If analytics, embedded media, advertising or other non-essential technologies are introduced, they will only be activated where required after the visitor has made the relevant cookie choice.
Further information is available in the Cookie Policy.
3. Purposes and Legal Bases
Personal data may be processed for the following purposes.
Responding to messages and enquiries
Your name, email address and message are used to review and respond to your communication and to manage any subsequent correspondence.
The legal basis is:
- taking steps at your request before entering into a possible agreement or professional relationship; and/or
- the legitimate interest in receiving and responding to genuine enquiries relating to the music, releases, collaborations, licensing, performances, press or other professional matters.
Managing professional or contractual relationships
Where an enquiry develops into a collaboration, licence, commission, performance, service or other professional relationship, personal data may be processed to prepare, manage and perform that relationship.
The legal basis is the performance of a contract or taking pre-contractual steps at your request.
Complying with legal obligations
Certain data may be retained or processed where necessary to comply with accounting, tax, administrative or other legal obligations.
The legal basis is compliance with a legal obligation.
Website operation and security
Technical information and server logs may be processed to maintain the website, diagnose technical problems, prevent abuse, investigate security incidents and protect the website and its visitors.
The legal basis is the legitimate interest in operating and securing the website.
Analytics and non-essential cookies
Where non-essential analytics or similar technologies are used, the legal basis will normally be your consent, requested through the cookie management interface.
You may withdraw or modify that consent through the cookie settings available on the website.
4. Whether Providing Data Is Required
Providing personal data through the contact form is voluntary.
However, a valid email address and sufficient information about your enquiry are necessary for me to understand and respond to your message.
Your data will not be used for newsletters or unrelated promotional communications unless you have separately and specifically agreed to receive them.
5. Recipients and Service Providers
Personal data is not sold.
Data may be processed by carefully selected service providers where this is necessary to operate the website and communication systems, including:
- website hosting provider: hostinger.com
These providers may process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide their services and subject to the applicable contractual and data-protection requirements.
Personal data may also be disclosed where required by law, a court, a competent public authority, or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
6. International Data Transfers
Some service providers or embedded platforms may process personal data outside the European Economic Area.
Where such transfers occur, they will be based on an applicable legal transfer mechanism, such as:
- an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
- Standard Contractual Clauses;
- another safeguard recognised under applicable data-protection law.
7. Embedded Content and External Platforms
The website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services, including music platforms and social networks such as Spotify, Apple Music, Instagram or Bandcamp.
When you open an external link, you leave this website and the third party processes data under its own privacy policy.
Where third-party content is embedded directly into a page, the provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information or interaction data. Where required, such content should remain blocked until the relevant cookie or privacy choice has been made.
I do not control how independent third-party platforms process personal data.
8. Retention of Personal Data
Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
As a general rule:
- ordinary contact enquiries may be retained for up to 12 months after the last meaningful communication;
- data relating to a professional or contractual relationship may be retained for the duration of that relationship and afterwards for the applicable statutory limitation and legal-compliance periods;
- technical and security logs may be retained for 90 days, unless a longer period is necessary to investigate a security incident;
- data processed on the basis of consent may be retained until consent is withdrawn, subject to any necessary evidence of the consent previously provided.
Data may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
9. Your Rights
Subject to the conditions established by applicable data-protection law, you may request:
- access to your personal data;
- correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- deletion of your personal data;
- restriction of processing;
- objection to processing based on legitimate interests;
- data portability, where applicable;
- withdrawal of consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
To exercise your rights, contact:
Please describe your request clearly. Additional information may be requested where reasonably necessary to verify your identity.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency — Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) or with the competent supervisory authority in your country of residence.

However, no website, email system or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
