Privacy Policy

Last updated: 6 September 2026

1. Data Controller

The data controller is Giuliano Vangelista / GV Sound Studio, Piazza Donatori di Sangue 3, 37053 Cerea (VR), Italy, VAT No. IT05110970232. Privacy enquiries may be sent to info@gvsoundstudio.com.

2. Personal Data Processed

Depending on how you use the website or contact GV Sound Studio, personal data may include:

  • your email address and information contained in correspondence;
  • audio files and related project material that you voluntarily submit;
  • information necessary to prepare quotations, provide services, invoice clients and manage the contractual relationship;
  • technical information normally generated when accessing a website, such as IP address, browser or device information and server logs, where collected by the hosting or technical infrastructure.

3. Purposes and Legal Bases

Personal data is processed as necessary to respond to enquiries and demo requests, prepare quotations, take steps requested before entering into a contract, perform agreed mixing/mastering services, communicate with clients, deliver files, handle revisions or refunds, comply with legal and tax obligations, and protect the security and proper operation of the website and services.

Depending on the purpose, processing may be based on steps taken at your request before a contract or performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or the legitimate interests of GV Sound Studio in operating and securing its services. Where consent is legally required for a specific activity, it will be requested separately.

4. Audio Files

Audio files submitted for a free mastering demo are used solely to evaluate or prepare the requested demo and to communicate the result to you. Files submitted for paid work are processed only as necessary to provide the agreed service, manage revisions, deliver the work and handle related requests.

Submitted material is not sold and is not published or used for promotion without permission.

5. Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any period required by applicable legal, accounting or tax obligations. Audio and working files are not guaranteed to be stored indefinitely.

You may request deletion of submitted audio material, subject to data that must be retained by law or that is reasonably necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

6. Service Providers and Recipients

Data may be processed by hosting, email, storage, IT or other technical service providers where necessary to operate the website and provide the requested services. Such providers may act as data processors or independent controllers depending on the service concerned.

Data may also be disclosed where required by law, regulation, court order or a competent public authority.

7. External Services and Links

The website contains links to third-party platforms and social networks. When you follow an external link, the third party's own privacy terms apply.

The website currently loads the Sora typeface through Google Fonts. As a result, your browser may connect to Google infrastructure when loading the page and transmit technical information such as your IP address. Google's own privacy information applies to that processing.

8. Cookies

The current website does not intentionally use advertising or analytics cookies. Technical data may still be processed as part of normal web hosting and network operation. If non-essential tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this policy and any required consent mechanism should be updated accordingly.

9. International Transfers

Some third-party technical services may involve processing outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, transfers must be based on a mechanism permitted by data-protection law, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards.

10. Your Rights

Subject to the conditions set by applicable data-protection law, you may request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Requests may be sent to info@gvsoundstudio.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection supervisory authority.

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, services or applicable legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page.
