Privacy Policy.

This policy explains how The Nerve Media Group collects and uses your personal data when you create an account on our website. We keep it short because what we collect is genuinely limited.

1. WHO WE ARE

The Nerve Media Group is a production music library based in the United Kingdom. Our website gives registered users access to our catalogue of music for use in production and broadcast.

For data protection purposes, The Nerve Media Group is the data controller. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at Hello@thenervemedia.com.

2. WHAT WE COLLECT

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a password (stored in encrypted form). We do not collect payment information, phone numbers, or any sensitive personal data.

We may also collect basic usage data (such as login timestamps) to maintain the security and integrity of your account.

3. WHY WE COLLECT IT AND OUR LEGAL BASIS

We collect your email address and password to provide you with access to the site. Our legal basis for this processing is contract -- it is necessary to fulfil the service you have requested when creating an account.

If we send you any service communications (such as password reset emails), this is also on the basis of contract necessity.

4. HOW LONG WE KEEP IT

We retain your account data for as long as your account remains active. If you request deletion of your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law.

5. WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share data with our hosting and infrastructure providers solely to operate the site, and only under data processing agreements that bind them to equivalent standards.

6. COOKIES

Our site uses strictly necessary cookies to manage your login session. These do not require your consent. If we introduce any additional cookies (such as analytics), we will update this policy and seek your consent at that time.

7. YOUR RIGHTS

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: Ask us to delete your personal data.
• Restriction: Ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Portability: Request your data in a portable format.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at Hello@thenervemedia.com. We will respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.

8. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We will update this policy if our data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. For significant changes, we will notify registered users by email.
