3. Legal Basis for Data Processing
We process personal data only when it is necessary for the performance of a contract (e.g., providing Music Promo or Artist Management), when it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or when we have a legitimate interest that does not override your rights (e.g., fraud prevention, network security, defending against chargebacks).

7. Absolute Limitation of Liability (Hold Harmless)
While we implement industry-standard security infrastructure (including SSL encryption and restricted data access), no digital system is entirely secure.

Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with our privacy practices is to cease using our services.
8. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with statutory retention periods (e.g., commercial and tax laws requiring data logs for up to 10 years). Users may request a copy of their data or its deletion via our Compliance Team, provided such request does not conflict with our contractual execution obligations or financial defense logs.
9. Security Measures
We employ rigorous technical and organizational measures. We use 256-bit SSL technology for all data transmissions and checkout sessions. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized backend personnel under strict confidentiality agreements. We perform periodic reviews of our data collection, storage, and processing practices.
