III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data is carried out regularly only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

  1. Information about the browser type and version used
  2. The user's operating system
  3. The user's Internet service provider
  4. The user's IP address
  5. Date and time of access
  6. Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
  7. Websites accessed by the user's system via our website

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that can be used to identify a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data. The data is also stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after 90 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.

5. Right to object and right to erasure

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no right to object on the part of the user.

VI. Third parties

SoundCloud

Our website may contain content (audio players) from the SoundCloud service. The provider is SoundCloud Global Limited & Co. KG, Rheinsberger Str. 76/77, 10115 Berlin, Germany.

Type and purpose of processing When you visit the relevant page, connections to the SoundCloud servers are established through the integration of the SoundCloud player. Data (such as your IP address, information about your browser and operating system, and the page from which you accessed the player) is transmitted to SoundCloud and processed there. If you are logged into your SoundCloud account at the same time, SoundCloud can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. This serves the purpose of making audio content available to you directly on our website and designing our online offering in an appealing way.

Legal basis Your data is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect (e.g., via our cookie settings).

Data transfer to third countries Please note that SoundCloud may also transfer data to servers of its parent company, SoundCloud Inc., in the USA. The US is currently considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and surveillance purposes without you having effective legal remedies. By consenting to the use of the SoundCloud player, you also consent to this transfer in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Storage period and further information Further details on the handling of user data can be found in SoundCloud's privacy policy at: https://soundcloud.com/pages/privacy.
