Privacy Policy — justinhelmer.ca

This is a static artist portal with no account system. The short version: the site does not build a listener profile; the player and stores are separate services with their own policies.

This site

justinhelmer.ca is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages. The host may process standard technical logs such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamps for security and reliability. There is no account, no comment system, and no upload form on this domain.

The lyric vault stores its search state in your browser. The cookie choice is stored locally. Clearing site data removes both.

Cookies and advertising

We may use cookies or similar storage for essential site function and to remember your cookie choice. When Google AdSense is active on editorial pages, Google and its partners may use cookies or device information to serve and measure ads, including ads based on visits to this site or other sites.

The AdSense publisher ID is ca-pub-0646320966060599. You can review Google’s advertising controls at policies.google.com/technologies/ads and manage personalized ads at adssettings.google.com. Blocking advertising cookies does not lock the site.

Consent

The site shows a cookie banner with Accept and Decline. Your choice is stored locally. If you decline, the banner will not keep asking on every page. Clear the site’s local storage to change the choice.

Retention and children

This site does not maintain reader accounts or an uploaded-audio database. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to answer the request. It is a general music site; we do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and no account is required.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the update date will change. For privacy questions, email excavationstation@gmail.com with “Justin Helmer privacy” in the subject. See also the terms.

Your controls

You can clear the cookie choice and local lyric search state through your browser’s site-data settings. You can block third-party cookies; the site and the links still work. You can email a privacy request without creating an account, because there is no account to create.

If you use a content blocker, some ad requests may be blocked. That does not affect the links to the player or the stores. If you want to support the work without advertising cookies, the optional support link on the home page is the direct route.
