Privacy Policy

This Privacy policy was published on 14 February 2025

We collect certain identifying personal data when you sign up to our Service such as your name, email address, PayPal address (if different from email address), and telephone number. The personal data we collect from you is disclosed only in accordance with our Terms of Service and/or this Privacy Policy. Whenever you visit our Site, we may collect non-identifying information from you, such as referring URL, browser, operating system, cookie information, and Internet Service Provider. Without a subpoena, voluntary compliance on the part of your Internet Service Provider, or additional records from a third party, this information alone cannot usually be used to identify you.

Children’s privacy

In various countries, local data protection laws treat individuals under a certain age as children whose personal information requires additional protection under such laws (“children”). For example, the relevant age of a child for the purposes of obtaining valid consent from individuals to collect their personal information by online means is 13 in the UK and 16 in Ireland.

If you believe your child has provided us with personal information without your authorisation and you would like to have the personal information deleted, contact us as described below.

The information we collect

Personal data and other personal information. When you interact with our sites, we may collect and combine different types of personal information. We refer to this as “information” for short. The information may include:

Registration, account and sign-up information. We collect information about you in the course of your use of the site(s) or registration with us. For example, when you create or update an account, register for or download an app, or sign up for one of our offerings, you provide us with certain information, which includes your name and email address, and may include your photo or social-media profile. We may also receive information about your interest in and use of various products, services, programs, virtual items, content and activities (which we refer to below as “products” for short) that are available on or through our sites. You may also provide or be allocated certain details, such as a nickname, user name, password and/or other profile information.
Product purchase. If you make a purchase on one of our sites, our payment providers or the entity handling the sale will also collect certain billing and transaction information (e.g. payment method, billing information and delivery address).
Information about others / inviting friends. In certain situations, we collect information submitted by people you know. For example, a friend might submit information to invite you to take part in an offering, send you a gift, make recommendations or share content. They also may provide your details through an “invite your friends” function or by importing contacts from their address book or from social media sites. By processing those requests, we will receive your information, including details such as your name, email address, social-media profile, postal address and/or telephone number, and/or information about your interests in and use of various products.
Social media. You can engage with some of our content and offerings, such as videos, apps and other offerings on or through third-party communities, forums and other social media sites, services, plug-ins and apps (“social media sites”). When you link to our sites or interact with us or our content through social media sites, you may choose for us to receive certain information from your social media account (e.g. name, user ID, email address, social-media profile, photos and videos, gender, birthday, your list of friends and their contact details, people you follow and/or who follow you, the posts or the “likes” you make). We may also receive information from your interaction with our content (e.g. content viewed and information about advertisements you have been shown or have clicked on).
Location information. We may have access to certain information about your general location, such as your country or address, when you provide it or via information (such as an IP address or device settings) relating to your computer, mobile phone or other device. With consent (where required by law), we may also collect information about your device’s precise location (e.g. geolocation via mobile devices).
Technical and usage information. We also collect certain technical and usage information such as the type of device, browser and operating system you are using, your internet service provider or mobile carrier, unique device identifier, IDFA or IDFV, MAC address, IP address, device and browser settings, the webpages and apps you use, advertisements you see and interact with, and certain site usage information across our sites and other sites and apps. Please see our Cookies and other technologies section below for more information on how we may use those technologies to collect that information.
Customer enquiries. Where you contact us through one of our customer help desks or customer call centers or where you get in touch with us by email or using an online form, we will ask you for some information, including why you are getting in touch. We may have access to any relevant product that you have purchased, your purchase history, your previous correspondence with us and/or your contact details.

We may combine information that we collect from this website with data collected from our mobile apps and other services. Non-personal information. In addition, we may collect certain information that is not personal information, such as anonymous analytics data. If you fail to provide information. Where we need to collect personal information by law, or under the terms of a contract that we have with you, and you fail to provide that information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract that we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to provide you with products).

To do this, or to find out more about this (i) log into an account you have created with us to adjust your settings or (ii) send us an email at privacy@thelastcomposition.com. To opt out of receiving direct marketing communications via email, you can also follow the “unsubscribe” instructions provided in any marketing email you receive from us. If you previously chose to receive alerts in the form of push notifications on your mobile device from us, but no longer wish to receive them, you can manage your preferences through your device settings, depending on the type of device.

Cookies and other technologies

How we use cookies and other technologies. We use cookies, web beacons and/or similar technologies to understand and enhance your online experience at our sites and through our advertising and media across the internet, including social media sites and mobile apps as further described below. Our affiliates, as well as our and their advertising partners and other third-party service providers, also use such technologies for this purpose.

Cookies are small text files placed in your browser. Web beacons are small strings of code that provide a method for delivering a graphic image on a webpage for the purpose of transferring data, such as the IP address of the device that downloaded the page on which the web beacon appears, the URL of the page on which the web beacon appears, the time the page containing the web beacon was viewed, the type of browser that fetched the web beacon, and the identification number of any cookie on the device previously placed by that server.

We use cookies and similar technologies to help recognise your browser or device, maintain your preferences, provide certain site features, synchronise users across devices, collect information about your online interactions with our sites, our content and our communications and protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other unlawful activity.

