referring website;
pages visited;
approximate geographic information derived from technical data;

7. Email Marketing and Commercial Communications

If you subscribe to a Globe King Records mailing list, we may use your email address to send newsletters, announcements, music-related content, product information, promotions or other commercial communications. Where applicable law requires express consent, we will obtain that consent before sending commercial electronic messages. Commercial electronic messages sent to recipients in Canada are generally subject to Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), including requirements concerning consent, identification information and an unsubscribe mechanism. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in the message or by contacting us at info@globekingrecords.com. Transactional, service-related or other non-marketing communications may continue where reasonably necessary to provide a service, complete a transaction, respond to a request or comply with a legal obligation.

8. Mailchimp and Email Service Providers

We currently use third-party email service providers to manage email communications where applicable. At the time of publication, Mailchimp may be used for email-list and marketing communication functions. If our email provider changes, we may update this Privacy Policy accordingly. Email service providers may process information such as your email address, subscription status, communication preferences and interaction with emails, subject to their own terms and privacy practices.

9. Payments and Transactions

Globe King Records may use third-party payment processors when online purchasing functionality is enabled. At the time of publication, Globe King Records does not represent that a particular payment processor is permanently used for all transactions. When purchasing functionality is introduced or changed, the applicable payment provider may collect and process information necessary to complete the transaction. Globe King Records does not intend to receive or store complete payment-card numbers when those details are handled directly by a third-party payment processor. Payment providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

10. Affiliate Links

Globe King Records may participate in affiliate programs. These may include services such as:

Amazon Associates;
zZounds; and
other affiliate programs that may be added in the future.

When you click an affiliate link, the relevant affiliate network or merchant may use cookies, tracking parameters or other technologies to attribute a transaction or referral. Affiliate tracking may allow the third party to determine that a visitor arrived through a particular referral link and, where applicable, whether a qualifying purchase occurred. Affiliate relationships do not give Globe King Records access to your complete payment information.

11. YouTube and Embedded Third-Party Content

The website may contain embedded YouTube videos or links to YouTube and other third-party platforms. When you interact with embedded or linked third-party content, those services may collect information according to their own privacy policies and technologies. Your interaction with a third-party platform is governed by that platform's terms and privacy practices rather than this Privacy Policy.

12. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

website functionality;
remembering preferences;
security;
maintaining sessions;
measuring website performance;
analytics;
affiliate attribution; or
other functions introduced as the website evolves.

We aim to use only technologies reasonably necessary for the operation and legitimate improvement of the website. Where applicable law requires prior consent for non-essential cookies or similar technologies, we will seek that consent before using them. Where applicable law requires information or consent concerning technologies capable of identifying, locating or profiling individuals, we will provide the required information and controls. Québec's private-sector privacy legislation specifically addresses technologies used for identification, localization or profiling. Cookie availability and functionality may change as website features and third-party services change.

13. Analytics and Tracking

Globe King Records may introduce analytics or other measurement technologies in the future, such as website analytics, search-performance tools, advertising technologies or similar services. We will not describe a particular analytics or advertising service as active unless it is actually deployed. If such technologies are introduced, this Privacy Policy and, where required, applicable consent mechanisms will be updated accordingly.

14. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use service providers to operate the business and website. Depending on the services actually used, these may include providers for:

website hosting;
domain and technical services;
email delivery;
payment processing;
digital-product delivery;
website security;
analytics;
affiliate tracking;
cloud storage;
communications;
accounting;
professional services; and
other necessary business functions.

We seek to limit service-provider access to information reasonably necessary for the service being provided. Where appropriate, we may use contractual, technical or organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

15. Information Processed Outside Québec or Canada

Some service providers may process or store personal information outside Québec or Canada. Where Québec law applies, Globe King Records will take the measures required before communicating personal information outside Québec, including assessing relevant privacy factors and considering the sensitivity of the information, purposes of use, contractual or other safeguards, and the legal framework applicable in the destination jurisdiction. Where required, appropriate contractual or other safeguards will be implemented. International processing may also be subject to the privacy laws of the jurisdiction in which the information is processed.

16. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary:

to service providers acting on our behalf;
to payment processors;
to email or communications providers;
to hosting and technical providers;
to professional advisers;
to accountants or tax professionals;
to legal advisers;
to government authorities where required or permitted by law;
to law-enforcement authorities where legally authorized;
to protect our legal rights;
to investigate fraud, security incidents or unlawful activity;
in connection with a business transaction, restructuring, sale or transfer of assets, where permitted by law; or
with your consent.

We do not sell personal information as a standalone business asset.

17. User-Submitted Information

If you voluntarily submit information through the website, email, social media or another communication channel, we may process that information for the purpose for which you provided it and for related business, legal or security purposes permitted by law. If you submit personal information belonging to another individual, you are responsible for ensuring that you are authorized to provide it and that doing so complies with applicable law.

