3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur (Germany). Whenever you visit this website, the server automatically collects so-called log files transmitted by your browser, including your IP address, date and time of the request, the page/file requested, your browser and operating system, and the referring URL. This data is used solely to ensure stable, secure operation of the website and is not combined with other data sources. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a technically error-free and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). See also IONOS's own privacy policy.

4. Contacting us by email

If you contact us by email, the data you provide (your email address and, where applicable, your name and the content of your message) is stored in order to process your request. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (handling your request) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). We do not share this data without your consent and delete it once your request has been fully processed, unless we are legally required to retain it.

5. Embedded YouTube videos

Our homepage embeds videos from YouTube, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Videos are not loaded automatically when the page loads: you first see a placeholder with no connection to YouTube/Google at all. Only once you actively click "Load video" is the video loaded in privacy-enhanced mode ("youtube-nocookie.com") and a connection to Google's servers established. Google may then receive your IP address and device information and, if you are logged into a Google/YouTube account, may associate this with your account. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), given by clicking; your choice is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) so you don't need to consent again on every visit. You can clear this locally stored choice at any time via your browser's privacy/history settings. See Google's privacy policy for details.

6. Links to music and streaming platforms

In several places (especially on the release pages under "releases/") we link to our music on external platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud and YouTube. These are plain links, not embeds - only when you actively click such a link do you leave our site and go to the respective provider. Simply visiting our site does not transmit any data to these providers. Each provider's own privacy policy governs how they handle your data:

  • Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, 111 53 Stockholm, Sweden - Privacy Policy
  • Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland - Privacy Policy
  • Amazon EU S.à r.l., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg - see privacy notice on amazon.de
  • SoundCloud Global Limited & Co. KG, Rheinsberger Str. 76/77, 10115 Berlin, Germany - Privacy Policy
  • Google Ireland Limited (YouTube), see item 5 above

7. No automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
