I. Who we are
rhyot.com is operated by Rhyot / Emercive Recordings Limited ("we", "us"), based in Toronto, Canada. If you have questions about this policy or your personal information, contact us at privacy@emercive.com.

II. Information we collect
We collect information in the following ways:

Information you give us voluntarily. This includes your email address if you join our mailing list, and any information you share when you get in touch with us, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Analytics. We use Ghost's built-in analytics and standard domain-level analytics to understand how the site is used. This includes aggregated information such as pages visited, referring pages, approximate geographic location, and browser and device type. This data is not linked to your identity.

Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically records standard technical information, such as IP addresses, browser type, and access times, in server logs for security and operational purposes.

III. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working properly, for example to remember basic preferences, and to measure traffic. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling them may affect some site features.

IV. Embedded content
Some pages include embedded content from third-party services, such as music players and videos (for example YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp, and SoundCloud). These embeds may set their own cookies and collect data about you according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies.

V. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
• operate and maintain the website;
• send you updates and newsletters, if you have subscribed;
• respond to your messages and enquiries;
• understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it;
• protect the site against misuse and security threats.

We do not sell your personal information.

VI. Sharing and disclosure
We share personal information only as needed to operate the site: with our hosting provider, with Ghost (the platform this site runs on, including its newsletter delivery), and with analytics providers. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

VII. Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Mailing list data is kept until you unsubscribe. Messages you send us are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry.

VIII. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, to withdraw consent, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@emercive.com and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

IX. Children's privacy
