YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS

Your choices
You can choose not to provide us with personal data. If you choose to do this, you can continue to use the website and browse its pages, but we will not be able to process transactions without personal data.

You can turn off cookies in your browser by changing its settings
You can block cookies by activating a setting on your browser allowing you to refuse cookies. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings. If you turn off cookies, you can continue to use the website and browse its pages, but FixTheMusic and certain services will not work effectively.

You can ask us not to use your data for marketing
We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for marketing and if third parties are involved. You can opt out from marketing by emailing us at hello@fixthemusic.com.

Your rights
You can exercise your rights by sending us an email at hello@fixthemusic.com.

You have the right to access the information we hold about you
This includes the right to ask us supplementary information about:

  • the categories of data we’re processing
  • the purposes of data processing
  • the categories of third parties to whom the data may be disclosed
  • how long the data will be stored (or the criteria used to determine that period)
  • your other rights regarding our use of your data

We will provide you with the information within one month of your request unless doing so would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other (e.g. another person’s confidentiality or intellectual property rights). We’ll tell you if we can’t meet your request for that reason.

You have the right to make us correct any inaccurate personal data about you
You can object to us using your data for profiling you or making automated decisions about you. We may use your data to determine whether we should let you know information that might be relevant to you (for example, tailoring emails to you based on your behaviour). Otherwise, the only circumstances in which we will do this is to provide the FixTheMusic service to you.

You have the right to port your data to another service
We will give you a copy of your data in CSV or JSON so that you can provide it to another service. If you ask us and it is technically possible, we will directly transfer the data to the other service for you. We will not do so to the extent that this involves disclosing data about any other individual.

You have the right to be ‘forgotten’ by us
You can do this by asking us to erase any personal data we hold about you, if it is no longer necessary for us to hold the data for purposes of your use of FixTheMusic.

You have the right to lodge a complaint regarding our use of your data
Please tell us first, so we have a chance to address your concerns. If we fail in this, you can address any complaint to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, either by calling their helpline or as directed on their website at www.ico.org.uk.

HOW SECURE IS THE DATA WE COLLECT?

We have physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

And please remember:
• You provide personal data at your own risk: unfortunately, no data transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure
• You are responsible of your username and password: keep them secret and safe!
• If you believe your privacy has been breached, please contact us immediately on hello@fixthemusic.com

WHERE DO WE STORE THE DATA?

By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing by us. If we transfer or store your information outside the EEA in this way, we will take steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

HOW LONG DO WE STORE YOUR DATA?

We will archive and stop actively using any personal identifiable information about you within 6 months from the last time you used FixTheMusic. We will delete your personal data from our archives no later than 6 years from the last time you used FixTheMusic or as agreed with you in a separate contract.

THIRD PARTIES WHO PROCESS YOUR DATA

Tech businesses often use third parties to help them host their application, communicate with customers, power their emails etc. We partner with third parties who we believe are the best in their field at what they do.

When we do this, sometimes it is necessary for us to share your data with them in order to get these services to work well. Your data is shared only when strictly necessary and according to the safeguards and good practices detailed in this Privacy Policy.

COOKIES

We use cookies. Unless you adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, we (and these third parties) will issue cookies when you interact with FixTheMusic. These may be ‘session’ cookies, meaning they delete themselves when you leave FixTheMusic, or ‘persistent’ cookies which do not delete themselves and help us recognise you when you return so we can provide a tailored service.
