Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent: for non-essential cookies or analytics where required by law.
Legitimate interests: to operate, protect, and improve the Site in a reasonable way that does not override your rights.

Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies to:

Remember basic preferences.

Collect anonymous statistics about how the Site is used.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies (for example, analytics cookies).

You can usually control or delete cookies via your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the Site.

Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand general trends in the use of the Site (such as number of visitors, popular pages, and basic technical data).

Where the law requires it, analytics will only be activated after you give your consent (for example, via a cookie banner). You can withdraw your consent at any time via your browser settings or the cookie settings on the Site, if available.

Third-party links and external websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites (for example, music resources, entertainment venues, or partner sites).

We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those websites. Each third-party site has its own privacy policy, which you should review before providing any personal data.

If we use any affiliate or partner links in the future, they will be used in accordance with applicable disclosure rules.

We only share your personal data in limited circumstances:

With service providers who help us operate the Site (for example, hosting providers or technical support), and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services.
When required by law, regulation, or legal process.
When necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or the rights, safety, or property of others.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.

Data retention

We keep your personal data only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For example:

Emails and contact form messages may be kept for as long as needed to handle your request and keep a basic record of our correspondence.
Technical logs may be kept for a limited time for security and troubleshooting.

Children’s privacy

This Site is not directed to children under 13 years of age (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country).

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

International data transfers

Because the Site may be hosted and accessed from different countries, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one you are located in.

Where required by law, we will take appropriate measures to protect your personal data in connection with such transfers (for example, using standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards).

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