Types of cookies and other technologies. We use the following types of cookies and similar technologies via our sites for the following purposes:

Necessary: enabling core site functionality.
Strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies are essential in order to enable you to access our sites or apps and use our features. Without them, services like enabling appropriate content based on your type of device cannot or may not be provided.
Analytics: allowing us to analyse site usage.
Analytics cookies or similar technologies collect information about how you use our sites or apps, so that we can analyse traffic and understand users’ interactions to perform analytics, including to analyse, measure and report on usage and performance of our sites and marketing materials. For this purpose, we may use third-party service providers such as Google Analytics, who may use their own cookies or similar technologies. The information is used to improve our sites or products.
Functional: allowing us to personalise your experience and provide enhanced functionality of our sites.
Functional cookies or similar technologies allow our sites or apps to remember choices you make (such as your user name, or the region you are in) and to provide enhanced, more personal features and content, and a better user experience. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of webpages that you can customise.
Targeted Advertising: enabling advertising partners to serve interest-based advertisements.
Advertising cookies or similar technologies allow us and our affiliates and our and their advertising partners to target, offer, market or advertise products. These cookies and other technologies also facilitate, manage and measure the performance of advertisements displayed on or delivered by or through our sites. These advertising partners may also have the capability to track your browsing across sites, apps and social media sites. See the Advertising choices section above for more information.
Social media: used when you share content with, or link to or from, social media sites.
Social media cookies or similar technologies are used when you share content using a social media sharing button or “like” button on our sites or apps, or when you link your account or engage with our content on or through a social media site such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. The social network will record that you have done that. The information may be linked to targeting/advertising activities.

Managing cookies and other technologies. If you are in the UK or EEA, you can use the cookie consent platform on our site to give or withdraw consent to our use of cookies. In other countries, you may be able to manage your consents for cookies and tracking technologies on our websites through settings.

On a mobile app, go to “Privacy settings” or your device settings. You can adjust your browser to reject cookies from us or from any other site operator. Controlling cookies via browser controls may not limit our use of other technologies. Please consult your browser’s settings for more information. Blocking cookies or similar technology might, however, prevent you from accessing some of our content or site features. You can also check your browser settings to learn how to delete cookies.

Adobe’s Flash player and similar applications use Local Shared Object (“LSO”) technology to remember settings, preferences and usage similar to browser cookies. Flash cookies are not managed through your web browser, but you can access your Flash management tools from Adobe’s website. Your browser may also offer other tools to delete or reject other LSOs; check your browser’s settings or help menu for more information.

We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created. Please see the Your marketing and advertising choices section above to learn about other ways to control data collection for advertising purposes.

Data retention and security

In broad terms, we will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. This means that the retention periods will vary according to the type of personal information and the reason that we have the personal information in the first place. For example, some personal information related to the provision of services to you or by you will be kept for a number of years in order to comply with various finance and tax-related legal obligations. Other service-related personal information may be kept for a different period because it is in our legitimate interests to do so in order to provide or receive an appropriate follow-up service.

After a retention period has elapsed, the personal information is securely deleted. We may, however, retain copies of your information in anonymised form, which we may use or disclose at our discretion, such as to help us improve our sites and products.

We have put in place reasonable controls (including physical, technological and administrative measures) designed to help safeguard the personal information that we collect via the sites. No security measures are perfect, however, and so we cannot assure you that personal information that we collect will never be accessed or used in an unauthorised way, which may happen due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We have put in place procedures to deal with a suspected personal data breach, and we shall notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Your personal data rights

Your legal rights. Under certain circumstances, you may have the following rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal information (which may be limited to personal data):

right of access to your personal information;
right to rectification of your personal information;
right to erasure of your personal information;
right to restriction of processing of your personal information;
right to portability of your personal information;
right to object to processing of your personal information;
right not to be subject to significant automated decision-making (including when based on profiling); and/or
right to withdraw consent to processing of your personal information.

Some of those rights may only apply to you if you are resident in the EEA or a country with similar data protection laws. To find out more about those specific rights, see the last paragraph of this section and your local data protection authority’s website, such as the ICO’s website (www.ico.org.uk), if you are located in the UK, or the Irish Data Protection Commission’s website (www.dataprotection.ie), if you are located in Ireland.

Additionally, California law grants California residents the right to, among other things, access, delete, and opt out of the sale of certain personal information. For more information, see the section on CALIFORNIA AND OTHER US STATES RIGHTS below.

Exercising your rights. If you wish to exercise any of those rights, please email privacy@thelastcomposition.com with your request.

Your legal rights in more detail (for UK and other EEA residents). In certain circumstances, you have the following legal rights in relation to your personal information (to the extent consisting of “personal data” in the EEA and countries with similar data protection laws, and so we use that term in the rest of this section). We may ask you for additional information, so that we take reasonable steps to check that – for example – we only provide personal data to the person to whom the data relate.

Right of access to your personal data (also known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing such data.
Right of rectification of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, although we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data that you provide to us.
Right to erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data in certain circumstances. Please note, however, that we may retain your data in certain circumstances in accordance with law, which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Right to restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you would like us to establish the accuracy of such data; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Right to portability of your personal data to you or to a third party. If you so request, we shall provide you, or a third party that you have chosen, with a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Please note that this right only applies to automated information that you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform our contract with you.
Right to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground, in which case we will consider whether we have compelling reasons to continue to process your data.
Right to object to direct marketing. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for purposes of direct marketing. Please see the section above Your marketing and advertising choices for how to exercise the right.
Right to withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products, content or services to you.
Right to complain in the UK or elsewhere in the EEA. If you would like to complain, contact us using the details below. This does not override your right to complain to the relevant supervisory authority at any time.

From time to time, we may make changes to this policy. We will notify you about material changes by placing a notice on our sites. We encourage you to check back and review this policy periodically so that you always know our current privacy practices.
