We use cookies to distinguish you from other “Users” within “Song Stork.
A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive.
We use the following cookies:
Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of the “Song Stork” website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of the website.
Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around the “Song Stork” website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way the “Song Stork” website works, for example, by ensuring that “Users” are finding what they are looking for easily.

Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visits to the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. “We” will use this information to make the advertising displayed more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.

DATA RETENTION
“We” will only retain your “Personal Data” for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for “Personal Data”, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the “Personal Data”, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your “Personal Data”, the purposes for which we process your “Personal Data” and whether “We” can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances we may anonymize your “Personal Data” (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Your legal rights:
Request access to your “Personal Data” (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the “Personal Data” we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
Request correction of the “Personal Data” that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you give us.
Request erasure of your “Personal Data”. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove “Personal Data” where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your “Personal Data” where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your “Personal Data” to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your “Personal Data” where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your “Personal Data” for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your “Personal Data”. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your “Personal Data” if: (a) you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your “Personal Data” to you or to a third party. “We” will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your “Personal Data” in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your “Personal Data”. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your “Personal Data” (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What “We” may need from you:
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your “Personal Data” (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that “Personal Data” is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
This “Policy” may be revised periodically and this will be reflected in the “date last modified” set forth in Section 14 below. If you login to the “Song Stork” website after an update to this “Policy”, we will advise you of the update. Should you continue to use the “Song Stork” website following such updates, any such use shall be governed by the revised “Policy”.
