    Where UK GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases:

    • Consent – for example, when you subscribe to email updates or where non-essential cookies require consent
    • Legitimate interests – for running and improving the website, responding to enquiries, preventing misuse, securing the site, and managing music-related submissions and publishing workflows

    • Legal obligation – where we must process or retain information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, tax rules, legal claims, or law enforcement requests

    5. Cookies and similar technologies

    We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, understand usage, improve performance, remember preferences, support login areas, measure traffic, and where applicable support advertising and embedded third-party content.

    Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to work. Others, such as analytics, advertising, and certain third-party cookies, may only be used where required consent has been obtained.

    You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Where a cookie consent tool or banner is shown on our site, you can also manage your preferences there.

    Important: If you use analytics, advertising, remarketing, or non-essential tracking tools, you should make sure your cookie banner blocks those until consent is given. ICO guidance says users must be told about cookies, and non-essential cookies generally require agreement. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

    6. Advertising, analytics, embeds, and third-party services

    We may use third-party tools and services to operate parts of the website. Depending on how the site is configured, these may include services for:

    10. International data transfers

    Some of our service providers may process personal data outside your country, including outside the UK or European Economic Area.

    Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure personal data transferred internationally is protected using appropriate safeguards required by law.

    11. Data retention

    We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to operate the site, manage enquiries and submissions, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

    Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data. For example:

    • Contact or enquiry records may be retained for administrative and support purposes
    • Email subscription data may be retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to any necessary suppression records
    • Transaction, account, or compliance-related records may be retained for longer where legally required

    If we no longer need personal data, we will delete it, anonymise it, or securely store it only where retention is legally required.

    12. Data security

    We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

    You are responsible for keeping any login credentials or passwords confidential where such features are available.
