Legal
Privacy Policy
This policy describes what this website actually does today. It is not legal advice, and the label's registered legal entity and postal address still need to be filled in.
Who is responsible
Sodade operates this website and decides how the personal data described here is used. Contact: sodade.label@gmail.com.
To be completed: registered legal name and postal address, and whether a data protection officer is required.
What we collect
- Newsletter: your email address, the exact consent wording you agreed to, and the time you agreed. Stored only after you tick the consent box.
- Demo submissions: handled entirely on Trackstack's own platform. We receive what you send there; their privacy policy applies to that form.
- Email enquiries: whatever you write to us.
- Server logs: standard technical records, including IP address, kept by our hosting provider for security and troubleshooting.
We do not use advertising trackers, and we do not sell or rent personal data.
Why, and on what legal basis
- Newsletter emails — your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), confirmed by a double opt-in link.
- Replying to your enquiries and reviewing demos — our legitimate interest in running the label (Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Analytics, media players and marketing tools — your consent, given through the cookie banner.
- Keeping the site online and secure — our legitimate interest.
Cookies and embedded media
Only necessary storage runs before you choose. Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and Apple content stays blocked behind a placeholder until you allow the Media category, because loading it would send your IP address to those platforms. See the Cookie Policy or open .
How long we keep it
- Unconfirmed newsletter sign-ups: deleted after 30 days.
- Unsubscribed records: deleted after 30 days.
- Confirmed subscribers: kept until you unsubscribe, and in any case reviewed after 1095 days.
- Demo-related data: 365 days.
These periods are configurable and are the label's current working values, pending a final decision.
Who else receives data
The services below are the only external parties involved. Some are based outside the EEA; transfer safeguards have not yet been formally confirmed for every one of them.
- Lovable Cloud hosting and database — Serves the website and stores newsletter sign-ups. IP address in server logs, newsletter email address and consent record.
- Spotify — Release catalogue data and cover artwork; links to tracks. Catalogue data is fetched by our server, not your browser. Artwork images and any player load from Spotify only after media consent.
- SoundCloud — Official label track links and radio shows. IP address and device data when a SoundCloud player or image loads.
- Apple Music / iTunes — Matching official Apple Music links (server-side) and links out. Nothing until you click a link or media consent loads Apple content.
- YouTube — Label channel links; video embeds if added later. IP address and device data when a video loads.
- Beatport — Store links for releases. Nothing until you click the link.
- Trackstack — Demo submissions — the form is hosted by Trackstack, not by us. Whatever you enter on their page: name, email, links to your music. Handled under Trackstack's own privacy policy.
- Instagram (Meta) — Link to the label profile. Nothing until you click the link. No pixel or tracker is installed.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or object to processing, and you can withdraw consent at any time — for the newsletter, by using the unsubscribe link. Write to sodade.label@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority (in Greece, the Hellenic Data Protection Authority).
