Privacy Policy

We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of DANIEL TROHA MUSIC. As a general rule, the DANIEL TROHA MUSIC website can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of specific services offered by our company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. Where the processing of personal data is necessary and no legal basis exists for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to DANIEL TROHA MUSIC. Through this Privacy Policy, our company seeks to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this Privacy Policy informs data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, DANIEL TROHA MUSIC has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The Privacy Policy of DANIEL TROHA MUSIC is based on the terminology used by the European legislature when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To achieve this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.

In this Privacy Policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for processing

The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of a Member State shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions relating to data protection is:

3. Cookies

The DANIEL TROHA MUSIC website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system through an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that enables websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific internet browser in which it has been stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser from other internet browsers containing different cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of its unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, DANIEL TROHA MUSIC can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

Cookies allow the information and services offered on our website to be optimised for the benefit of users. As mentioned above, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not need to re-enter their login details each time they visit, because this information is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a shopping cart cookie used by an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.

Data subjects can prevent cookies from being placed by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser they use, thereby permanently objecting to the placement of cookies. Cookies that have already been placed can also be deleted at any time using an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all commonly used internet browsers. If a data subject disables cookies in their internet browser, some functions of our website may not be fully available.

4. Collection of general data and information

The DANIEL TROHA MUSIC website collects a range of general data and information whenever a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following information may be collected:

1. The browser types and versions used;
2. The operating system used by the accessing system;
3. The website from which an accessing system reaches our website (known as the referrer);
4. The subpages accessed through an accessing system on our website;
5. The date and time of access to the website;
6. An Internet Protocol address (IP address);
7. The internet service provider of the accessing system; and
8. Other similar data and information used to protect our information technology systems against attacks.

When using this general data and information, DANIEL TROHA MUSIC does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is required to:

1. Deliver the content of our website correctly;
2. Optimise the content of our website and the advertising displayed on it;
3. Ensure the continued functionality of our information technology systems and website technology; and
4. Provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

DANIEL TROHA MUSIC therefore evaluates this anonymously collected data and information statistically and also uses it to improve data protection and data security within our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous server log file data is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on our website

Data subjects may register on the controller’s website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the relevant input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for the controller’s internal use and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be disclosed to one or more processors, such as a parcel delivery service, which will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to the controller.

When a data subject registers on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, where necessary, to investigate offences that have been committed. Accordingly, storing this data is necessary to safeguard the controller’s interests. As a general rule, this data is not disclosed to third parties unless disclosure is required by law or serves the purposes of criminal prosecution.

The voluntary registration of a data subject and the provision of personal data enable the controller to offer content or services that, by their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered users may amend the personal data provided during registration at any time or request that it be completely deleted from the controller’s records.

Upon request, the controller will inform any data subject at any time about the personal data stored concerning them. Furthermore, the controller will correct or delete personal data at the request or upon notification by the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent such action. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contacts in this regard.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

The DANIEL TROHA MUSIC website allows users to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the relevant input form.

DANIEL TROHA MUSIC regularly informs its customers and business partners about company offers by means of a newsletter. As a general rule, our newsletter can only be received if:

1. The data subject has a valid email address; and
2. The data subject registers for newsletter distribution.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address initially provided by the data subject for newsletter distribution using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email verifies whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, together with the date and time of registration. Collecting this data is necessary to investigate any potential misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to protect the controller’s legal interests.

The personal data collected as part of newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Newsletter subscribers may also be informed by email where this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, for example in the event of changes to the newsletter service or technical changes.

Personal data collected in connection with the newsletter service is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects may cancel their newsletter subscription at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data provided for newsletter distribution may also be withdrawn at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for withdrawing consent. Data subjects may also unsubscribe at any time directly on the controller’s website or notify the controller by other means.

7. Newsletter tracking

The DANIEL TROHA MUSIC newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be evaluated statistically. Using the embedded tracking pixel, DANIEL TROHA MUSIC can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were clicked.

The personal data collected through tracking pixels in newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller to optimise newsletter distribution and better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject.

This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to withdraw at any time their separate declaration of consent given through the double opt-in procedure. Following withdrawal, the controller will delete the relevant personal data. DANIEL TROHA MUSIC automatically treats an unsubscribe request as a withdrawal of consent to newsletter tracking.

8. Contact through the website

In accordance with statutory requirements, the DANIEL TROHA MUSIC website provides information enabling rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, including a general email address.

If a data subject contacts the controller by email or through a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties.

9. Comment function on the website blog

DANIEL TROHA MUSIC offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on specific blog posts published on the controller’s website. A blog is a website-based portal, generally accessible to the public, in which one or more people, known as bloggers or web bloggers, publish articles or record their thoughts in posts. Blog posts can generally be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comment itself, the time at which it was submitted and the username or pseudonym selected by the data subject are stored and published. The IP address assigned to the data subject by their internet service provider (ISP) is also recorded.

The IP address is stored for security reasons and in case the data subject infringes the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content through a comment. This personal data is therefore stored in the controller’s legitimate interests, so that the controller may, where necessary, defend itself against claims arising from a legal infringement.

The personal data collected in this way is not disclosed to third parties unless disclosure is required by law or serves the controller’s legal defence.

10. Subscription to blog comments

Comments posted on the DANIEL TROHA MUSIC blog may generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commenter may subscribe to subsequent comments on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automated confirmation email using the double opt-in procedure to verify that the owner of the specified email address has genuinely chosen this option. The comment subscription can be cancelled at any time.

11. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data relating to a data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose for which it is stored, or where this is provided for by the European legislature or another competent legislature in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

Once the storage purpose no longer applies or a retention period prescribed by the European legislature or another competent legislature expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions.
