This Privacy Policy explains which personal data may be processed when visitors use this website.

2. Hosting and server log data

This website is hosted and delivered via Cloudflare. When the website is accessed, technically necessary connection data may be processed. This may include the IP address, date and time of access, requested file, referrer URL, browser type, operating system and status codes.

The processing is carried out to provide the website securely, reliably and efficiently. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in technical delivery, security and abuse prevention.

The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare may also process data outside the European Union. Cloudflare provides information about privacy, data processing agreements and subprocessors on its own website.

3. Contact by email

If contact is made by email, the transmitted data is processed in order to answer the request. This includes in particular the email address, message content and technical email metadata.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request relates to a contract or pre-contractual steps. In all other cases, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in handling incoming inquiries.

4. Spotify embed

This website embeds a Spotify player and Spotify content. When the embedded player is loaded or used, data may be transferred to Spotify. This can also apply if the visitor does not have a Spotify account or is not logged in to Spotify.

The provider is Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden. Further information can be found in Spotify's privacy information and terms of use.

5. External links to social media and streaming platforms

This website contains external links to Spotify, SoundCloud, Instagram and TikTok. Merely visiting this website does not transfer data to those linked providers through the links themselves. Once a visitor clicks an external link, the visitor leaves this website and the privacy rules of the respective provider apply.

6. Cookies and tracking

This website does not set its own analytics or marketing cookies. If embedded third-party content, especially Spotify, uses its own technologies, this falls within the responsibility of the respective third-party provider.

7. Storage period

Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the relevant purposes or as required by statutory retention obligations. Server and security data is processed by the hosting provider according to its technical and legal requirements.

8. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects have the following rights in accordance with applicable law:

  • access to personal data being processed,
  • rectification of inaccurate data,
  • erasure or restriction of processing,
  • data portability,
  • objection to processing based on legitimate interests,
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

9. Requirement to provide data

Providing personal data is generally not legally required. However, certain connection data is technically necessary to access and deliver the website. Without this data, the website cannot be delivered.

10. Automated decision-making

The operator of this website does not use automated decision-making, including profiling.
