How we collect, use, and protect your personal information.
At Sound Of Carnatic, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit soundofcarnatic.com.
Last updated: 16 September 2026
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following personal data when you interact with our website or services:
- Newsletter signup (MailerLite popup): email address and any other fields you choose to submit in the MailerLite form (such as name)
- Email contact: if you write to us at info@soundofcarnatic.com, we receive whatever information you include in your message
- Technical data: basic device/browser information and cookies or similar technologies used by MailerLite when the newsletter popup is shown
We only collect data that you voluntarily provide, or that is necessary to run the newsletter form.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Send newsletters and updates about events, performances, and activities
- Respond to enquiries you send by email
- Communicate important information related to your participation or interest
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
3. Email Marketing (MailerLite)
We use MailerLite as our email marketing platform. Newsletter subscriptions are collected through a MailerLite popup form on our website. By subscribing, you acknowledge that your information will be transferred to MailerLite for processing in accordance with their privacy practices.
MailerLite may set cookies or load scripts when the popup form is shown so that the form can function correctly.
You can read MailerLite’s privacy policy here: https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following bases:
- Consent — when you subscribe to our newsletter via the MailerLite form
- Legitimate interests — to respond to messages you send us and to keep our website secure
You may withdraw newsletter consent at any time by:
- Clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails
- Contacting us at info@soundofcarnatic.com
5. Data Retention
Newsletter data is retained only while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your details are removed from our active mailing list in line with MailerLite’s tools and our practices.
Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any follow-up, unless a longer period is required for legal or administrative reasons.
6. Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
- Object to or restrict certain processing, where applicable
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@soundofcarnatic.com.
7. Data Security
We take appropriate measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. Third-party providers we use (such as MailerLite) apply their own security controls to the services they provide.
8. International Transfers
Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers (such as standard contractual clauses), as described in their privacy documentation.
