Privacy Policy
Your Privacy
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This policy explains how we handle your information.
What We Collect
We collect basic information you provide, such as your full name and email address if you contact us.
How We Use Information
We use your information to provide our services, respond to your inquiries, and improve our website experience.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services for analytics and website functionality. These services are required to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide.
Pirsch Analytics
For web analytics, we use Pirsch Analytics. Pirsch Analytics is a cookie-free web analytics software that was developed according to the Privacy by Design principle. To analyse visitor flows, Pirsch Analytics uses a hashing algorithm to generate a 16-digit number as the visitor ID when the page request is received. The input values are the IP address, the user agent, the date and a salt.
The visitor’s IP address is not persisted in whole or in part, and is anonymized completely and non-reversibly by the hash. The inclusion of the date and the use of one salt per website ensures that website visitors cannot be recognized for more than 24 hours and cannot be tracked across multiple websites. A rough localisation (country/city) is performed via a locally integrated database.
Apple Music Web Player
Our website may embed Apple Music web players for audio content. Apple collects data including website domain, browser/device information, general geographic data (truncated IP), and playback activity. When signed in, additional data is associated with your Apple ID. Data is stored for up to two years and Apple may use cookies or local storage. For details, see their privacy policy.
Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent spam and abuse. For more information, see the Cloudflare privacy policy.
