2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted on a server operated by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. When you visit the site, the web server automatically processes information sent by your browser: IP address, date and time, requested page, amount of data transferred, browser type and operating system, and the previously visited page (referrer). This data is used to run the website securely and reliably and is deleted after a short time. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating the website).

3. Cookies and consent

On your first visit, a notice asks whether you consent to web analytics with Google Analytics. Without your consent, no analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google. Your choice is stored in the cookie “cc_cookie” for six months so that the notice does not appear on every page view. This cookie is strictly necessary (Section 25(2)(2) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG); the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR (proof of consent).

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the page. When you withdraw consent, the analytics cookies are deleted.

Google Analytics

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics records which pages you visit and how you use the website, such as scrolling, clicks on external links, downloads of press photos, starting embedded videos and the language selected for the biography. In doing so, it processes information about your device, browser, approximate location (derived from the IP address) and the referring page. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses. To recognise returning visitors, Google Analytics sets the cookies “_ga” and “_ga_*” with a lifetime of up to two years.

The purpose is to analyse how the website is used and to improve it. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Google processes the data on our behalf under a data processing agreement. The collected data is deleted after two months.

Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR). Further information: policies.google.com/privacy.

4. YouTube videos

The “Videos” section embeds videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). When the page loads, only a locally stored preview image is shown; no data is sent to YouTube. Only when you click “Play” is the video loaded from the domain youtube-nocookie.com. YouTube then receives your IP address and may process further data, especially if you are signed in to Google. The legal basis is your consent given by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). Further information: policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Contact by email

If you contact us by email, the details you provide are stored to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation or performance of a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering the enquiry). The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for this purpose and no statutory retention periods apply.

6. External links

This website links to external services (event organisers, ticket shops, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify). When you follow these links, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg (Landesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg).
