Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract – Processing necessary to provide the Sonosfera service you have subscribed to (account management, authentication, billing, music streaming).
• Legitimate interests – Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests (security, fraud prevention, service improvement), where these do not override your rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation – Processing required to comply with applicable laws (e.g., tax and accounting records).
• Consent – Where we send you optional marketing communications or use optional analytics cookies, we rely on your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent at any time.

• Providing access to music streaming and the Sonosfera platform
• Account creation, management, and authentication
• Enforcing one-device-per-location restrictions
• Processing payments and managing subscriptions via Stripe
• Sending transactional emails (billing notices, service updates, security alerts)
• Responding to your support enquiries
• Improving the Service based on aggregated, anonymised usage patterns

We do NOT sell your data, share it for third-party marketing, or use it for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.

All sub-processors are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that require them to process data only as instructed, implement appropriate security measures, and comply with applicable data protection laws.

Some of our sub-processors may process data outside the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

• EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or UK International Data Transfer Agreements
• Adequacy decisions recognised by the UK and EU (e.g., the EU-US Data Privacy Framework)
• Contractual commitments from processors to maintain equivalent levels of data protection

When data is deleted, it is permanently removed from our active systems. Backups containing residual data are purged within 90 days of deletion.

Under the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and (where applicable) the EU GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Access – Request a copy of your personal data (Subject Access Request)
• Rectification – Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Erasure – Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction – Restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances
• Portability – Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection – Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent – Where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time
• Complain – Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

To exercise your rights, contact us at hello@trysonosfera.com. We will respond within 30 days. For EU residents, you may also contact your local supervisory authority.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest
• Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms (never stored in plaintext)
• Role-based access controls for internal systems
• Regular security reviews and dependency updates
• Supabase Row Level Security (RLS) policies for database access

We use essential cookies for authentication and security. Optional analytics and marketing cookies are used only with consent. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

Sonosfera is a B2B service designed for businesses. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notification at least 30 days before taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
