🎙️ About Vinyl Enthuse: We are a vinyl record store directory serving music lovers across the USA — listing brick-and-mortar vinyl record shops. Not vinyl flooring, not vinyl siding. Just records, baby. Grooves, LPs, 45s, and the shops that sell them.

Hey there, cool cats and vinyl lovers! Before you start digging through our groovy stacks of record shop listings, your pals at Vinyl Enthuse want to lay down the real deal about your privacy. No double-talk, no flip side — just the straight skinny on how we handle your personal info.

Last Spun: March 2026

🎵 SIDE A — WHAT INFO WE COLLECT

What You Give Us Yourself

When you fill out a form, submit a listing, or drop us a line, you might share your name, email address, your message, or business info if you are a record shop owner putting your scene on the map.

What We Pick Up Automatically

Like any good DJ keeping an eye on the dance floor, we automatically collect some basic info: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time and date, and device info. Just enough to keep the party running smooth.

🍪 Cookies — The Digital Kind

We use cookies — not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These small data files help our site remember you and work right. Types we use:

Essential cookies — keep the place running, cannot cut these
Analytics cookies — help us know which tracks are hits
Preference cookies — remember your settings

🎵 SIDE B — HOW WE USE YOUR INFO

Running the joint — keeping vinylenthuse.com smooth and operational
Answering your calls — responding to questions, tips, and submissions
Improving the groove — analyzing what works and what is square
Sending newsletters — only if you signed up, we do not ambush nobody
Staying legit — complying with legal obligations

We do NOT: sell your info to The Man, spam you like a broken record, or do anything that ain't cool.

🎵 TRACK 3 — WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

Service Providers — Trustworthy cats who help us run the site (hosting, email, analytics). They only get what they need and keep it cool.

Google Analytics — We use Google Analytics to understand our audience. They have their own privacy policy and are a whole separate scene.

Legal Requirements — If the law comes knocking, we might have to open the door. We share what we legally must and nothing more.

Nobody Else — We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. Period. Full stop. Flip the record.

🎵 TRACK 4 — THIRD PARTY LINKS

Our directory links to record shop websites all over this great land. Once you split our scene and head to their site, their own privacy rules apply. We also use Google Maps — their privacy policy is their own bag.

🎵 TRACK 5 — YOUR RIGHTS, DADDY-O

✅ The Right to Know — Ask us what we have got on you
✅ The Right to Fix It — We got something wrong? We will set it straight
✅ The Right to Split — Ask us to delete your data and we will cut it loose
✅ The Right to Object — Not cool with how we use your info? Say so
✅ The Right to Take It With You — Request your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, just drop us a line. We will respond faster than a turntable spinning at 45 RPM.

🎵 TRACK 6 — HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFO SAFE

We run a tight ship, Daddy-O. Your data is protected by SSL encryption, access controls, and regular security check-ups. No system is completely bulletproof, but we do everything in our power to keep your info safe and sound.

🎵 TRACK 7 — HOW LONG WE HOLD ONTO IT

We keep your data only as long as we need it to run the show. When it has done its job, we let it go. Some info we may be required to keep for legal or tax reasons — but only what the law says, nothing extra.

🎵 TRACK 8 — THE YOUNG CATS

Vinyl Enthuse is meant for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect info from kids under 13. If you think a youngster has signed up, let us know and we will take care of it pronto.

🎵 CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

Occasionally we will update this policy as the scene evolves. When we do, we will update the Last Spun date at the top. Keep checking back, cool cat.
