Privacy policy
TEMPLATE, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. Replace every PLACEHOLDER and have this policy checked with a privacy policy generator or a lawyer, especially the legal bases and international data transfers.
This is a translation of the German Datenschutzerklärung. If the two versions differ, the German version applies.
1. Controller
Rodolfo Cruz Arista, Freienfelsstraße 2b, 81249 München, Germany, email: [email protected]. See also the Impressum (legal notice).
2. Hosting
This website is hosted by Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., USA, PLACEHOLDER: check address). When you visit, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data such as your IP address, the time and the page requested, in order to deliver the website and protect it from attacks. PLACEHOLDER: check and add the legal basis, the data processing agreement and the international transfer basis (for example the EU-US Data Privacy Framework).
3. Visitor statistics with Cloudflare Web Analytics
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit which pages and where they come from. It sets no cookies and builds no profiles of individual visitors. PLACEHOLDER: add the legal basis and details.
4. Fonts
Fonts are loaded from this website itself. There is no connection to Google Fonts or any other font provider.
5. Contact form
If you use the contact form, your name, email address, reason and message are forwarded to me by email through the Web3Forms service, and used only to handle your enquiry. PLACEHOLDER: check and add the provider, location and legal basis for Web3Forms.
6. Newsletter and free downloads
For the newsletter and free downloads I use MailerLite (UAB "MailerLite", Lithuania, PLACEHOLDER: check address). After signing up you receive an email asking you to confirm (double opt-in). Only then are you added and sent the download link. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. PLACEHOLDER: add the legal basis and data processing agreement, and have the link between download and newsletter checked legally.
7. Embedded content from YouTube and Spotify
YouTube videos (Google Ireland Limited) and Spotify players (Spotify AB, Sweden) only load when you click the player. Before that, no data is sent to these providers. After the click, the provider's own privacy policy applies; YouTube is embedded in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). PLACEHOLDER: add the legal basis and international transfer details.
8. Links to other platforms
Links to Spotify, YouTube, Bandcamp, Backstage PRO, Ko-fi and other platforms are simple links. No data is sent until you follow them.
9. Your rights
You have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and the right to withdraw any consent at any time. You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority. PLACEHOLDER: add the authority responsible for your federal state (for Bavaria, check which authority applies).
