To deliver our GuitarStories services, we do rely on a number of independent companies or service providers, such as for supplying a number of infrastructure or IT services. It is possible that such companies have access to certain data and information. GuitarStories only allows this to the extent that this is necessary for the execution of their assignment and only when these companies offer the necessary guarantees regarding the access and possible use of this data and information.
The GuitarStories website contains social media "buttons" from social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google+ and YouTube. These allow you to share information on these platforms. These buttons are executed and managed by the social networks themselves. GuitarStories has no control over the applications that these companies create with these buttons. We advise you to read the terms of use and the privacy policy of these social networks. This privacy policy only governs the use of the data collected by GuitarStories.
In certain circumstances, we will have to share your information with the authorities or pass it on to them. This may be, for example, to comply with the law or a legal decision, to detect and address fraud or security issues or to protect the rights of GuitarStories.
You can view the personal data that GuitarStories processes about you at any time and have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected or deleted if wanted. You can contact GuitarStories by using the contact information at the top of this document. If you exercise your rights, we ask you to be as specific as possible, so that we can deal with your question concretely and correctly. We also point out that we need to be able to verify your identity before you can exercise your rights and to avoid that anyone else abuses them.
GuitarStories believes it is important that your data is treated secure. That is why we use various security technologies and measures to adequately protect your data against unauthorized access, use, loss or disclosure. Unfortunately, the exchange of information via the internet is never 100% secure. Although we do everything we can to safeguard the security of your data, we can not guarantee this in absolute terms.
GuitarStories will update this privacy statement in some cases as a result of changed services, feedback from customers or changes to privacy legislation.
