Our data-protection practices are designed to comply with applicable data-protection legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where applicable.

Voice recordings and other performance-related materials

Personal data is processed only for legitimate and relevant business purposes, which may include:
-

Data Minimization
We aim to collect and process only information that is relevant and reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
Personal information is not intentionally collected for unrelated purposes.
Data Security
Personal data is handled using appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, accidental loss, disclosure or alteration.
Access to personal information is limited to individuals who require it for legitimate business purposes.
Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for contractual or business requirements, or where retention is required by applicable law.
Different types of information may therefore be retained for different periods.
Third-Party Services
Where third-party services are used as part of our business or production workflows, information may be processed by those providers where necessary for the provision of the relevant service.
We seek to use appropriate and reputable service providers and take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately.
Data Subject Rights
Where applicable under GDPR and other relevant legislation, individuals may have rights concerning their personal data, including rights to:
-
Request access to personal information.
-
Request correction of inaccurate information.
-
Request deletion where applicable.
-
Restrict or object to certain processing.
-
Request data portability where applicable.
Requests concerning personal data can be submitted through our official contact channels.
Data Protection Incidents
If we become aware of a personal-data breach or other incident affecting personal information, we will assess and respond to the incident in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Policy Review
Data-protection requirements and business practices may evolve over time.
We therefore review our data-protection practices periodically and update them where necessary to reflect changes in legislation, technology and our services.
