Information you provide directly

The only way Rock Records directly receives personal information from website visitors is if you choose to contact us by email at info@rockrecords.co or by telephone. Any information you provide through these channels — such as your name, email address, organisation, or project details — is used solely to respond to your enquiry and will not be shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes without your consent.

We do not operate any contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, or mailing lists. We do not collect, store, or process payment information.

Information collected automatically

When you visit www.rockrecords.co, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the third-party platforms we use to operate and improve the website. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This information is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.
