At ArtistAssistApp ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services, in accordance with applicable laws including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

In the event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and relevant supervisory authorities within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, or within the maximum timeframe permitted by applicable law, whichever is longer. This notification will include details about the nature of the breach, likely consequences, and measures taken to address the breach.
10. Cross-Border Data Storage and Transfers
As ArtistAssistApp operates globally, please be aware that your personal data may be transferred and stored in locations outside your country of residence.
