Version: v1.0.0
Effective Date: May 24, 2026
Last Updated: May 24, 2026
Plain-English Summary
We collect what we need to sell you a course and deliver it: your email address, your name, your payment information (processed through Stripe — we never see your full card number), and a log of which videos and files you have accessed (to enforce the Course Agreement). We do not sell your data. We do not track you across the web. Here are the specifics.
1. Who We Are
This site is operated by Brent Brown Music, the sole proprietorship of Brent G Brown, located in Illinois, USA.
For privacy inquiries, contact: brentbrown808 [at] gmail [dot] com
References to "we," "us," and "Brent Brown Music" in this policy all refer to that sole proprietorship.
2. What We Collect and Why
We collect the minimum personal information needed to operate this site and deliver the course. Here is what we collect and why:
2.1 Account Information
- Email address: Used as your account username, as your electronic signature for clickwrap assent at checkout, and to deliver transactional communications (course access, booking confirmation, password reset). Collected when you register or purchase.
- Name: Stripe may collect your name as part of card billing details during payment. We receive a Stripe customer ID linked back to your account but do not separately collect a typed legal name on this site.
2.2 Payment Information
Payment is processed by Stripe directly. Brent Brown Music's servers do not receive or store your full card number, card verification code, or full bank account details.
We receive and store from Stripe only:
- Last 4 digits of your payment card
- Card country
- Payment status (success, failed, refunded)
- Stripe customer and payment IDs
This is the minimum necessary to manage your purchase records and comply with tax obligations.
2.3 Clickwrap Assent Log
When you accept the Course Agreement at /agreement, we log:
- Your authenticated email address
- Your user account identifier
- The version number of each legal document you accepted (Course Agreement, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy)
- The text of each checkbox label you acknowledged
- UTC timestamp of your acceptance
- Your IP address at the time of acceptance
- Your browser user agent string
- Your Stripe checkout session ID (your order ID)
- A SHA-256 cryptographic hash of the contract text source as shown to you
Why we keep this: This log is how we prove you agreed to the contract — both for legal enforcement purposes and as a contractually required reasonable measure under the Course Agreement. See the Course Agreement at /agreement for context. This data is retained for a minimum of 7 years (see Section 7).
2.4 Course Usage Logs
While you use the course, we log:
- Which video lessons you played and when
- Which downloadable files you accessed and when
- The IP address associated with each access event
Why we keep this: These logs are used to detect and investigate unauthorized sharing of course access, as required by the no-sharing and trade-secret protection provisions of the Course Agreement at /agreement. They are also used to resolve access disputes.
2.5 Booking Emails
If you email brentbrown808 [at] gmail [dot] com to schedule a session or communicate about the course, those emails are stored in Brent's email account.
2.6 Contact Form Submissions
Messages submitted via the site's contact form are sent to Brent's email and stored there.
2.7 No Third-Party Analytics or Tracking
This version of the site does not use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Plausible), advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking scripts. We do not track you across the web.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
3.1 What Cookies We Use
We use only functional cookies necessary for the site to work:
- Authentication session cookie: Keeps you logged in during your session.
- CSRF token cookie: Protects you against cross-site request forgery when you submit forms.
These cookies do not track you across other sites. They expire when your session ends or within a short period thereafter.
3.2 What Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use:
- Advertising or remarketing cookies
- Third-party analytics cookies
- Social media tracking cookies
- Any cookie designed to build a profile of your behavior across websites
3.3 No Cookie Banner
Because we use no tracking cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If this changes, we will update this policy and add appropriate notice.
3.4 Stripe Cookies
When you are redirected to Stripe's checkout interface to complete a payment, Stripe may set its own cookies. Those cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. Brent Brown Music does not control Stripe's cookie behavior.
4. Per-User Video Watermarking
When you watch course videos, your authenticated email address is displayed as a translucent overlay on the video player. This overlay is rendered client-side using your active session.
Why we do this: The watermark deters unauthorized recording and sharing of course content, and enables us to trace the source of any leaked video. This is one of the reasonable measures Brent Brown Music takes to protect the trade secrets and proprietary methods contained in the course.
This practice is disclosed in and required by the Course Agreement at /agreement. By purchasing the course, you acknowledged and accepted the presence of this watermark.
