directly to us, including your name, email address, phone number, billing address, shipping address, username, password, account details, donation information, purchase history, membership status, communication preferences, messages sent through contact forms, and any other information you voluntarily submit.

If you make a purchase, donation, or paid membership transaction, payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors. DrFunWorld does not intentionally store full credit card numbers or complete payment credentials on its own systems. We may receive transaction confirmations, billing details, shipping details, donation records, order history, and limited payment-related information necessary to process your order, maintain accounting records, prevent fraud, and provide customer support.

If you create an account or access member-only areas, we may collect and maintain account information, login credentials, membership level, access permissions, content-access history, download or viewing activity, and communications connected to your membership or participation in DrFunWorld projects.

If you are a member of our DrFunWorld community, you accept to receive newsletters, announcements, music updates, donation campaigns, livestream notices, event invitations, or similar communications. We may collect your email address, subscription preferences, consent records, engagement data such as email opens or clicks, and unsubscribe status. You can always email us and unsubscribe from our email and SMS list.

If you submit content to DrFunWorld, including photographs, videos, testimonials, music-related materials, comments, biographical information, event information, artwork, or other media, we may collect the information contained in or associated with that content. You should not submit confidential, private, copyrighted, or sensitive information unless you have the right to do so and understand how it may be used.

We may also collect technical and usage information automatically when you visit the website, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, pages visited, date and time of access, approximate location derived from IP address, cookie identifiers, and information about how you interact with the website.

3. Sensitive Information

DrFunWorld does not generally request sensitive personal information such as government identification numbers, health information, biometric information, precise geolocation, political opinions, religious beliefs, racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or similar sensitive categories. Please do not send sensitive information to us unless we specifically request it for a clear and lawful purpose.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to operate the DrFunWorld website and services; process and fulfill orders; manage donations; provide access to member-only content, archival research, music resources, livestreaming materials, and digital content; create and manage user accounts; send order confirmations, receipts, donation acknowledgments, membership notices, and service updates; respond to inquiries; provide customer support; improve the website, store, archive, events, and digital experiences; send newsletters or marketing communications where permitted; protect the website against fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security risks; comply with legal, tax, accounting, contractual, and regulatory obligations; and preserve DrFunWorld’s rights, property, creative works, and community standards.

We may also use aggregated or de-identified information to understand website traffic, audience interest, music-cultural engagement, donation activity, research-access patterns, or general project performance. Aggregated or de-identified information does not identify you personally.

5. Donations, Memberships, and Archive Access

DrFunWorld may operate donation campaigns, membership areas, music-preservation projects, archival research pages, private content libraries, or access-controlled materials. When you participate in these activities, we may use your information to confirm your eligibility, manage your account, provide access to content, maintain donor or member records, communicate project updates, and document support for DrFunWorld’s cultural, musical, archival, livestreaming, or educational activities.

Some materials available through DrFunWorld may involve third-party rights, licensed media, archival references, embedded content, or restricted access. Your activity may be logged to maintain access control, protect rights-sensitive materials, and improve the member or donor experience.

6. Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to DrFunWorld communications, we may send you emails about music releases, events, livestreams, donations, research updates, platform developments, merchandise, memberships, or community news. You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email or by contacting us at the address below. Even if you opt out of marketing messages, we may still send transactional or administrative communications, such as receipts, order updates, account notices, security alerts, or legally required messages.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

DrFunWorld may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, embedded media technologies, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, support shopping cart and account functions, analyze traffic, measure engagement, improve performance, and support marketing or social media integrations.

You can usually control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the website, including login, shopping cart, checkout, membership access, embedded media, or personalized features.

Some browsers may send “Do Not Track” or similar signals. Because industry standards for these signals have varied, our website may not respond to all such signals in the same way. Where required by applicable law, we will honor valid opt-out preference signals or provide legally required choices concerning the sale or sharing of personal information.

8. How We Share Information

DrFunWorld does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging your personal information for money. We may share personal information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and conduct our activities, including web hosting providers, WordPress and WooCommerce-related service providers, payment processors, shipping carriers, email marketing services, analytics providers, security tools, livestreaming or media platforms, event platforms, donation processors, customer support tools, and professional advisors.

We may also share information when necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, cooperate with law enforcement or public authorities, enforce our policies or agreements, protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of DrFunWorld or others, prevent fraud or abuse, or complete a business transaction such as a reorganization, transfer, merger, or sale of assets.

If DrFunWorld includes links, embeds, social media buttons, livestream players, music platforms, video players, or third-party checkout tools, those third parties may collect information directly from you. DrFunWorld is not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties.

9. User-Submitted Content and Public Areas

If the website allows comments, profiles, community posts, testimonials, submissions, uploaded materials, public messages, or similar user-generated content, information you post may be visible to others. You should not post personal information that you do not want to be public.

By submitting content, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to share it. If your submission includes the name, image, voice, likeness, personal story, or creative work of another person, you should have that person’s permission before submitting it. Privacy requests concerning removal or correction of submitted content may be sent to DrFunWorld using the contact information below.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including operating the website, maintaining accounts, providing access to content, processing orders and donations, resolving disputes, supporting legal or accounting obligations, protecting rights, preventing fraud, and maintaining legitimate business or archival records.

The length of retention may vary depending on the type of information. For example, order and donation records may be retained for accounting and tax purposes; account information may be retained while your account remains active; newsletter information may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion; and certain security logs may be retained for a limited period to protect the website.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no website, server, database, email system, or internet transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your account login information confidential and for using secure passwords.

If you believe your interaction with DrFunWorld is no longer secure, please contact us promptly.

12. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of certain information; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; object to or restrict certain uses; opt out of marketing communications; request information about how your data has been used or shared; and request a copy of certain information in a portable format.

California residents may have additional rights under California privacy law, where applicable, including the right to know what personal information is collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared; the right to request deletion; the right to correct inaccurate personal information; the right to opt out of sale or sharing of personal information; the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Some information may be exempt from access, correction, or deletion requests if retention is required or permitted by law, security needs, accounting obligations, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or legitimate business purposes.

13. International Visitors

DrFunWorld is operated from the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be collected, processed, stored, and transferred in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your country.

14. Children’s Privacy

The DrFunWorld website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. Minors should use the website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

15. Third-Party Links, Embedded Media, and External Platforms

The DrFunWorld website may include links to external websites, embedded videos, music players, livestreams, social media posts, ticketing pages, payment pages, donation services, merchandise tools, or other third-party services. When you interact with those services, they may collect information about you independently. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you use.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in DrFunWorld’s website, services, technologies, legal requirements, music and archive projects, donation systems, memberships, or business practices. When we update the Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means that you acknowledge the updated Policy.
