In this article, we'll guide you through managing your Contentpass subscription and understanding how your personal data is processed under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Managing or Cancelling Your Contentpass Subscription

To manage or cancel your Contentpass subscription, follow these steps:

1. Review Subscription Terms: Check the terms and conditions or your user account settings on the website or platform where you activated Contentpass. Piano typically offers user dashboards or account portals where you can manage subscriptions.
2. Account Settings: Log into your Contentpass or Piano-related account (often through the publisher website or content platform using Contentpass). Look for options like “Manage Subscription,” “Billing,” or “Cancel Subscription.”
3. Contact Support: If the website does not provide a clear way to cancel, contact the customer support team of the publisher or Piano directly. They can guide you through cancellation or manage it on your behalf.
4. Refunds and Billing: Check the specific subscription and refund policies outlined in the Piano or Contentpass terms to understand billing cycles and refund eligibility.

2. Understanding Data Processing under GDPR

• Data Controller: Normally, the publisher you subscribe to is the data controller for your personal data collected during the subscription process. Piano acts as a data processor or sometimes joint controller depending on their service model.
• Personal Data Processed: This often includes your name, email address, payment information, device data, browsing behavior, and preferences related to the content access.
• Purpose of Processing: Data is processed to provide subscription services, manage payments, authenticate your access, personalize content, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Transfers of Personal Data to Third Countries

• What is a Third Country? A “third country” is any country outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
• Is Your Data Transferred? Piano, as a global service provider, may transfer personal data outside the EEA (for example, to the U.S. or other jurisdictions where they have data centers or service providers).
• Legal Basis for Transfers: Under GDPR, such transfers require appropriate safeguards, such as:
• Standard contractual clauses (SCCs) approved by the EU Commission,
• Adequacy decisions (if the third country has adequate data protection recognized by the EU),
• Or specific derogations if applicable (though rare for subscription services).
• Transparency: The privacy policy provided by the publisher and/or Piano should include information on international data transfers and the safeguards used.

4. Where to Find More Detailed Information

• Piano Privacy Policy: Check Piano’s official privacy policy on their website. It typically details:
• What personal data is collected,
• How it is processed,
• Data retention periods,
• Data subject rights,
• Information on international data transfers.
• Publisher’s Privacy Policy: Because the subscription is mediated through a content publisher, review their privacy policy as well for specific details about the use of Contentpass and Piano services.
• Your GDPR Rights: Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
• Access your personal data,
• Rectify inaccuracies,
• Request erasure (right to be forgotten),
• Restrict or object to processing,
• Data portability,
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Summary

• To cancel or manage your subscription, use the publisher or Piano account portal or contact their support.
• Your data is processed lawfully under GDPR to provide and improve subscription services.
• Personal data may be transferred outside the EEA with required legal safeguards.
• For full details, consult the privacy policies of the publisher and Piano.
• You can exercise your GDPR rights by contacting data controllers or the Piano data protection officer.
