Data protection notice for social media

My social media appearances

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presence

Data processing through social networks

I maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks I use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads). When you visit my social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit my social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.

Please also note that I cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and assertion of rights

If you visit one of my social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis me as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, I do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. My options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time

The data collected directly from me via the social media presence will be deleted from my systems as soon as you ask me to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

I have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your rights

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data at any time and free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to file a complaint with the responsible regulatory agency. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

On Bandcamp, as an Artist user, I have access to various statistics about my profile, which Bandcamp automatically collects and processes. There is no way to deselect or disable these statistics. I can only ignore them, but that doesn’t change the ongoing data processing.

The data processed by Paypal includes inventory data, such as name and address, bank data, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract data, totals and recipient-related information. The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed by the payment service providers and stored with them. I.e. I do not receive any account or credit card related information, but only information with confirmation or negative information of the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data will be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of checking identity and creditworthiness. For this I refer to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the payment service provider: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

The terms and conditions and the data protection information of the respective payment service providers, which can be accessed via https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full, apply to the payment transactions.
