2. Accessing the Website and Hosting

When this website is accessed, connection data required for technical operation is processed. This may include, in particular, the IP address, date and time of access, the address requested, the volume of data transferred, confirmation of successful retrieval, the referrer URL, and information about the browser and operating system. This processing is necessary to deliver the website, ensure its stability and identify technical attacks.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of this website. Where access to the website serves to take steps prior to entering into a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR also applies.

This website is hosted by dogado GmbH, Antonio-Segni-Straße 11, 44263 Dortmund, Germany. The hosting provider processes data as a processor for the purpose of providing the website technically. Log data is deleted or anonymised as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes stated above. It is retained for longer only where necessary to investigate a security incident or to comply with a legal obligation.

3. Contact

If you contact us through the contact form, by email or by telephone, the information you provide will be processed for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. For the contact form, this comprises your name or company, telephone number, email address, subject and message. The information is transmitted through the hosting provider’s web server to the controller’s email address.

Where your enquiry relates to entering into or performing a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR is the legal basis. In other cases, processing is based on the legitimate interest in responding appropriately to enquiries pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Your information will be deleted once the enquiry has been dealt with conclusively, unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate grounds require continued storage.

4. Cookies, Analytics and External Content

This website does not use analytics, marketing or profiling cookies and does not load Google Analytics or any other external statistics service. A consent banner is therefore not required.

For an internal overview, the website’s own server stores anonymous counts only: pages viewed and the frequency of selected actions, such as opening the live films and playing the Hertie song. No IP addresses, device identifiers or personal browsing histories are stored. No cookies are set.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in a coarse, non-identifying review of how the website is used.

The video and audio files presented on the website are hosted locally and do not establish connections to external media platforms.

The website contains an ordinary external link to the “Kevin Forbes PianoGold” YouTube channel. A connection to YouTube is established only when you select that link and leave this website. The respective platform operator is responsible for any subsequent processing. Google’s privacy information is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Rights of Data Subjects

Subject to the requirements of the GDPR, you have, in particular, the following rights:

• the right of access to your personal data;
• the right to rectification of inaccurate data;
• the right to erasure or restriction of processing;
• the right to data portability, where the statutory requirements are met; and
• the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In particular, the competent authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen). Further information is available at www.ldi.nrw.de.

6. Data Security and Updates

This website is provided through an encrypted HTTPS connection. Technical and organisational measures are adapted in line with the state of the art. This Privacy Policy may be updated if the website or the applicable legal requirements change.
