2. Hosting

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

Cloudflare Pages

The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (represented in the EU by Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, 80331 Munich, Germany). When you visit our website, Cloudflare processes connection data for technical reasons, in particular your IP address, date and time of access, the requested page, browser and operating system information and the referrer URL (server log files). Cloudflare operates a globally distributed network, so your request may be served from servers outside the European Union. For details, see Cloudflare’s privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

Cloudflare is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably and securely as possible.

Where data is transferred to the USA, the transfer relies on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF), under which Cloudflare is certified, and additionally on standard contractual clauses. Information on the DPF: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (Data Processing Addendum, https://www.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-customer-dpa/) with Cloudflare. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that Cloudflare processes the personal data of our website visitors only on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General information and mandatory disclosures

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (for example when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information about the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Philipp Prinz, Buchholzen 167a, 42929 Wermelskirchen, Germany

Phone: +49 2196 8852990

Email: info@philippprinzmusic.com

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (for example names, email addresses).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (for example retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place once these reasons no longer apply.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device, processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required to perform a contract or to take pre-contractual steps, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legal bases that apply in each case are set out in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires personal data to be passed on to them. We only pass on personal data if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (for example passing data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in doing so, or if another legal basis permits it. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis is set out in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged violation. This right is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and any other questions on personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address bar of your browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is active, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending advertising and information material that was not expressly requested. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

This website itself does not set cookies and does not store information on your device. No analytics, tracking or advertising services are used. Should the hosting provider set technically necessary cookies for security reasons (for example to defend against attacks), this is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 25(2) TDDDG.

Server log files

The provider of the site automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of the website, which requires the server log files to be recorded.

Enquiries by email

If you contact us by email, your enquiry including all resulting personal data (name, email address, content of the enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for taking pre-contractual steps. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this was requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us by email remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example after your request has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
