This Privacy Policy explains how the main Audiartist website at www.audiartist.com handles information when you browse our editorial content, music resources and public pages. Dedicated Audiartist services, including the music-submission area, may have additional privacy information that applies to those services.

1. Information Audiartist may collect

Depending on how you use the site, Audiartist may receive information that you provide voluntarily, such as your name, email address and the content of a message when you contact us or use a form. We may also receive technical information generated when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, cookie identifiers and similar technical identifiers.

2. How we use information

We use information to operate and secure the website, respond to enquiries, maintain site functionality, understand audience use, improve content and performance, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and support advertising where permitted.

3. Google AdSense and advertising

Audiartist uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google and its advertising partners may process information such as cookies, device or advertising identifiers, IP address, browser information and interactions with ads in order to deliver, measure, limit and protect advertising. Depending on your location and consent choices, ads may be personalised or non-personalised.

For users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, advertising consent choices are collected through a consent management mechanism where required. You may consent, refuse or manage your choices, and you may later withdraw or change consent using the privacy or cookie choices made available on the site.

You can also review Google’s privacy information at Google Privacy Policy and manage Google advertising preferences through My Ad Center.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

The site and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site operation, security and preferences. With consent where required, analytics and advertising technologies may also store or access identifiers on your device. Advertising cookies may be used for ad delivery, frequency control, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted by your choices, personalisation.

5. Consent and your choices

Where consent is required by applicable law, non-essential advertising and analytics storage is controlled according to the choices presented to you. You can accept, reject or manage available purposes. Consent can be withdrawn or changed at any time through the site’s privacy choices mechanism when available. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

6. Audience measurement

Audiartist uses Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand how visitors use the site, subject to the applicable consent choices. This may include information about pages viewed, session activity, device and browser characteristics, approximate location and technical identifiers. Analytics information is used to measure and improve site performance and content.

7. Contact messages and forms

If you contact Audiartist or submit information through a form, we use the information you provide to process and respond to your request, administer the relevant service, prevent abuse and keep necessary records. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely required for your request.

8. Embedded content and third-party services

Articles may include or link to content and services from third parties, such as audio or video players, social networks, music platforms and other external websites. These providers may process data according to their own privacy policies and, where applicable, your consent choices. Following an external link also places you under that provider’s terms and privacy practices.

9. Sharing and service providers

Audiartist may use technical, hosting, security, analytics, advertising and communication providers to operate the site. Personal information is shared only where needed for those services, where required by law, or to protect the site and its users. Audiartist does not sell personal information to advertisers.

10. International processing

Some third-party providers may process information outside your country. Where European data-protection law applies, relevant providers are responsible for using appropriate safeguards for international transfers as required by law.

11. Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, operating and securing the site, complying with legal obligations and resolving disputes. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the service involved.

12. Your rights under the GDPR

If the GDPR applies to you, you may have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, objection to certain processing and withdrawal of consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your competent data-protection authority, including the CNIL in France where applicable.

13. Exercising your rights

To ask a privacy question or exercise your data-protection rights, use the Audiartist Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

14. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when Audiartist changes its services, providers or legal obligations. The current version and update date will be published on this page.
