1. Overview
This privacy policy informs you in accordance with Art. 13 GDPR about the processing of personal data when visiting this website.
This website uses no web analytics tools and no advertising networks. Third-party embedded content is only loaded after explicit consent (§ 25 TTDSG).

Sample Street 1, 12345 Sample City, Germany

3. Hosting & Server Logs
This website is hosted by: [HOSTING PROVIDER, COUNTRY].
The hosting provider automatically collects the following data in server log files:
- IP address (possibly anonymised)
- Date and time of access
- Requested URL
- Browser type and version, operating system
- Referring URL (referrer)
- HTTP status code
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Retention: Server logs are typically deleted after 7–14 days.
A data processing agreement (DPA) has been concluded with the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR (where required).
4. Cookies & Local Storage
This website does not set HTTP cookies by the operator. However, the browser's Web Storage (localStorage) is used for the following purposes:
| Key | Purpose | Legal basis | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
lang |
Stores your language preference (de/en) | Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; § 25(2) no. 2 TTDSG (strictly necessary) | Until you clear your browser cache |
consent |
Stores your consent decision (timestamp + categories) | Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; § 25(2) no. 2 TTDSG | Until you clear your cache or withdraw consent |
Since these are Web Storage entries (not HTTP cookies) and are technically necessary for operating the consent management, they do not require prior consent under § 25 TTDSG.
5. Embedded Third-party Content: Spotify
This website may embed a Spotify player provided by Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden.
Important: The Spotify player is only loaded after your explicit consent (§ 25(1) TTDSG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). No connection to Spotify is established before consent.
What data is transmitted when the Spotify player is active?
- Your IP address
- Browser type, operating system
- Referring URL (this website)
- Interactions with the player (e.g. playing a track)
- Cookies set by Spotify (tracking, personalisation, functionality)
Data transfers to third countries
Spotify AB is based in the EEA (Sweden). For processing outside the EEA, Spotify relies on EU Standard Contractual Clauses. See Spotify's Privacy Policy.
Legal basis & withdrawal
The legal basis for processing is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TTDSG). You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the link in the footer. After withdrawal, the Spotify player will no longer be loaded automatically on your next visit.
6. External Links
