Privacy Policy – How We Protect Your Data | The Vocal Coach London
Privacy Policy for TheVocalCoachLondon.com
Effective Date: March 19, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to TheVocalCoachLondon.com. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website. By using this website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal data unless voluntarily provided. However, third-party services integrated into our site may collect certain data automatically. This includes:
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies (e.g., Amazon affiliate tracking, Google Analytics)
- Affiliate Program Data (Amazon Associates Program tracks clicks and purchases)
- Contact Information (only if you voluntarily submit via contact forms)
3. Amazon Affiliate Program Disclosure
TheVocalCoachLondon.com participates in the Amazon Associates Program, which uses cookies to track purchases made through affiliate links. These cookies help Amazon determine commissions but do not provide us with personal data.
3a. Geo-Targeting for Amazon Links
To improve user experience, this website uses geo-targeting technology for Amazon affiliate links. When you click on an affiliate link, the system analyzes your IP address to determine your country and may redirect you to the nearest Amazon store (e.g., amazon.com, amazon.de, amazon.fr) instead of amazon.co.uk. This ensures that you see relevant local product listings and helps avoid broken links where an item may not be available in your region.
The geo-targeting function is provided by external services such as geoip-db.com, ipdata.co, or ipinfo.io. The detected location is stored temporarily through cookies. No personally identifying information is collected or retained beyond what is necessary to perform the redirect.
As site owner, we are responsible for ensuring compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. By using this website, you consent to the use of affiliate links and geo-targeting redirects as described here.
4. Google Analytics and Tracking Cookies

- Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data such as page views, traffic sources, and browsing behavior.
- We have excluded logged-in users from being tracked to protect privacy.
- We do not use Google Ads tracking or serve personalized advertisements.

- Amazon (for affiliate tracking)

7. Data Security
