Privacy Policy
For ronnie-ro.com
This is the official website of comedian Ronnie Rohrbeck. This policy explains what this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. It covers this website only. If you follow a link elsewhere, that site's own policy applies.
Information you give us
You only give us information if you choose to fill something in. This is exactly what each form on this site asks for:
Booking form:
- your name
- email address
- phone number
- and your message
Press and contact form:
- your name
- email address
- phone number
- and your message
Every form also carries a hidden field used to catch automated spam. It records nothing about you.
When you send either form, your name, email address and phone number are added to our contact list so we can reply and keep you posted about shows and press. You can ask us to remove you at any time and we will.
Information collected automatically
This site uses Google tags to count visits and see which pages people read. They set cookies in your browser and record your rough location, your device and browser type, the pages you view and how you arrived. We use this only as statistics. We do not use it to identify you and we do not use it for advertising. You can switch this off at any time, and the site works normally if you do. How to do that is below.
The site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google to fetch them and Google sees your network address when it does.
Like any website, our servers record the ordinary details of each request so the site can run and so we can find and stop abuse. A security and delivery network sits in front of the site and handles the same details in order to serve pages quickly and to filter out attacks and automated traffic.
When a form is sent, we note the network address it came from so that nobody can flood the form with automated submissions.
What is stored in your browser
Besides the cookies described above, this site keeps a small note in your own browser:
- your choice of light or dark appearance — so the site looks the way you left it
It stays on your device, it is not sent to us, and clearing your browser data removes it.
Content from other companies
YouTube. Video clips are embedded using YouTube's no-cookie player, which does not set advertising cookies unless you press play. Pressing play loads the player from YouTube, which then sees that your browser requested it.
The site links out to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Linktree and our merchandise shop. Those are ordinary links: nothing is shared until you choose to follow one, and then that company's own policy applies.
Why we use it
- To answer you when you get in touch.
- To keep the website working, fast and secure.
- To understand which pages are useful so we can improve them.
- To meet our legal and accounting obligations.
We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it to build a profile of you, and we do not use it to train AI models.
Who else sees it
- Google provides the analytics tags described above, and the typefaces the pages use.
- YouTube serves the embedded content described above.
- We also rely on a small number of service providers to run the site: a company that hosts this website, a security and delivery network that sits in front of it, a company that delivers the email a form submission generates, and a company that holds our contact records. They only ever receive what they need to do that job and are not permitted to use it for anything else.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep what you send us for as long as it takes to deal with your enquiry and for as long afterwards as we need it as an ordinary business record, or as tax and accounting law requires. When it is no longer needed for either, it is deleted.
If you ask to be removed from our contact records, we act on that when you ask.
Request records kept by the server and by the security network are held only as long as they are useful for running the site and investigating abuse, and are then discarded. Analytics data is held under the retention setting configured in the analytics product and is then deleted automatically.
Your choices
- Ask what we hold. Get in touch and we will tell you.
- Ask us to correct or delete it. Get in touch and we will, unless the law requires us to keep it.
- Ask us to stop contacting you. Say so and we will take you off our contact records.
- Turn off analytics. Install Google's official opt-out browser add-on, or block cookies in your browser settings. The site works normally either way.
If you live in California, another US state with a privacy law, the EEA or the UK, you have specific rights over your personal information, which include getting a copy of it, having it corrected, having it deleted and, in some cases, having it moved. Ask us and we will act on your request. We will never charge you or treat you differently for exercising a right.
Children
This website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a child. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
The whole site is served over an encrypted connection. What you send through a form travels encrypted and goes to the person who answers enquiries. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we collect to the minimum that lets us do our job, which is the most effective protection there is.
Changes to this policy
If what we collect changes, we will update this page.
How to reach us
For anything in this policy, including a request to see or delete what we hold, reach Ronnie Rohrbeck through the contact form on this site.
