Recommended statement where no data is sold

We do not sell personal information for money.

Where required, requests may be submitted through:

[PRIVACY REQUEST LINK OR EMAIL]

10. International transfers

Some service providers may process information outside your country.

Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, which may include adequacy decisions, contractual protections or approved Standard Contractual Clauses.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

request access to your personal information;
correct inaccurate information;
request deletion;
restrict certain processing;
object to certain processing;
receive portable data;
withdraw consent;
opt out of certain marketing or data-sharing activities;
complain to a data-protection authority.

These rights may be subject to legal exceptions, identity verification and mandatory record-retention requirements.

The GDPR gives individuals rights regarding their personal data and requires organisations to help them exercise those rights.

To submit a request, contact:

[PRIVACY EMAIL]

Please include enough information for us to identify your account and understand the request. We may request reasonable proof of identity.

14. Account deletion

You may request deletion of your account through [ACCOUNT SETTINGS OR PRIVACY EMAIL].

Deleting an account may not immediately delete information that we must retain, including:

invoices and tax records;
payment and fraud-prevention records;
evidence of licences granted;
records required to resolve disputes;
information required by law.

Where possible, retained information will be restricted to the necessary purpose.

15. Licence and order records

We may retain order and licence records after account closure because they may be needed to:

prove that a Licence was granted;
confirm the Licence Options accepted at purchase;
support the Customer;
handle ownership or Content ID disputes;
comply with legal and accounting duties;
protect the rights of the Customer and Licensor.

Deleting an account does not automatically cancel a valid Licence or erase the historical evidence of that Licence.

The Website is not intended for children below the minimum age at which they may independently consent to online services in their jurisdiction.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has provided information unlawfully may contact [PRIVACY EMAIL].

17. Third-party links and services

The Website may link to platforms, distributors, social networks or other third-party services.

Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We are not responsible for how an independent third party processes information after you leave the Website.

18. Automated decision-making

We do not normally make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects solely through automated processing.

Automated tools may be used to detect suspicious payments, abuse, unauthorised access or security risks. Where required by law, you may request human review of a significant automated decision.

19. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when:

our services change;
providers change;
new features are introduced;
legal requirements change;
our data practices change.

The updated version will be posted with a new “Last updated” date.
