Section 3 Provision of personal data
There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide personal data. However, failure to provide the data referred to in section 2(4) above would make it technically impossible for us to provide the airable API service or to provide it with full functionality.
Section 4 Storage period
We store your data mentioned in Section 2(4) only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. The storage period for the data referred to in Section 2(4) is three years. The three-year period begins on the date of your last interaction with airable API. We store enquiries and correspondence with our customer service for five years. Error logs are stored for seven days, access logs for 30 days.
Section 5 Forwarding data
We transmit your data to the music service you use via the airable API. Some of these recipients are located in a country where the level of protection for personal data may not be equivalent to that of the European Union (EU) (known as third countries). We only transfer data to recipients in these third countries, i.e. in states outside the European Union (EU), or to international organisations if those recipients have provided appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Article 46 of the GDPR.
Section 6 Objecting to or withdrawing consent to the processing of your data
(1) If you have consented to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Such a withdrawal will affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data after you have informed us of your wishes.
(2) Where we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you can object to this data processing. This is the case if, for example, processing is not required in order to fulfil a contract with you, which we will illustrate in the following description of the functions. When exercising an objection of this kind, we ask that you provide us with reasons why we should not process your personal data. In the event that your objection is justified, we will check the facts and will either stop or adapt the data processing, or demonstrate to you our compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process your data.
