Liability for content

The content of this website has been prepared with care. However, no guarantee is given as to its accuracy, completeness or continued availability. As a service provider, the operator is responsible for his own content on these pages under general law (§§ 6 to 7 ECG). He is not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, or to investigate circumstances indicating unlawful activity.

This website contains links to external websites operated by third parties (including Spotify, YouTube and Instagram). The operator has no influence over their content and accepts no responsibility for it. Responsibility for the content of linked pages lies solely with their respective operators or providers. At the time of linking, no unlawful content was apparent.

Privacy policy (GDPR)

Controller

The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679, GDPR) and the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) is the person named above under "Media owner". You may contact the controller at the postal address or email address given there.

What this website does not do

This website sets no cookies of its own. It uses no analytics, no tracking pixels, no advertising networks and no user profiling. There is no contact form, no newsletter and no user account. Web fonts are served from this website's own server; no data is transmitted to Google or any other font provider when a page is loaded.

Server log files

When you access this website, the hosting provider's web server automatically records technical data that your browser transmits. This may include your IP address, the date and time of access, the page requested, the referring page, and details of your browser and operating system. This processing is technically necessary in order to deliver the website and to maintain its stability and security. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website). These data are not merged with other data sources and are not used to identify individual visitors. Log data are deleted by the hosting provider after a short retention period.

Hosting provider: hosting provider name and address. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.

Embedded content from third parties

The Music page offers recordings hosted by Spotify, YouTube and Instagram. These players are not loaded automatically. Each is shown as a static preview, and the third-party player is only requested once you actively click it (a "two-click" solution).

By clicking a player you consent, under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, to a connection being established with the relevant provider. From that point on, the provider receives your IP address and may set cookies or read information already stored on your device, and may process these data for its own purposes — including outside the European Economic Area. This transfer is governed by the providers' own terms; the operator of this website has no influence over it and no access to the data collected. You may withdraw your consent at any time by not loading the players and, where applicable, by deleting the cookies set by these providers in your browser.

Contact by email

If you contact the operator by email, the details you provide — including your email address and the content of your message — are stored in order to process your enquiry and to deal with any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries). These data are not passed on without your consent and are deleted once they are no longer required, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed and to access those data (Art. 15), to rectification (Art. 16), to erasure (Art. 17), to restriction of processing (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3)).
