3.1. Processing of data in the case of event management activities

3.1.1. Artists

The extent of the data processed: artists wishing to perform at certain festivals usually contact us themselves, either by sending us an audio file or by providing a link to the audio file. We process the names of artists (or band members) who contact us, occasionally their manager, contact email address, telephone number, introductory material, images and audio recordings.

A document called Deal Sheet will be sent to the artists we wish to contract to perform at our event. The Deal Sheet will contain the following personal data: name of the artist, name of the company (address of registered office, tax number, company registration number) that represents the artist in the contracting process; name, e-mail address, telephone number of the person authorised to represent the artist; name, e-mail address, telephone number of the tour manager; names of other artists who will be performing in the show, and any food sensitivities of the artists (if catering is required). At the same time with the Deal Sheet, the artist will send, if necessary, additional information required for booking accommodation and purchasing flight tickets: name, address, date and place of birth, mother’s name, and passport number.

We record the artists’ performances at the events we organise, in the form of visual and/or audio material.

In all cases, we receive promotional materials and photos from the artists. These materials shall always include the name of the photographer who took the photos and the name of the editor who otherwise contributed to the production of the material, which will also be handled the same way as explained above.

The purpose of processing: for artists with whom we do not have a contract, do not perform at our events but request us to process their data, we store the material they provide as part of their application, in order to include them in our selection process for a future event, in the hopes that we will be able to contract them and keep in touch with them based on the contact details we have available.

For the artists to whom we send a Deal Sheet, the purpose of processing is to conclude the contract, the performance at the event, the adequacy of the catering service related to the performance (prevention of allergic reactions), flight tickets and accommodation reservations, contacting, coordination of organisational issues.
