Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible for data processing?

SynToBe Records ZRH wants you to feel secure regarding your personal data and to be informed when your personal data is processed, which data is processed, and for what purpose — before, during, and after visiting and interacting with this website.

This website relates to the Swiss market. We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection regulations and other applicable legal provisions. We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy where necessary. You will find the current, binding version here.

2. Terms

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (for example, a name, contact details, or email address). Processing includes any handling of personal data, such as storing, disclosing, collecting, deleting, modifying, or destroying it.

3. Do we process personal data?

3.1. General

Your data is a matter of trust for us. We only collect and process personal data that we need to operate this website, respond to enquiries, or fulfil legal obligations. We do not create profiles of you, do not send personalised advertising, and do not sell your data. Data is processed only for the stated purposes and is not shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

3.2. Website

This is a static artist website hosted on Cloudflare Workers. When you visit, technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and access time may be processed in server logs. We store a locale preference cookie (`syntobe_locale`) so the site can remember your language choice. We do not use analytics or marketing cookies. Music players from SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube are embedded on some pages. These providers may process data when you interact with an embed or follow an outbound link; their privacy policies then apply. Outbound links to social platforms (GitHub, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, and others) transfer you to third-party websites only when you click them.

3.3. Categories of personal data

We may process the following categories of personal data:

• Contact details (such as your name and email address when you contact us)
• Technical data (such as IP address, browser information, and access logs)
• Locale and language preference (stored in a cookie)
• Information you provide to us by email

4. When and for what purposes do we process your personal data?

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Operating and providing this website
• Remembering your language preference
• Responding to enquiries sent by email
• Maintaining system security and stability
• Complying with legal and regulatory obligations
• Asserting or defending legal claims where necessary

5. On what legal basis do we process personal data?

We process personal data to fulfil pre-contractual or contractual obligations, to protect legitimate interests (including operating this website in a user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner, ensuring information security, and communicating with visitors), to comply with legal obligations, and where applicable based on your consent.

6. Will your personal data be disclosed to third parties or abroad?

We avoid disclosing personal data where possible. Where permitted and appropriate, we may use service providers for hosting (Cloudflare), email communication, and embedded content from SoundCloud, Spotify, and YouTube/Google. These providers may process data in Switzerland, the EU/EEA, or other countries. Where required, we use appropriate contractual safeguards. Data you send us by email is not published on this website.

7. Retention period of personal data

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law. Server and operational logs are generally kept for a short period (typically up to one month). Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, and longer where legal retention obligations apply.

8. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Wherever possible, data communication uses encrypted HTTPS/TLS. We have no control over external websites or embedded services linked from this site and cannot guarantee their security or content.

9. Obligation to provide personal data

You are generally not legally obliged to provide us with personal data. However, certain technical data is processed automatically when you visit the website. If you contact us by email, we need the information you choose to provide in order to respond.

10. Profiling

We do not use profiling to inform you about services or to send you advertising.

11. What are your rights?

Under applicable Swiss data protection law, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

11.1. Right to information

You may request information about whether we process personal data about you, what data is processed, for what purpose, how long it is retained, and to whom it is disclosed.

11.2. Right to rectification, erasure, or restriction

You may request that inaccurate or incomplete data be corrected, that data be deleted where no longer necessary, or that processing be restricted in certain cases.

11.3. Right to data portability

Where applicable, you may request that personal data you have provided to us be handed over or forwarded in a standard electronic format.

11.4. Revocation and right to object

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests. Exercising these rights may require you to verify your identity.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): https://www.edoeb.admin.ch