18. Customer Content and Reviews

If customer accounts, reviews, testimonials, comments or other user-submitted content are introduced in the future, additional rules may apply. Globe King Records will not publicly publish a customer's testimonial, review or identifiable endorsement for promotional purposes merely because the customer provided it privately, unless appropriate permission or another lawful basis exists.

19. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

providing services;
completing transactions;
maintaining business and accounting records;
complying with legal or tax obligations;
resolving disputes;
preventing fraud;
protecting legal rights; and
maintaining appropriate business records.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely delete, destroy or anonymize it, subject to legal, technical or operational requirements. Certain records may need to be retained for longer periods where required by law or reasonably necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

20. Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information we hold. These measures may include:

access controls;
password protection;
security updates;
limiting access to information;
secure service-provider arrangements;
monitoring or investigating suspicious activity;
backups where appropriate; and
other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information.

No website, electronic transmission, storage system or internet connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Security safeguards are reviewed and adapted as reasonably necessary to address changing risks. Canadian privacy guidance similarly emphasizes safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of personal information and ongoing review as risks and technology evolve.

21. Privacy Incidents and Breaches

If Globe King Records has reason to believe that a confidentiality incident involving personal information has occurred, we will take reasonable steps to:

contain the incident;
investigate what happened;
reduce the risk of harm;
prevent similar incidents where reasonably possible;
document the incident where required; and
notify affected individuals or regulatory authorities where required by applicable law.

Under Québec law, an incident presenting a risk of serious harm may require notification to the Commission d'accès à l'information and to affected individuals. Québec also requires businesses to maintain an incident register in accordance with applicable requirements.

22. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy law applies, you may have rights including:

requesting access to personal information we hold about you;
requesting correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
requesting information about how your personal information is used or disclosed;
withdrawing consent where consent is the legal basis for processing;
requesting deletion or destruction where applicable;
requesting restriction of certain processing where applicable;
objecting to certain uses where applicable;
requesting portability where applicable; and
filing a complaint with the applicable privacy regulator.

The precise rights available to you depend on applicable law. For example, Canadian privacy principles generally recognize rights of access and correction, subject to applicable exceptions.

23. How to Make a Privacy Request

To make a privacy request, contact: Globe King Records Privacy Contact: info@globekingrecords.com Please describe your request clearly enough for us to understand what information or processing you are referring to. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests in order to protect personal information from unauthorized disclosure. We will process privacy requests within the timelines and subject to the conditions, exceptions and verification requirements established by applicable law.

24. Withdrawal of Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent subject to applicable legal or contractual restrictions. Withdrawal of consent does not necessarily affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal or processing that may continue on another lawful basis. For marketing communications, you may unsubscribe using the mechanism provided in the communication or contact info@globekingrecords.com.

25. Children's Privacy

The website and its products are intended for individuals aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13 where applicable law prohibits such collection. If we become aware that we have unintentionally collected personal information from a child in circumstances where it should not have been collected, we will take reasonable steps to address and delete the information where appropriate and legally required.

26. Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, retailers, manufacturers, affiliate partners, social networks or other services. Globe King Records does not control the privacy practices of those third parties. You should review the applicable privacy policy of any third-party service before providing personal information to it. Your use of third-party websites and services is governed by their own terms and privacy practices.

27. Social Media

Globe King Records may maintain profiles or publish content on third-party social-media platforms. If you interact with Globe King Records through those platforms, the platform may collect and process information according to its own privacy practices. Globe King Records does not control the information practices of those platforms.

28. Business Transfers

If Globe King Records undergoes a sale, restructuring, merger, transfer of assets or similar business transaction, personal information may be transferred where permitted by applicable law and where reasonably necessary for the transaction or continued operation of the business. Any such transfer will remain subject to applicable privacy obligations.

29. Legal and Regulatory Disclosures

We may collect, use, preserve or disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to:

comply with applicable laws;
respond to lawful requests;
comply with court orders or legal proceedings;
prevent fraud or unlawful activity;
protect our rights or property;
investigate security incidents;
enforce our agreements; or

new website features;
new products or services;
new service providers;
new tracking or analytics technologies;
changes in privacy laws;
changes in business practices; or
other operational or legal developments.

When we make material changes, we will provide notice in a manner appropriate to the circumstances and as required by applicable law. The current version will be identified by its Last Updated date.

Globe King Records may make this Privacy Policy available in English and French. The English and French versions are intended to be equally authoritative. If an inconsistency exists between versions, the interpretation required by applicable law will govern. Any automatic translation generated through a browser or translation widget is provided for convenience and does not replace the official English or French versions published by Globe King Records.

32. Applicable Privacy Laws

This Privacy Policy is intended to operate alongside, and not replace, any mandatory privacy rights or obligations applicable to you. Depending on the circumstances, applicable laws may include Québec privacy legislation, Canadian privacy legislation, anti-spam requirements, or privacy legislation applicable in another jurisdiction. Where a mandatory law gives you rights or protections that are greater than those described in this Privacy Policy, those mandatory rights remain unaffected.
