We generally use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: to enable core website functionality.

Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you non-promotional messages, for example about important service updates or responses to your requests.

6. Links to Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or embedded services, such as streaming platforms, ticketing services, or social media networks. These third parties have their own privacy policies and we are not responsible for their content, practices, or how they handle personal information.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site or service before providing them with your personal information.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, tax, accounting, or legal requirements).

When we no longer need to use your personal information, we will delete it or anonymize it so that it can no longer be used to identify you.

8. International Data Transfers

Sounds of Morocco may operate or use service providers located in countries other than your own. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that any international transfers of personal information provide an adequate level of protection, such as using contractual protections or other safeguards.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we hold from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping any account credentials confidential and for notifying us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
