3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to process your personal data:

• Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): Processing necessary to provide the Service you have subscribed to, including account management, feature delivery, and payment processing.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests — such as improving the Service, ensuring security, and conducting analytics — provided those interests are not overridden by your data-protection rights.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Where you have given explicit consent, for example by opting in to marketing emails or accepting non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): Processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, such as tax reporting or responding to lawful data-access requests.

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with the categories of recipients described below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purposes:

4.1 Sub-processors

4.2 Other Disclosures

• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you of any such change.
• With your consent: We may share information with third parties when you have given us explicit permission to do so.

5. International Data Transfers

Vibeless and its sub-processors operate infrastructure in the United States and other countries. If you are located outside the United States, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our sub-processors maintain facilities.

Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, United Kingdom, or Switzerland to countries that have not been deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards including:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
• Data Processing Agreements with each sub-processor that include equivalent protections.
• Any additional supplementary measures necessary to ensure an essentially equivalent level of protection as required by applicable law.

You may request a copy of the relevant transfer mechanisms by contacting us at privacy@vibeless.pro.

6. Data Retention Periods

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. The specific retention periods are as follows:

• Account data:Retained for the duration of your active account and for up to 30 days after account deletion to allow for recovery, after which it is permanently deleted.
• User-generated content:Retained for the duration of your active account. Upon account deletion, content is purged within 30 days.
• Payment and billing records:Retained for a minimum of 7 years to comply with tax and accounting obligations.

• Support correspondence:Retained for up to 3 years after the last interaction for quality assurance and to resolve potential disputes.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you.
