On this page, you can read about how Koda processes data concerning personal rightholders that are not members of Koda.
Even though you are not a member of Koda, Koda will be collecting and controlling data on you as a rightholder as a composer and/or songwriter, for one of the following reasons:
1) If you are member of another Collective Management Organization (Society) with whom Koda has a Reciprocal Representation Agreement, Koda does so based on the mandate given by you to your society which your society in turn has given to Koda for our territories of operation (Denmark, Greenland, the Faroe Islands)[1]. Below, this reason is referred to as “RRA-cases”.
2) Even if you are not a member of any such Society, Koda might represent your rights due to the rules of Extended Collective License, which applies in areas such as Public Service Broadcasting and TV-retransmission and -distribution.[2] Read more about Extended Collective License in the Danish Act on Copyright, Section 50 here. Below, this reason is referred to as “ECL-cases”.
3) Outside these areas, it can still be of importance to process data on your works, in order to manage the other rights we represent.[3]
You have a right to access the data Koda processes concerning you, to request for rectification of inaccurate data, to request for erasure of data, to request restriction of processing, and to data portability, which implies that Koda on your request will deliver a file with the data we have registered about you. However, Koda’s legal obligations for documentation and archiving of our activities and Koda’s legitimate interest of delivering the most efficient management of the rights of other rightholders might result in an actual limitation of your right to erasure of data and of your right to restriction of processing of data.
You can file a complaint over Koda’s processing of your data to the Danish Data Protection Agency.
