2. Scope & Global Compliance Commitment

We design our privacy programme to meet or exceed requirements in all jurisdictions where we operate or have users, including:

• GDPR/UK GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, Swiss nFADP

• US state privacy laws (e.g., CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, ICPA, TDPA, MCDPA, FLDPA, DELPPA) IAPPBloomberg Law

• PIPEDA (Canada), LGPD (Brazil), Privacy Act 1988 (Australia), PDPA (Singapore, Thailand), POPIA (South Africa), PDPB (India, draft), and the 140-plus national data-protection statutes now in force worldwide IAPP

Because legal obligations differ by region, Sections 13–17 provide jurisdiction-specific supplements that prevail where they grant stronger rights.

3. Information We Collect

We do not intentionally collect data about children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). If we become aware we have done so, we delete it promptly.

---

4. How & Why We Use Your Data

Automated decision-making is limited to basic fraud filters and cookie-based ad delivery; none produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

5. Cookies, Pixels & Similar Tech

We use:

1. Strictly Necessary Cookies – site core functions, always active.

2. Analytics Cookies (e.g., Plausible, GA4 with IP anonymisation).

3. Advertising Pixels (Meta, TikTok, Google) – disabled until you consent via our Cookie Banner (powered by Ketch.com).

Browser “Do Not Track” signals are honoured as an opt-out of analytics and advertising cookies.

---

6. Sharing & International Transfers

Cross-border Transfers: Data moves from your region to the USA and other countries. Where local law deems destination protections “inadequate,” we rely on:

• EU & UK Standard Contractual Clauses (2021/914/EU & IDTA) plus transfer impact assessments.

• APEC CBPR/PRP certification in 2025 (pending).

• Binding Corporate Rules for intra-group transfers (if applicable).

---

7. Data Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above, plus:

• Transactional records: 7 years (tax & accounting).

• Marketing consent logs: until you withdraw + 5 years.

• Back-ups & logs: rotated ≤ 24 months.

When retention ends, we securely delete or irreversibly anonymise the data.

---

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of these rights:

To exercise any right, email drew@adieusounds.com. We will verify your identity (or your authorised agent) and respond within the timeframe your law specifies (e.g., 30 days EU/UK, 45 days California).

9. California & Other US State Supplements

Other state residents (e.g., Colorado, Virginia, Utah, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Tennessee, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, Iowa) have similar rights; see the State Privacy Addendum for details.

13. APAC & Other Jurisdictions

Where local law (e.g., Australia Privacy Act, Singapore/Thailand PDPA, Japan APPI, South Korea PIPA, South Africa POPIA) provides stronger rights, we honour them. Users may contact the regional authority or our DPO.
