1. General Information
The protection of your personal data is important to us. We process your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection law, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and Italian data protection law (Legislative Decree 196/2003, as amended).

3. Types of Data Collected
We collect and process the following categories of personal data: contact data (name, email address, phone number), communication data (messages sent via contact form or email), and usage data (pages visited, access times, IP address, browser type).
4. Server Log Files
When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically collects technical data (IP address, date and time of access, browser type, operating system, referrer URL). This data is required for the secure and stable operation of the website (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and is deleted or anonymized within a short period, unless needed for security purposes.
5. Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing
We process your data to provide and improve our website, to respond to inquiries, to organize and run the Gadersound Festival (including ticketing and sponsor coordination), and to comply with legal obligations. The legal basis is, depending on the case: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR), or our legitimate interests in operating and securing our website and event (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).
6. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Technically necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in a functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Non-essential cookies (e.g., for analytics or marketing) are only set with your prior consent via the cookie banner (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); you can change or withdraw your choices there at any time. You can also block cookies in your browser settings, though this may limit website functionality.
7. Third-Party Services
We may integrate third-party services (e.g., maps, fonts, ticketing providers). These providers may process your IP address and usage data. We use such services only in compliance with the GDPR and, where required, on the basis of your consent. If a provider processes data outside the EU/EEA, transfers take place only under appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses, Art. 44 ff. GDPR).
8. Data Sharing
We do not share your personal data with third parties unless you have given explicit consent, sharing is required by law, or it is necessary for the performance of a contract (e.g., ticketing or payment processing).
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated above or as required by statutory retention obligations (e.g., tax and commercial law, generally up to 10 years in Italy). After that, the data is deleted or anonymized.
10. Your Rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to: access your stored data (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21), and withdrawal of consent (Art. 7(3)). To exercise these rights, contact us at info@gadersound.com
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in Italy the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali (www.garanteprivacy.it).
