What data we collect and why
- Browsing and statistics: when you visit the site we may collect technical data (pages viewed, device type, aggregate data) via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, only if you consent through the cookie banner.
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we process your email address to send you updates about releases, shows and band content. Signup is voluntary and requires email confirmation (double opt-in).
- Contact: if you write to us (email or forms), we process the data you provide to reply.
- Anonymous link stats: on the listen page we count clicks in an anonymous and aggregate way, with no cookies and without identifying you.
Legal basis
We process your data based on your consent (newsletter and statistics/marketing cookies), which you can withdraw at any time, and on our legitimate interest in replying to your messages.
Tools and providers
To run the site and the newsletter we rely on providers acting as data processors:
- MailerLite (UAB MailerLite, Vilnius, Lithuania - EU): newsletter management and sending.
- Google (Analytics, Tag Manager): browsing statistics, only with consent.
- Cloudflare: content delivery and site security.
- Aruba (Italy - EU): website hosting.
- Stripe: secure payment if you buy the CD.
- Bandsintown: concert dates shown on the site.
Data transfers
Some providers (for example Google and Stripe) may process data outside Switzerland and the European Union. Where this happens, the transfer is covered by adequate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
How long we keep data
We keep your newsletter email for as long as you stay subscribed: you can unsubscribe at any time and the data is removed. Other data is kept only as long as needed for the purposes it was collected for.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your data, and to withdraw consent at any time. For the newsletter, the unsubscribe link is at the bottom of every email. To exercise your rights write to [email protected]. You may also contact the competent supervisory authority (in Switzerland the FDPIC, in the EU your national authority).
