SOL Sound of Life Media LLC - Privacy and Data Protection Commitment

At SOL Sound of Life Media LLC (SOL), safeguarding user privacy and data protection is a top priority. We are committed to handling requests from public authorities for user data with the highest levels of transparency, legal compliance, and dedication to protecting user rights, in accordance with privacy laws such as the GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable legislation.

Policies in Place

1. Transparent Process:
   SOL has established clear procedures for handling requests from public authorities for user data. These procedures are designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and strict adherence to all applicable legal requirements.

2. Legal Compliance:
   We comply with all laws and regulations governing data privacy and protection, including the GDPR, CCPA, and U.S. federal and state laws. Our actions are guided by principles of legality, necessity, proportionality, and user rights protection. We respond to valid legal requests only after ensuring that they meet the required legal standards.

Processes for Handling Requests

1. Assessment of Requests:
   Every request from public authorities for user data is carefully assessed and evaluated. SOL reviews each request to confirm its validity, legality, and relevance, ensuring it is made in accordance with local, national, and international laws.

2. Legal Review:
   All requests are subject to thorough legal review by our in-house legal experts or external counsel. This ensures that the requests comply with relevant laws and regulations, such as U.S. law, European data protection regulations, and any other applicable frameworks, before any data is disclosed.

3. Data Minimization:
   SOL adheres to a strict data minimization policy. We provide only the specific user data that is essential and relevant to the request made by public authorities. Excessive or unnecessary data is never disclosed.

4. User Notification:
   Where legally permissible, SOL will notify affected users about requests from public authorities for their data. We aim to provide this notification before or after the data is released, unless prohibited by law, court order, or exceptional circumstances that prevent such disclosure (e.g., gag orders or immediate legal restrictions).

5. Transparency Reports:
   SOL publishes periodic transparency reports outlining the number and types of requests received from public authorities. These reports are designed to maintain user trust and disclose the nature of the requests, while respecting legal restrictions on disclosure. We balance the need for transparency with our obligations under applicable law.

User Rights Protection

SOL is deeply committed to protecting the rights of our users, including their right to privacy. We strive to:

• Balance legal obligations with user privacy rights: SOL takes every possible step to minimize the impact on user privacy when responding to legal requests, ensuring user rights are prioritized.
• Uphold transparency: We maintain open communication with our users regarding the potential for their data to be shared with public authorities, as required by law, and we take care to limit any unnecessary disclosures.
• Advocate for user privacy: In jurisdictions where it is permitted, we challenge overly broad or inappropriate requests for user data, working to safeguard privacy rights.

Applicable Laws and Frameworks

SOL’s data privacy practices are governed by the following legal frameworks:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European users
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for users in California
• U.S. federal laws, including but not limited to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and the Stored Communications Act (SCA)
• Other applicable international, national, and state regulations
