Privacy Policy

Sheet Music Stores is an online catalog that helps musicians compare sheet music editions from trusted publishers and retailers around the world.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you browse our site, interact with our tools, or contact our team.

Who we are

Sheet Music Stores is owned and operated by Filipe Fonseca Desenvolvimento de Software LTDA (“Everything Apps Tecnologia”), a private company headquartered in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil.

We act as the data controller for the personal information processed through www.sheetmusicstores.com and its subdomains.

Our privacy team can be reached at [email protected]. You can also use the contact form available on our website to send questions or rights requests.

Data we collect

We collect the minimum amount of personal data necessary to operate our services, communicate with you, and keep the platform secure.

• Identification and contact information such as your name, email address, and the content of messages you send through our contact form or support inbox.
• Preference data stored locally in your browser, including the language and currency you select while browsing the site.
• Usage and device information automatically captured in server logs, such as IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps.
• Affiliate and outbound link parameters that indicate which sheet music partner you chose to visit so we can attribute referrals.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive data or information about minors, and we ask that you do not provide such details in your messages.

How we use your information

We use the data described above to respond to your requests, provide localized content, detect and prevent abuse, measure site performance, and comply with applicable laws.

Processing is based on our legitimate interest in operating the platform, your consent when you submit optional information, and our legal obligations when authorities require it.

Cookies and similar technologies

We rely on first-party cookies and local storage to remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

• NEXT_LOCALE (session) — keeps your language selection active until you close the browser or clear cookies.
• CURRENCY (session) — remembers the preferred currency you choose while viewing product prices.
• Hosting analytics — our infrastructure provider records aggregated request metrics to maintain platform reliability without tracking individual visitors.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features, such as language and currency selection, may no longer function as expected.

How we share information

We never sell your personal data. We only share information with service providers that help us operate the platform or when required by law.

• DigitalOcean, LLC (United States) hosts our infrastructure and stores encrypted server logs for security and troubleshooting.
• Everything Apps Tecnologia support services process the messages you send through the site so our team can respond.
• Sheet music retailers we link to—such as Sheet Music Direct and Virtual Sheet Music—receive information only when you click their links and are subject to their own privacy policies.

We may disclose data if required to comply with legal obligations, defend our rights, or protect users from harmful activities.

Data retention and security

Contact messages are stored for up to 24 months so we can follow up on conversations. Aggregated server logs are retained for a maximum of 12 months.

We protect data with encrypted connections, access controls limited to trained personnel, infrastructure monitoring, and regular backups.

If we ever identify a security incident that could affect your data, we will notify you and the competent authorities as required by law.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over your personal data:

• Access — request confirmation of processing and a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — ask us to update or correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion — request the removal of data that is no longer necessary or when you withdraw consent.
• Portability and restriction — request a copy of the data in a portable format or ask us to limit processing in specific situations.
• Complaint — lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your rights were violated.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the channels below. We will verify your identity before fulfilling the request.

Policy updates

We may update this policy to reflect operational or legal changes. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new version on this page.
