We are very delighted that you have
shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of
a particularly high priority for the management of Words
about Music – Stefan Stahnke. The use of the Internet
pages of Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke is possible
without any indication of personal data; however, if a
data subject wants to use special enterprise services
via our website, processing of personal data could
become necessary. If the processing of personal data is
necessary and there is no statutory basis for such
processing, we generally obtain consent from the data
subject. The processing of personal data,
such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone
number of a data subject shall always be in line with
the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the country-specific data protection
regulations applicable to Words about Music – Stefan
Stahnke. By means of this data protection declaration,
our enterprise would like to inform the general public
of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data
we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects
are informed, by means of this data protection
declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled. As the controller, Words about
Music – Stefan Stahnke has implemented numerous
technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through
this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions
may in principle have security gaps, so absolute
protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every
data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via
alternative means, e.g. by telephone. 1. Definitions The data protection declaration of
Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke is based on the terms
used by the European legislator for the adoption of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data
protection declaration should be legible and
understandable for the general public, as well as our
customers and business partners. To ensure this, we
would like to first explain the terminology used. In this data protection
declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms: a) Personal data Personal data means any information
relating to an identified or identifiable natural person
(“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one
who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in
particular by reference to an identifier such as a name,
an identification number, location data, an online
identifier or to one or more factors specific to the
physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic,
cultural or social identity of that natural person. b) Data subject Data subject is any identified or
identifiable natural person, whose personal data is
processed by the controller responsible for the
processing. c) Processing Processing is any operation or set
of operations which is performed on personal data or on
sets of personal data, whether or not by automated
means, such as collection, recording, organisation,
structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration,
retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination or otherwise making
available, alignment or combination, restriction,
erasure or destruction. d) Restriction of
processing Restriction of processing is the
marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting
their processing in the future. e) Profiling Profiling means any form of
automated processing of personal data consisting of the
use of personal data to evaluate certain personal
aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to
analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural
person's performance at work, economic situation,
health, personal preferences, interests, reliability,
behaviour, location or movements. f)
Pseudonymisation Pseudonymisation is the processing
of personal data in such a manner that the personal data
can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject
without the use of additional information, provided that
such additional information is kept separately and is
subject to technical and organisational measures to
ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an
identified or identifiable natural person. g) Controller or
controller responsible for the processing Controller or controller
responsible for the processing is the natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or other body which,
alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes
and means of the processing of personal data; where the
purposes and means of such processing are determined by
Union or Member State law, the controller or the
specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for
by Union or Member State law. h) Processor Processor is a natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i)
Recipient Recipient is a natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or another body, to
which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third
party or not. However, public authorities which may
receive personal data in the framework of a particular
inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law
shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of
those data by those public authorities shall be in
compliance with the applicable data protection rules
according to the purposes of the processing. j)
Third party Third party is a natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or body other than the
data subject, controller, processor and persons who,
under the direct authority of the controller or
processor, are authorised to process personal data. k) Consent Consent of the data subject is any
freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous
indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or
she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action,
signifies agreement to the processing of personal data
relating to him or her. 2. Name and Address of the
controller Controller for the purposes of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data
protection laws applicable in Member states of the
European Union and other provisions related to data
protection is: Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke 3. Cookies The Internet pages of Words about
Music – Stefan Stahnke may use cookies. Cookies are text
files that are stored in a computer system via an
Internet browser. Many Internet sites and servers use
cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A
cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It
consists of a character string through which Internet
pages and servers can be assigned to the specific
Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This
allows visited Internet sites and servers to
differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject
from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies.
A specific Internet browser can be recognized and
identified using the unique cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, Words
about Music – Stefan Stahnke can provide the users of
this website with more user-friendly services that would
not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the
information and offers on our website can be optimized
with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously
mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose
of this recognition is to make it easier for users to
utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies,
e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the
website is accessed, because this is taken over by the
website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's
computer system. Another example is the cookie of a
shopping cart in an online shop. The online store
remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the
virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The data subject may, at any time,
prevent the setting of cookies through our website by
means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser
used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted
at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet
browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of
cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions
of our website may be entirely usable. 4. Collection of general data and
information The website of Words about Music –
Stefan Stahnke collects a series of general data and
information when a data subject or automated system
calls up the website. This general data and information
are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1)
the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating
system used by the accessing system, (3) the website
from which an accessing system reaches our website
(so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the
date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet
service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any
other similar data and information that may be used in
the event of attacks on our information technology
systems. When using these general data and
information, Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke does not
draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather,
this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of
our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our
website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the
long-term viability of our information technology
systems and website technology, and (4) provide law
enforcement authorities with the information necessary
for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke analyzes
anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data
protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal
data we process. The anonymous data of the server log
files are stored separately from all personal data
provided by a data subject. 5. Shipping of press releases and press
information Words about Music - Stefan Stahnke informs
journalists and editorial offices regularly by means of
press releases and press information about current
activities of the artists and projects looked after by
Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke. For this purpose
Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke uses and stores the
personal data (name, publication, email address)
provided by the journalist or editorial office. Should in individual cases recipients have not yet
given their explicit consent to the sending of press
releases and press information, we assume our legitimate
interest under Article 6(f) GDPR and Recital 47(7) GDPR.
Furthermore, we also assume a legitimate interest among
the recipients, as only press releases and press
information in the field of the journalist’s and
editorial offices‘are sent out. This prevails over the
other interests, fundamental freedoms and fundamental
rights of the recipients in this case. As newsletter software,
Newsletter2Go is
used. The data of the recipients of press releases and
information are transmitted to Newsletter2Go GmbH.
Newsletter2Go is prohibited from selling and using your
data for purposes other than sending newsletters.
Newsletter2Go is a German, certified provider, which was
selected according to the requirements of the General
Data Protection Regulation and the German Federal Data
Protection Act. Further information can be found at:
https://www.newsletter2go.de/informationen-newsletter-empfaenger/ The subscription to our newsletter may be
terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent
to the storage of personal data, which the data subject
has given for shipping press releases and press
information, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose
of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found
in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe
from the mailing of press releases and press information
at any time communicating this to the controller in a
different way. 6. Press release and press information-tracking The press release and press information
mailings of Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke contain
so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a
miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are
sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and
analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the
success or failure of the press release and press
information mailings. Based on the embedded tracking
pixel, Words about Music - Stefan Stahnke may see if and
when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which
links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects. Such personal data collected in the tracking
pixels contained in the mailings are stored and analyzed
by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of
the mailings, as well as to adapt the content of future
mailings even better to the interests of the data
subject. These personal data will not be passed on to
third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to
revoke the respective separate declaration of consent
issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a
revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the
controller. Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke
automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of
the newsletter as a revocation. 7. Routine erasure and blocking of
personal data The data controller shall process
and store the personal data of the data subject only for
the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage,
or as far as this is granted by the European legislator
or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the
controller is subject to. If the storage purpose is not
applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the
European legislator or another competent legislator
expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or
erased in accordance with legal requirements. 8. Rights of the data subject a) Right of confirmation Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain from
the controller the confirmation as to whether or not
personal data concerning him or her are being processed.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right

