3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Responsible Party for Data Processing

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Mercedes Hochmuth

Auf d. Schildwache 36

51061, Köln

Phone: +49 151 54691944

Email: briolivemusic@gmail.com 

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Duration of Storage

If no specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected is fulfilled. If you request the deletion of your data or revoke your consent to the processing of data, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place once these reasons have ceased to apply.

General Information on Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website

If you have given your consent to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In case of express consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing will also be carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have given your consent for the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., through device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 of the German Data Protection Adaptation Act (TTDSG). Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we will process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the applicable legal bases in each case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is also necessary to transmit personal data to these external entities. We only transfer personal data to external entities if it is necessary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the transfer, or if there is another legal basis that allows the transfer of data. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid order processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that do not offer a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred and processed in these third countries. Please note that in these countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to challenge this in court. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers. We have no control over these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data affected by it, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint does not prejudice any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have personal data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to have that data transmitted to another controller where technically feasible. Wherever technically feasible, you have the right to request direct transmission of the data to another controller.

Right to Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient, the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for other questions related to personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

When you question the accuracy of your personal data stored in our system, we generally need time to verify this situation. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If you have objected in accordance with Art. 21, Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined which interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data, apart from its storage, may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your end device. They are stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you manually delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain third-party services within the websites (for example, cookies for the provision of payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain functions of the website would not work without them (for example, the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication, for providing certain functions that you request (for example, the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (for example, cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), unless another legal basis is indicated. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in storing cookies necessary for error-free and optimized technical provision of its services. If consent is requested for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the EU Technical Adaptation Act). This consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to be informed about cookie settings and allow cookies only in individual cases, reject the acceptance of cookies for specific cases, or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be affected if you disable cookies.

You can find information about which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the data provided in the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide, will be stored in order to process the inquiry and for possible follow-up inquiries. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose of data storage no longer applies (for example, after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Contact via Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

Data submitted to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose of data storage no longer applies (for example, after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our clients and other third parties, we use, among other things, the WhatsApp instant messaging service. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Communication is carried out via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the content of the communication. However, WhatsApp has access to metadata generated during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We also want to point out that, according to its own testimony, WhatsApp shares personal data of its users with its parent company, Facebook, based in the United States. You can find more details about data processing in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in quick and effective communication with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). If the corresponding consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively based on this consent; it can be revoked at any time with future effect.

The contents of the communication exchanged between us and through WhatsApp will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose of data storage no longer applies (for example, after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

We use WhatsApp in the "WhatsApp Business" variant.

Data transfer to the United States is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. You can find details here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum .
