This data is collected solely to send you newsletter updates and to provide access to free content, such as our upcoming free album.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis

Your data is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).
By submitting your details in the newsletter form, you consent to:

5. Data Processors and Third Parties

To manage and distribute our newsletter, we may use a third-party email marketing provider (e.g., Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, or similar). These services process your data on our behalf under GDPR-compliant data processing agreements (DPAs).

If we provide free downloadable content (e.g., the free album) via a restricted link, this may be hosted on a third-party cloud service (e.g., Google Drive or a similar platform).

Our website also contains links to partner artists and external donation platforms. Clicking these links may lead to websites with their own privacy policies, for which we are not responsible.

Please refer to the respective providers’ privacy policies for further details.
