(j) where You have consented to this, to selected third parties that may contact You about products and services which may be of interest to You in any jurisdiction where We operate.

How long we retain your data

7.1 We will only retain Your personal data for as long as You have consented to it or when is necessary to Us to provide You with Our services or fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements or any legal or regulatory requirements. For instance, by law we have to keep basic information about Our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction Data) typically for ten years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

7.2 To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of Your personal data, the purposes for which we process Your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

7.3 In some circumstances You can ask Us to delete Your data: see paragraph 6 (c) above for further information.

7.4 In some circumstances we may anonymise Your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with You) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to You.

What rights you have over your data

8.1 You can write to Us at any time to obtain a copy of Your information and to have any inaccuracies corrected.

8.2 You (including any artists who for the purposes of this clauses 6 to 12 of this Privacy Notice only shall be deemed included in the definition of “You”) have the following rights, though, please note that they do not apply in all circumstances:

(a) request access to Your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”);

(b) request correction of the personal data that we hold about You;

(c) request erasure of Your personal data. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with Your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to You, if applicable, at the time of Your request;

(d) object to processing of Your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about Your particular situation which makes You want to object to processing on this ground as You feel it impacts on Your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing Your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process Your information which override Your rights and freedoms;

(e) request restriction of processing of Your personal data. This enables You to ask Us to suspend the processing of Your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if You want Us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where Our use of the data is unlawful but You do not want Us to erase it; (c) where You need Us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as You need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) You have objected to Our use of Your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;

(f) request the transfer of Your personal data to You or to a third party. We will provide to You, or a third party You have chosen, Your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information (i.e. not to hard copies) which You initially provided consent for Us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with You; and

(g) withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process Your personal data. If You withdraw Your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to You. We will advise You if this is the case at the time You withdraw Your consent.

8.3 Please write to support@limusicdistribution.com

8.4 Please quote Your name and address. We should be grateful if You would also provide brief details of the information of which You would like a copy or which You would like to be corrected (this helps Us to more readily locate Your data).

8.5 We will require proof of Your identity before providing You with details of any personal information We may hold about You.

8.6 We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one (1) month. Occasionally, it may take Us longer than one (1) month if Your request is particularly complex or You have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify You and keep You updated.

8.7 We may charge You a reasonable fee to You when a request is manifestly unfounded, excessive or repetitive, or we receive a request to provide further copies of the same information. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with Your request in these circumstances.

Where we send your data

9. The data that We collect from You may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA“).
