This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected and used when you visit this website or contact Līga Kupča through it.
1. Who operates this website
This website is operated by Līga Kupča, based in the United Kingdom.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal information is handled, you can contact Līga using the contact form available on this website.
2. Contact form and FormSubmit
If you use the contact form to enquire about private lessons, bookings, performances, press, collaborations, or other matters, you may provide information such as:
- your name;
- your email address; and
- any information included in your message.
This information is used to receive, respond to, and manage your enquiry.
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, the lawful basis for processing this information may be:
- taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, for example where you are enquiring about lessons or another service; or
- legitimate interests in responding to professional, booking, press, or collaboration enquiries.
The contact form is processed using FormSubmit, a third-party form processing service. When you submit the form, the information you enter is transmitted to FormSubmit so that your message can be delivered and managed.
FormSubmit may store form submissions and process technical information necessary to operate and secure its service.
FormSubmit may host its services outside the United Kingdom. Where personal information is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required by UK data protection law, including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
Personal information submitted through the contact form is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with your enquiry and any resulting professional or contractual relationship.
3. Spotify embedded content
This website may contain embedded music or other content from Spotify.
Spotify content is not loaded automatically where consent is required. Instead, you may be asked to choose whether you want to allow Spotify content.
If you choose to allow Spotify content, the Spotify player will be loaded and information about your visit may be transmitted to Spotify. This may include information such as:
- your IP address;
- browser and device information;
- information about the page you are visiting; and
- information about how you interact with the Spotify player.
Spotify may also use cookies and similar technologies and may allow third parties to place cookies on your device.
Your choice to allow Spotify content may be stored locally in your browser so that the website can remember your preference.
You can withdraw your permission for Spotify content through the website's privacy settings, where available. Removing or resetting the relevant browser storage may also reset this preference.
Spotify processes information in accordance with its own privacy policies.
4. YouTube embedded content
This website may contain videos embedded from YouTube, a service provided by Google.
Where possible, YouTube videos may be embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode.
Embedded YouTube content may be blocked until you choose to allow or interact with it.
When a YouTube video is loaded or played, information may be transmitted to Google or YouTube. This may include:
- your IP address;
- browser and device information;
- information about the webpage you are visiting; and
- information about the video you watch or interact with.
Google or YouTube may also use cookies and similar technologies. If you are signed into a Google or YouTube account, information about your interaction with the video may be associated with that account.
Google and YouTube process information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
This website does not currently use its own advertising or analytics cookies.
However, third-party services such as Spotify and YouTube may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies when their content is loaded.
Where consent is required, this third-party content is not loaded until you choose to allow it.
The website may use browser storage, such as localStorage, to remember your privacy preferences. This allows the website to remember, for example, whether you previously chose to allow Spotify or other external media.
You can change or withdraw your choices through the privacy settings provided on the website, where available.
You can also manage cookies and browser storage through your browser settings.

This information may be processed for purposes including website delivery, reliability, security, diagnostics, and abuse prevention.
