For Marketing and Advertising: We may utilize your Personal Information, along with data on which advertisements you've viewed and other collected information, to deliver personalized content and evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. You can control whether or not to allow location-based services on your device through your settings. However, restricting this could limit your access to some personalized features of the Chizuko Music LLC platform.

For Statistical Analysis to Improve the Platform: We aggregate usage data and compile statistics to help us understand user behavior and preferences on the platform.

LEGAL BASIS FOR OUR USE (APPLICABLE ONLY TO VISITORS FROM THE EEA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM):

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), the legal grounds for collecting and using your Personal Information will vary depending on the type of information and the context in which we gather it.

However, we will only collect your Personal Information where we have a legitimate reason to do so. This may include situations where you have provided your explicit consent, where the information is necessary for the execution of a contract with you, where we have a legal obligation to collect it, or where the processing of your information is necessary for our legitimate business interests (such as for administrative purposes, direct marketing, product enhancement, fraud prevention, or maintaining information security) and these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.

If we request Personal Information to comply with legal obligations or fulfill a contract, we will make this necessity clear at the point of collection. We will also inform you if the provision of such information is mandatory and explain the implications if you choose not to provide it.

Similarly, when we process your Personal Information based on our legitimate interests (or those of a third party), we will provide transparent information about those interests and ensure you understand why we are using your data.

We may keep your Personal Information for a longer duration if there is a pending complaint, or if we reasonably anticipate potential litigation related to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider factors such as the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes of processing, whether these can be achieved through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your data; for more information, please see the "YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS" section below. In some cases, we may anonymize your Personal Information (so it is no longer associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
