2. Hosting, access data and visitor statistics
The website is hosted through OpenAI's ChatGPT Sites; Cloudflare is used for technical delivery. Loading the website requires processing data such as your IP address, requested file, time of access and technical information sent by your browser. This enables content delivery, troubleshooting and protection against abusive access. Our legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is a reliably accessible and secure band website.
Sites automatically provides statistics on page views and visitor numbers. We do not add our own advertising trackers. The platform processes technical usage data under its own privacy information. Details of the scope of processing, retention and your rights are available from each provider:
- OpenAI Ireland Limited, 1st Floor, The Liffey Trust Centre, 117–126 Sheriff Street Upper, Dublin 1, D01 YC43, Ireland: OpenAI privacy information.
- Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA: Cloudflare privacy information.
These services may process data outside the European Economic Area, particularly in the USA. The linked information explains the providers' transfer mechanisms and safeguards, such as adequacy decisions and standard contractual clauses. OpenAI lists criteria for retention periods including the purpose of processing, the type of data, security requirements and legal obligations; it does not specify a single fixed period for technical Sites access data there. We do not maintain an additional access database of our own.
3. Contact and event enquiries
The enquiry form initially processes your name, event type, preferred date, location and message in your browser. “Open email draft” passes these details to your email app. The website sends nothing automatically and does not store enquiries in a website database. You send the message to us only when you send it from your email app.
When you contact us by email or phone, we use your contact details and the information you provide to handle and answer your enquiry. For bookings or steps before entering into a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; for other enquiries it is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our interest in enabling the requested communication. You decide what information to provide. Without sufficient contact and event details, we may be unable to handle your enquiry.
We use Gmail and GMX to receive and answer emails. The email services involved also process communication and technical data. Further information: Google/Gmail and GMX (1&1 Mail & Media GmbH).
We retain enquiry data for as long as needed to handle the enquiry, provide agreed services or resolve related claims. It is then deleted unless legal retention obligations or other legally permitted reasons for retention apply.
4. YouTube – only with your consent
Our live video is embedded only when you select “Load video & consent”. Before that, the website loads neither the YouTube player nor YouTube preview images. After loading, Google/YouTube receives technical data such as your IP address and browser information and may use cookies or similar storage technologies. Data may be processed in the USA and linked to your Google account if you are signed in. Google Ireland Limited is the provider for users in the EEA.
The player uses privacy-enhanced mode through youtube-nocookie.com. This does not prevent all data processing. Loading is optional and based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where information is stored on or read from your device, section 25(1) of Germany's TDDDG. “Close video” removes the player and ends the embedding. Loading it again requires another click. Withdrawal does not affect processing that has already occurred; stored Google data may be deleted through your browser's website-data settings or your Google account.
Further information, particularly on purposes, transfers and retention periods: Google privacy policy.
5. Fonts, images, QR codes and external links
Fonts come from your device; images and QR-code images are served together with our website. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and other external services are included as ordinary links. Merely displaying these links or QR images does not connect you to the relevant social network. If you open a link or follow a QR code on your device, the destination service's privacy information applies.
6. Cookies and settings
Our own page code sets no cookies and stores no persistent visitor profiles. Settings in the separate desktop/smartphone comparison remain only in memory while the page is open. Technical mechanisms used by the hosting provider are covered by its privacy information linked above; the optional YouTube player is covered in section 4. Browser features such as form autofill are controlled by your own browser settings.
7. Your rights
Subject to the legal conditions, you have rights of access (Article 15 GDPR), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18) and data portability (Article 20). You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Article 7(3)).
Right to object: Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation under Article 21 GDPR. To exercise your rights towards WE4Musik, use the contact details above. For processing carried out by a platform provider under its own responsibility, you may also contact that provider directly.
Under Article 77 GDPR, you may complain to a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg.
8. Automated decisions and updates
We do not use your enquiry data for automated decision-making, including profiling. We update this information if the website's functions or services change.
