WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT
The type of personal data we process may include (as applicable) the following depending on your use of the Website:
Identity Data IP address.
The pages of the Website that you visit and usage information for the Website.
Any sound data that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person and that you voluntarily provide by submitting a sound recording on the Website.

We may collect information direct from you and use, disclose and store it when:
you access, use or interact on the Website at www.absurda.ch;
you correspond/interact with us via email, phone, social media or other channels;
you make any enquiry or complaint; or
you provide data for other legal and regulatory purposes.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We use your personal data for a number of purposes but only where we're allowed to by law.
We may process your personal data where such processing is necessary or permitted:
to comply with any applicable law or regulation; and/or for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us. These legitimate interests include commercial interests and our internal administrative purposes. Where we rely on legitimate interests as the lawful basis for processing your personal data, we'll put in place appropriate safeguards to protect your data and to ensure that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms are not overridden by those legitimate interests.
If you upload Sound Data onto the Website, then we may process that data for the purposes of moderating and deleting it in order to ensure that it is excluded from the Website.
We do not collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences (including terrorist offences and fraudulent activity). You should not provide us with any such information on the Website.
We may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we're using your data.
We'll only use your personal data for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.
If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we'll notify you (which may be by way of update to this privacy notice) and we'll explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent where this is required or permitted by law.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA WITH OTHERS
We won't share any of your personal data with third parties except as set out in this section or otherwise notified to you or agreed between you and us from time to time.
We may share personal data with partnered companies for the purposes outlined in this privacy notice. We may also share personal data with third party service providers who we engage to provide services which facilitate our business and we may also need to share personal data with other third parties in order to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. Below is a list of specific third parties and other categories of third parties with whom we may share your personal data:
our data hosting provider;
third party platforms including Instagram and linkedin; and
any similar or replacement third parties from time to time.
We ensure that any third party engaged by us who processes your personal data in connection with the purposes listed above has policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance with data protection laws.

We'll remain the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data notwithstanding that third parties may operate as a joint controller with us. For some processing activities we may act as a processor for a third party and, in such circumstances, the third party will be responsible for providing you with the processing information required under data protection laws.
We may share your personal data with third parties where we're required to do so by law or regulation (such as in connection with an investigation of fraud or other legal enquiry) or in connection with other legal proceedings (including where we believe that your actions violate applicable laws or any agreement with us).
In the event that our business or any part of it is sold or integrated with another business, your details may be disclosed to our advisers and those of any prospective purchaser and will be passed to the new owners of the business.

HOW WE STORE AND RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA
As a minimum, we need to store your personal data for as long as is necessary to enable us to fulfil the purpose for which it is processed, including to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations (e.g. relating to record keeping) and to exercise or defend any legal claims.
For as long as we do store your data, we follow generally accepted industry standards and maintain reasonable safeguards to attempt to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of the information you have provided. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers.
We'll notify you without undue delay in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws, if we have reason to believe that there has been a personal data breach by us which could adversely affect your rights and freedoms and we're required by law to notify you.
We maintain and implement a data retention policy and will delete personal data in accordance with this.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Subject to any conditions and requirements set out in data protection laws, you may have some, or all, of the following rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you:
the right to request a copy of your personal data held by us;
the right to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by us;
the right to request that we erase personal data we hold about you;
the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data;
the right to have your personal data transferred to another organisation;
the right to object to certain types of processing of your personal data by us;
the right to request that you are not subject to any decision which is based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where this produces legal effects or otherwise significantly affects you; and
the right to complain.

PLEASE NOTE that these rights are not absolute in all situations and may be subject to conditions and provisions set out in data protection laws. We cannot, therefore, guarantee that we'll be able to honour any request from you in connection with the rights set out above. (For example, even if you request that we delete your personal data, we may be required by law to retain some personal data for accounting and record keeping purposes or in order that we comply with our legal and regulatory obligations).

The Website may link or redirect to other websites, social media accounts or other content which is not under our control. Such links or redirections are not endorsements of such websites or representation of our affiliation with them in any way and such third party websites are outside the scope of this privacy notice.
