Peter Naughton Productions is a sole proprietorship operated by Peter Naughton, located in Fayetteville, New York, USA. Our website address is: https://peterthedj.com and contact information is available at https://peterthedj.com/contact.
This website runs on WordPress, and much of this privacy policy is based on a template provided by WordPress, as they do a great job of explaining things that pertain to the internal workings of the site.
All web form submissions are viewable only by Peter Naughton unless otherwise noted. Form submissions are used for conducting routine business such as:
Wedding Planning Form responses are used to create the timeline Peter will be following during your Event. Once the timeline is approved by the Client, Peter shares this timeline with the venue and other key “day-of” vendors (including but not limited to your photographer, for example) to facilitate the smooth running of your event by ensuring everyone is in agreement on the timeline and flow of the event.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for up to two days, and screen options cookies last for up to one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for up to two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, social media posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly. Embedded content providers may include, but are not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Bluesky, Pinterest, and X (formerly Twitter).
This website also uses Google Fonts.
These embedded websites and services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
General site traffic statistics are recorded by two services: Jetpack and Google.
Personally, Peter Naughton only has time to view stats occasionally, as a matter of general curiosity to see how much traffic the site is getting on a given day, which pages are getting the most views, and a rough idea of how visitors are finding this website.
If you posted a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. (Note added 2/1/25: due to low usage, the comments feature has been turned off. While no new comments may be posted and older comments are no longer visible to the public, they remain stored in the site’s internal database.)
For couples who book Peter Naughton for DJ services and are granted a username/password to access the client-exclusive forms (e.g. the Wedding Planning Form), your “user profile” is maintained until some point after your wedding has conclude. When I create a user account for a couple, the profile consists of very little information:
User profiles are only visible to Peter Naughton and created with the sole purpose of granting clients access to the client-exclusive areas of this website. Peter Naughton occasionally purges accounts for clients whose wedding dates have passed.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. Please note that this only includes data stored within the website. This does not include any data we retain indefinitely for administrative, legal, or security purposes, such as service contracts or contract riders.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This typically includes the commenter’s IP address, user agent, referrer, and Site URL (along with other information directly provided by the commenter such as their name, username, email address, and the comment itself).
The contact information provided by clients (or prospective clients) through the Quote Request Form is sent directly to Peter Naughton and is only used by Peter Naughton to respond to your request and to provide continued services as appropriate. Your contact information is never shared with any other party unless specifically authorized.
At the end of the day, I’m just one guy running a small business because I enjoy DJ’ing weddings. I have neither the time, the interest or the ability to do the kind of deep-level data “scraping” or analysis that “big tech” companies are capable of performing. I’m not looking to sell anyone’s personal information to third-parties, nor am I looking to spy on people, create political chaos or anything else along those lines. But, since GPDR and other laws now require virtually every website out there to have a privacy policy, here it is.
Links to external privacy policies (e.g. Google, Jetpack, etc.) were accurate and actively working as of February 1, 2025. Since I don’t control any of those websites, these links could be subject to change at any time. If you try to access one of those external privacy policies and the link is no longer active, please let me know and I will try to get it corrected promptly.
