Legal Basis for Data Processing

Madra Salach and Universal Music process personal data for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, as described above.

The legal bases we rely on to process your personal data is that such processing is:

 · necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us (for example, to provide you with the services you request and to identify and authenticate you so you may use the Sites);

· necessary to comply with legal requirements (for example, to comply with applicable accounting rules and to make mandatory disclosures to law enforcement);

· necessary for our legitimate interests (for example, to manage our relationship with you and to improve the Sites); and

· based on your explicit consent (for example, to communicate with you about our products and services and provide you with marketing information), which may subsequently be withdrawn at any time (by using preference settings in emails or on the Sites, using this form, or emailing us as set out in the Contact section) without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Universal Music may use automated decision making technologies, including profiling, to support our data processing activities. Universal Music’s automated decision making capabilities include logic that attempts to identify artists, music, communications, products, or offers that could be of interest you. By using this logic, it helps to personalise your interactions with Madra Salach or Universal Music. For you, this means that you may see online advertisements, direct marketing communications (if you have subscribed), or other advertising or marketing messages or special offers based on your activity on the Sites or interactions with Madra Salach or Universal Music or our third party partners.

In some instances, you may be required to provide us with personal data for processing as described above, in order for us to be able to provide you to use all the features of the Sites.

International transfers

Our sharing of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy may involve transferring your personal data outside the EEA or the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA or UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring, where required by law, at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• transferring personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the relevant authorities;
• using specific contractual or legal mechanisms approved by the relevant authorities which give personal data the same protection it has in the exporting country.

You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to request a copy of relevant safeguards by contacting us as described in the “Contact” section.

 

This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you of our practices regarding your personal data. By using our Sites, you consent to the collection, use, and processing of your information as described herein.
