About the DJ Hammy Archive
The DJ Hammy Archive is an independently maintained archive documenting DJ Hammy’s shows, playlists, artists and songs.
The website is maintained by Guy Carberry.
The Archive is designed to collect as little personal information about its visitors as reasonably possible.
Information we collect
Website analytics
The DJ Hammy Archive uses Google Analytics to understand how people use the website.
If you consent to analytics cookies, information collected may include:
- pages you visit;
- how you arrived at the website;
- how you navigate through the Archive;
- how long you spend on particular pages;
- general information about your device and browser; and
- approximate geographical information derived from your connection.
This information is used to understand how the Archive is being used, identify problems and improve the website.
We do not use this information to identify individual visitors or to create advertising or marketing profiles.
Google Analytics is only used where you have consented to analytics cookies.
For more information about the cookies used by the Archive, see our Cookie policy.
Why we use this information
Analytics information is used to:
- understand which parts of the Archive are most useful or popular;
- understand how visitors navigate the website;
- identify technical or usability problems; and
- help improve the content, design and performance of the Archive.
Where consent is required for analytics, the lawful basis for processing this information is consent.
You can withdraw that consent by changing your cookie preferences.
Sharing information
Analytics information is processed using Google Analytics, a service provided by Google.
This means some information about the use of the website may be processed by Google in order to provide the analytics service.
We do not sell personal information and do not provide visitor information to advertisers.
How long information is kept
Analytics information is retained only for as long as it is useful for understanding and improving the website, subject to the retention settings configured within Google Analytics.
Google may also retain information in accordance with its own privacy and data-retention policies.
Links to other websites
The DJ Hammy Archive contains links to external websites and services, including Mixcloud, Facebook, VirtualDJ and PayPal.
When you follow one of these links, you leave the DJ Hammy Archive. Those services are responsible for their own handling of personal information and may have their own privacy and cookie policies.
The DJ Hammy Archive is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
Your data protection rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:
- ask what personal information is held about you;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- ask for personal information to be deleted in certain circumstances;
- restrict or object to certain uses of your information; and
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Because the DJ Hammy Archive does not require visitors to create accounts or provide identifying information, it may not always be possible to associate analytics information with a particular individual.
