7. Legal Basis for Processing
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal information under one or more appropriate legal bases.
Performance of a Contract
Processing may be necessary to fulfil a purchase, deliver digital content or merchandise, process an order, or provide requested customer support.
Legal Obligations
Certain information may need to be processed and retained to comply with tax, accounting, consumer-protection, fraud-prevention, or other legal requirements.
Legitimate Interests
We may process information where reasonably necessary for legitimate interests such as operating and securing the website, preventing fraud, improving our services, and protecting our legal rights, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
Consent
We may rely on your consent for activities such as certain marketing communications, optional analytics, advertising technologies, or non-essential cookies where consent is legally required.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
8. Email and Marketing Communications
If you voluntarily subscribe to our mailing list or otherwise consent to marketing communications, we may use your contact information to send news about Einar Solvik, music releases, merchandise, events, promotions, and related updates.
You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe mechanism included in applicable emails or by contacting us.
Transactional messages relating to purchases, payments, downloads, deliveries, account security, or customer service are not marketing communications and may still be sent where necessary.
9. Service Providers and Data Sharing
We may share personal information with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website and provide our services.
Depending on the services used by einarsolvik.com, these may include:
- Bandzoogle for website hosting, website functionality and e-commerce

We also do not disclose personal information to third parties for their independent purposes except where described in this Policy, authorized by you, or required or permitted by law.
10. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal information outside Romania or the European Economic Area (EEA).
Where GDPR requirements apply to such transfers, appropriate legal safeguards will be used where required. Depending on the circumstances, these may include an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, or another legally recognized transfer mechanism.
11. Cookies and Similar Technologies
einarsolvik.com may use cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies may be strictly necessary for functions such as:
- Website operation
- Security
- Shopping and checkout functionality
- Payment processing
- Remembering website preferences
Other technologies may be used for:
- Analytics
- Website performance
- Embedded media
- Social-media functionality
- Advertising or marketing, if implemented
Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be activated only after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
You may be able to manage your choices through the website's cookie-consent controls and through your browser settings.
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before consent was withdrawn.
12. Embedded Content and Third-Party Platforms
The website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms.
Embedded content may allow the relevant third party to receive technical information about your interaction with that content, subject to applicable consent requirements.
When you visit or interact directly with an independent third-party platform, that platform's own privacy policy and terms apply.
We are not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party websites and platforms.
13. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information.
For example, transaction, invoice, accounting and tax information may need to be retained for legally required periods even after your relationship with us has ended.
Other information may be deleted or anonymized when it is no longer reasonably necessary.
14. Your GDPR and Privacy Rights
Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
- Request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances
- Request restriction of processing
- Object to certain processing
- Receive certain personal information in a portable format
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
- Object to direct marketing
- Lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority
These rights may be subject to conditions and exceptions under applicable law.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
15. Complaints and Supervisory Authority
If you have concerns about how your personal information is handled, we encourage you to contact us first so that we can investigate your request.
Where the GDPR applies, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.
For an operator established in Romania, the relevant supervisory authority is the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing (ANSPDCP).
You may also be entitled to contact the supervisory authority in the EU/EEA country where you live or work or where an alleged infringement occurred.
16. Children's Privacy
The website and store are not specifically directed at children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental or guardian consent would be legally required.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information contrary to applicable legal requirements, please contact us.
17. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, destruction, or misuse.
Payment processing is handled through specialized third-party payment providers where applicable.
However, no website, electronic storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
18. Automated Fraud Prevention
Payments and transactions may be evaluated by payment processors or fraud-prevention services using automated systems designed to identify potentially fraudulent or suspicious transactions.
These systems may consider transaction, device, location, payment, and behavioral information in accordance with the applicable provider's policies and legal obligations.
Where applicable law grants rights relating to automated decision-making, those rights remain unaffected.
19. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, business practices, service providers, products, or legal obligations change.
The current version will be published on this page and identified by its Last updated date.
Material changes will be communicated where required by applicable law.
