3. Hosting and server logs

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany.

When you visit the site, the server automatically logs your IP address, date and time, the page requested, the referring page, your browser and your operating system. We use this data only to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Logs are deleted after 7 days unless needed to investigate a security incident. We have a data processing agreement with the host.

4. Contact form and email

If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. The form sends this data to us by email and does not store it on the website. If you email us directly, we receive your email address, your message and any other details you include. We use this data only to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for licensing, release or project enquiries, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the correspondence once it is no longer needed, unless statutory retention periods apply.

5. Links to streaming services and other websites

Release pages link to streaming and download services and to the websites of our artists. These are plain links: no data is sent to these sites until you click one. After that, the privacy policy of the respective site applies.
