If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, how your data is handled, or if you wish to exercise your privacy rights, you can contact us directly via the Connect form below.
What Information We Collect & Why
We strictly follow the principle of data minimization. We only collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us:
- Newsletter ("Join The Inner Circle"): When you subscribe, we collect your email address to send you updates about new releases, videos, and band news. This list is managed through MailerLite. You can unsubscribe at any time with a single click via the link in every email.
- Contact Form ("Get In Touch"): When you send us a message, we collect your name, email address, and message content. This is processed via FormSubmit and used exclusively to reply to your inquiry.
- Website Analytics (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics (with IP anonymization enabled) to understand aggregate traffic patterns—such as visited pages, device types, and general geographic regions—so we can improve the website.
Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
In accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / RGPD) and Spanish data protection laws (LOPDGDD), we process your data based on:
- Explicit Consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR): Given when you actively check the consent box before submitting our newsletter or contact forms, or when accepting analytical cookies.
- Legitimate Interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR): To maintain website security, prevent spam, and respond to direct messages initiated by you.
External Platforms &embeds
To keep our website fast and lightweight, we rely on trusted third-party services that process data under their own strict privacy frameworks:
- MailerLite: Processes and stores newsletter subscriber emails securely.
- FormSubmit: Routes messages from our contact form directly to our inbox without storing them for marketing.
- Google Analytics: Provides anonymized statistical traffic insights (`anonymize_ip: true`).
- Streaming & Cloud Platforms: Links and embeds to Spotify, YouTube, DistroKid, or Dropbox (for press/radio WAV files) are governed by the respective privacy policies of those platforms once you interact with them.
Data Retention & Your Rights
We keep contact messages only for as long as necessary to address your inquiry. Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
At any time, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Request erasure ("right to be forgotten") of your data from our records.
- Withdraw consent or object to data processing at any moment.
To exercise any of these rights, simply send us a message using the Get In Touch form below indicating your request, and we will process it promptly.
