1. Who we are
VSTD Music AB (corporate identity number 559558-9135), Stockholm, Sweden, is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. In data protection terms, we are the controller. VSTD Music AB is a part of VSTD Group AB.

2. What this policy covers
This policy explains how we handle personal data when you visit vstdmusic.com and when you contact us through the website or by email. If you become a customer or partner, the agreement for that service tells you how we handle personal data within it.
3. The personal data we collect
When you contact us. Your name, your email address, the content of your message and anything else you choose to include, and the date and time you sent it.
When you visit the website. To deliver the website, our hosting provider automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, the type of browser and device you use, the pages you request and the time of each request.
This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising tools. Its fonts and images are served from our own website, so your visit is not shared with font or analytics services.
4. Why we use your data, and on what legal basis
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Replying to your message and following up on your enquiry | Name, email address, message | Our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us (Article 6(1)(f)). If you ask about our services, taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement (Article 6(1)(b)). |

Netlify stores contact-form messages in the United States. Netlify, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission has found to give an adequate level of protection. For other transfers, Netlify relies on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
