The data processing controller on this website is:

Nothin But Music GmbH
Possartstr. 9
81679 Munich
Germany

Email: sayhello@nothinbutmusic.com

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or if you revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to 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 are processed according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if required to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is required as part of the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of this data. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work, or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourse.

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 common, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients, as well as the purpose of the processing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was or is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data, with the exception of its archiving, may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements, or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities, or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol displayed in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Our website uses what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.

Cookies may be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites.

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential as certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies. Other cookies may be used to analyse user patterns or for promotional purposes.

Cookies that are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, or for the provision of certain functions you want to use, or those that are necessary for the optimisation of the website (legally required cookies), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of legally required cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, or activate the delete function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited. Which cookies and services are used by this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to obtain consent that is required by data protection law for the use of certain cookies. The legal basis for the use of such cookies and similar technologies is § 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.

To obtain consent for cookies that require consent, this website uses the consent management tool “Cookiebot.” For more information about Cookiebot, please visit: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/legal/.

The processing of data is carried out using Cookiebot. Cookiebot is a service offered by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (“Cybot”).

• Your consent declaration(s) or revocation of your consent declaration(s)
• Your IP address (anonymised)
• Information about your browser
• Information about your device
• The time you visited our website

n addition, Cookiebot stores a cookie in your browser to be able to associate the consent declaration(s) you submitted or their revocation with you.

Mandatory statutory retention periods shall remain unaffected.

The use of Cookiebot is mandatory by law to obtain the consent required by law for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Cybot for the use of the above-mentioned service. This guarantees that Cybot processes personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:

• The type and version of browser used
• The operating system used
• Referrer URL
• The hostname of the accessing computer
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free depiction and the optimisation of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

If you sign up for the Enigma newsletter, we use the email address you provide to send you information about releases, projects, and behind-the-scenes updates. Providing your email address is required in order to receive the newsletter.

We use the double opt-in procedure for registration. After you sign up, we send a confirmation message to the address you provided and add you to the distribution list only once you confirm via the link in that email. This allows us to verify that you are the owner of the address. We record your registration and confirmation, including the time and the IP address used, in order to be able to demonstrate that consent was given. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis for logging the registration is our legitimate interest in being able to evidence that consent under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We send our newsletter using Mailchimp, a service of The Rocket Science Group LLC, 405 N. Angier Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, an Intuit company. Mailchimp processes the data described above on our behalf as a processor under Art. 28 GDPR, on the basis of a data processing agreement. Mailchimp’s servers are located in the United States. The transfer of data to the USA is based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a Mailchimp is certified. In addition, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses are incorporated into Mailchimp’s data processing agreement as a further safeguard.

Mailchimp also enables us to measure how our newsletters are received. When you open a message, a connection to Mailchimp’s servers is established, which lets us see whether the newsletter was opened and which links were clicked. This helps us understand which content interests our subscribers. The legal basis for this analysis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time with effect for the future, for example via the unsubscribe link at the end of every newsletter. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal. Once you unsubscribe, we remove your email address from the newsletter distribution list, unless you have separately consented to other uses or we are legally required to retain the data.

Further information on how Mailchimp handles data is available in Mailchimp’s privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ and in its data processing addendum at https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/.

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour patterns of website visitors. To that end, the website operator receives a variety of user data, such as pages accessed, time spent on the page, the operating system used, and the user’s origin. This data is assigned to the respective end device of the user. An assignment to a user ID does not take place.

Furthermore, Google Analytics allows us to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics uses various modelling approaches to augment the collected data sets and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that make the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour patterns possible (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The website use information recorded by Google is, as a rule, transferred to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored.

The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. You may revoke your consent at any time. Paragraph: Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission.

On this website, we have activated the IP anonymisation function. As a result, your IP address will be abbreviated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states that have ratified the Convention on the European Economic Area prior to its transmission to the United States. The full IP address will be transmitted to one of Google’s servers in the United States and abbreviated there only in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google shall use this information to analyse your use of this website to generate reports on website activities and to render other services to the operator of this website that are related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted in conjunction with Google Analytics from your browser shall not be merged with other data in Google’s possession.

We have executed a data processing agreement with Google and are implementing the stringent provisions of the German data protection agencies to the fullest when using Google Analytics.

Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expanded data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Nevertheless, this does not necessarily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protection mode. For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be established. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device or comparable technologies for recognition (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube will be able to obtain information about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this information will be used to generate video statistics with the aim of improving the user friendliness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud.

Under certain circumstances, additional data processing transactions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in presenting our online content in an appealing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legitimate interest. If a corresponding agreement has been requested (e.g., an agreement to the storage of cookies), the processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the agreement can be revoked at any time.

Adobe’s Data Privacy Declaration can be found at: https://www.adobe.com/privacy/policy.html.

To ensure that fonts used on this website are uniform, this website uses fonts called Google Fonts. When you access a page on our website, your browser will load the required fonts into your browser cache to correctly display text and fonts.
