Under applicable law, The Brian Nimens Corporation operating as FreeSFX.co.uk is the "data controller" of data collected through the Platform. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Platform.

Information We Collect
When you use the Platform, we may automatically gather your IP address. The following information is gathered when you enter it: email address, individual name. If you do not wish to provide this information, you will not be able to create an account, log in, or download audio files. We do not verify any of the data provided by users.

Where Information Is Processed
The Company is based in Canada. No matter where you are located, you consent to the processing and transferring of your information in and to Canada. The laws of Canada governing data collection and use may not be as comprehensive or protective as the laws of the country where you live.

How We Use Your Personal Information
By using the Platform and providing us with your Name and Email Address, you are granting us your consent to use your Information in the following ways:
Handling user requests, such as reaching out if we identify a problem you're having with the Platform. If you encounter a problem using the Platform and you reach out to us for assistance, we may use the contact information you previously entered to find more information about the issue and help address it. If the Platform generates an error while you're using it, we may log your name, email, or IP address to help us diagnose and fix the problem. In some rare cases, we may reach out to you once the error has been resolved. No one outside of the Company’s employees and technical professionals contracted by the Company for this express purpose has access to these logs. We may also reach out preemptively to notify you of important events, sales or product releases. Your personal information may be shared with other businesses owned by The Brian Nimens Corporation Limited for promotional purposes. Each of those businesses complies with GDPR in the handling of your personal data. We will never sell or share your contact information with third parties for marketing or any other purposes not explicitly outlined in this Policy.

Google Analytics
The Platform uses Google Analytics to track anonymized statistics about users and technology, which helps us improve the Platform. For example, we might look at trends in how many users use specific web browsers to help us determine which ones to support. We do not use this information to follow individuals but instead look for broader trends. Please visit http://google.com/analytics to learn more about how Google Analytics handles your personal information.

Meeting Legal Requirements
The Company reserves the right to disclose any content, records, or electronic communication of any kind (including personal information or private electronic communication transmitted on the Platform): (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, or government request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate Company; or (iii) to protect the rights or property of Company or its users, sponsors, providers, licensors, or merchants. Company also reserves the right to reject any transaction or request for download from any user.

Data Retention
We generally retain personal data for so long as it may be relevant to the purposes identified herein. To dispose of personal data, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate steps. Data may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.

Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information provided to the Platform from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no Internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. In particular, email sent to or from the Platform may not be secure. Therefore, you should take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. Please keep this in mind when disclosing any information via the Internet.

Your Data Rights and Choices
You may, at any time, request your account be deleted from the Platform. Requests can be sent by email to our contact email address and will be processed within 2 business days. Deleting your information will effectively close your online account and render it inactive. You will have no access to your account. Please note that such records as the Company would be required by law to maintain will be maintained.

Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Policy at any time and from time to time without prior notice. Please review this policy periodically.

We will contact our internet watchdogs to have the infringement alert removed. You can still use the music with the infringement alert, but ads will be placed on your video - if that doesn't matter to you, it is okay with us because we get the revenue from the ad placements.
