PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 11 September 2026

1. Purpose of this policy

This policy explains how your personal data is processed when you visit the SLOW BASS® DIVISION website at www.slowbass-dvision.com.

This website presents our creative world: Issues, videos, creations, news and projects. It is hosted on Squarespace.

Product purchases and newsletter sign-up take place on our Shopify store at www.slowbass-design.com. Some links may also take you to Amazon, particularly for our publications.

2. Data controller

The controller responsible for the processing described in this policy is:

Steven von Oakwood — SLOW BASS® DIVISION
Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

Email: info@slowbass-design.com
Belgian enterprise number: 0806.525.108
VAT number: BE 0806.525.108

You can use this email address to ask questions about your personal data or exercise your rights.

3. Data processed and purposes

Website operation and security

Displaying and securing the website requires the processing of certain technical data, including your IP address, information about your browser and device, and information about requests sent to the website.

This processing allows us to provide the pages you request, diagnose problems and prevent misuse. It is based on our legitimate interest in providing a functional and secure website.

Squarespace provides hosting and technical services. For more information, please see the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

Analytics

We use Squarespace’s analytics features and Google Analytics to understand website traffic and improve our content.

Depending on the tools and your choices, the data may include pages viewed, interactions, where your visit came from, device characteristics and online identifiers.

Analytics that relies on non-essential cookies or tracking technologies is subject to your consent.

Advertising measurement with Meta

The website uses the Meta Pixel to measure interactions related to our advertising campaigns and, when these features are used, build audiences or display relevant advertising.

The information transmitted may include pages visited, actions taken, cookie identifiers and technical connection data. Meta may combine it with information it already holds, particularly if you have a Facebook or Instagram account.

This advertising processing is based on your consent. You can refuse it without losing access to the website’s ordinary content.

For collection and transmission activities covered by the Meta Business Tools Terms, we may act as joint controllers with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. Meta remains responsible for any subsequent processing it carries out for its own purposes.

Further information is available in Meta’s Privacy Policy and its Controller Addendum.

Correspondence with us

This website does not have its own contact form. You can contact us by email or use the contact form on our Shopify store.

When you write to us, we process your email address, your name if you provide it, and the content of your message so that we can respond and follow up on your request.

Depending on the nature of your request, this processing is based on our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, or the performance of a contract.

4. YouTube videos and Instagram content

Some pages feature YouTube videos. They may also include embedded Instagram content.

Loading this content may disclose your IP address, information about your browser, the page viewed and your interactions with the content to the relevant provider. The provider may also use cookies or associate this information with your account if you are signed in to its services.

Content that requires consent is loaded according to your choice. Refusing consent may prevent a player or embedded item from appearing, but does not prevent you from viewing the rest of the website.

For information about these providers’ processing, please see:

• Google’s Privacy Policy, which applies to YouTube;

• Meta’s Privacy Policy, which applies to Instagram.

Links that open YouTube or Instagram directly take you to those services, where their own privacy rules apply.

5. Newsletter, store and external links

SLOW BASS® DIVISION newsletter

The sign-up button on this website takes you to a form hosted on our Shopify store.

Signing up is voluntary. It allows you to receive news and offers from SLOW BASS® DIVISION, including updates about our Issues, videos, creations, projects and products.

Simply visiting this website or clicking the sign-up link does not subscribe you to the newsletter.

Processing related to your subscription is based on your consent. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in the emails.

Further details about how subscriptions are managed are available in our Shopify store’s Privacy Policy, accessible from its footer.

Purchases

No payments are collected directly through this Squarespace website.

When you visit our Shopify store or an Amazon page, the processing associated with using those services and making a purchase is described in their respective privacy policies.

6. Cookies and privacy choices

The website uses cookies necessary for its operation and, depending on your consent, cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising and embedded content.

The cookie banner allows you to accept or refuse non-essential cookies, or customise your choices.

You can change your decision using the “Cookie Preferences” button.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it was withdrawn.

Further information is available in our Cookie Policy, accessible from the footer.

7. Recipients of data

To the extent necessary for the purposes described above, your data may be accessible to:

• the person responsible for SLOW BASS® DIVISION and people authorised to assist them;

• Squarespace and its technical service providers;

• Google for Google Analytics and YouTube, depending on the services used and your choices;

• Meta for the Meta Pixel and any Instagram content, depending on your choices;

• our email service providers when you contact us;

• competent authorities or advisers when required by law or necessary to defend our rights.

When you use our store, Shopify is involved as described in the store’s Privacy Policy.

Some providers also process data for their own purposes in accordance with their privacy policies.

8. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

The services used may involve the processing of data outside the European Economic Area, particularly in the United States.

Depending on the provider and the transfer concerned, the transfer may be covered by a European Commission adequacy decision or by appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, together with supplementary measures where necessary.

The providers’ policies mentioned above describe their transfer mechanisms. You can also contact us for information about the safeguards applicable to processing for which we are responsible.

9. Retention periods

Data is kept for as long as necessary for its purpose, taking into account the settings of the services used and applicable obligations.

• Technical and security data: for the period needed to operate the service, diagnose problems and handle any incidents.

• Analytics and advertising data: according to the retention periods configured in the relevant tools. The lifespan of a cookie differs from the retention period for data sent to a provider; our Cookie Policy explains the relevant information.

• Correspondence: while your request is being handled, then for up to two years after it is closed, unless a longer period is needed to meet a legal obligation or defend a right.

• Newsletter subscriptions and order data: according to the periods specified in our Shopify store’s Privacy Policy.

• Records of consent or refusal: for as long as needed to respect your choices and demonstrate our practices.

Where further retention is necessary to meet a legal obligation or in connection with a dispute, the relevant data is restricted to that purpose.

10. Your rights

Under the conditions set out in the GDPR, you may request access to your data, its rectification or erasure, restriction of processing, or data portability.

You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests for reasons relating to your particular situation. You may also object at any time to the use of your data for direct marketing.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise your rights, write to info@slowbass-design.com. If we have reasonable doubts about your identity, we may request only the information necessary to verify it.

We normally respond within one month. If the complexity or number of requests requires an extension permitted by the GDPR, we will inform you within that first month.

You may lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority or with the competent supervisory authority in the country where you live or work.

11. Updates

This policy may change as the website, the services used or regulations evolve.

The date of the latest update appears at the top of this page. We will bring any significant changes to your attention by an appropriate means.
