5. Who else accesses your data

We work with providers acting as processors, who only handle the data under our instructions:

• Sanity (Sanity AS) — content platform where form submissions and attached résumés are stored.
• [COMPLETAR: hosting provider: Vercel Inc. / Netlify Inc. / whichever is contracted] — website hosting.
• Resend (Resend Inc.) — delivery of notification emails and auto-replies.

Ticket purchases happen on the external platforms RegFox (Webconnex LLC) and Universe (Live Nation), which act as independent controllers: the data you enter there is governed by their own policies.

We do not share your data with third parties except where legally required. [COMPLETAR: state whether data is shared with sponsors or partners, and in which cases]

6. International transfers

Some of the providers above are located outside the European Economic Area. Those transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or on an adequacy decision. [COMPLETAR: confirm the mechanism with legal counsel and link the safeguards]

7. Your rights

You may exercise your rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability at any time, and withdraw any consent you have given.

To do so, write to [COMPLETAR: email for rights requests] stating the right you wish to exercise and attaching proof of identity.

If you believe your request was not handled properly, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority: [COMPLETAR: authority and link]

8. Security

We apply technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access control over the systems where it is stored, and limiting authorised personnel.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect legal or operational changes. The version in force will always be published on this page with its update date.