employee of the controller. b) Right of access Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain from
the controller free information about his or her

regulations grant the data subject access to the

Furthermore, the data subject shall
have a right to obtain information as to whether
personal data are transferred to a third country or to
an international organisation. Where this is the case,
the data subject shall have the right to be informed of
the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to avail
himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any
time, contact any employee of the controller. c) Right to rectification Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to obtain from
the controller without undue delay the rectification of
inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking
into account the purposes of the processing, the data

supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to
exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at
any time, contact any employee of the controller. d) Right to erasure (Right to be

account of available technology and the cost of

arrange the restriction of the processing. f) Right to data portability Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator, to receive the
personal data concerning him or her, which was provided
to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right
to transmit those data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal data
have been provided, as long as the processing is based
on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the
GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a
contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the
GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated
means, as long as the processing is not necessary for
the performance of a task carried out in the public
interest or in the exercise of official authority vested
in the controller. Furthermore, in exercising his or
her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1)
of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to
have personal data transmitted directly from one
controller to another, where technically feasible and
when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and
freedoms of others. In order to assert the right to
data portability, the data subject may at any time
contact any employee of Words about Music – Stefan
Stahnke. g) Right to object Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator to object, on
grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at
any time, to processing of personal data concerning him
or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based
on these provisions. Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke
shall no longer process the personal data in the event
of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling
legitimate grounds for the processing which override the
interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or
for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal
claims. If Words about Music – Stefan
Stahnke processes personal data for direct marketing
purposes, the data subject shall have the right to
object at any time to processing of personal data
concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies
to profiling to the extent that it is related to such

about Music – Stefan Stahnke to the processing for
direct marketing purposes, Words about Music – Stefan
Stahnke will no longer process the personal data for
these purposes. In addition, the data subject has
the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular
situation, to object to processing of personal data
concerning him or her by Words about Music – Stefan
Stahnke for scientific or historical research purposes,
or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of
the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the
performance of a task carried out for reasons of public
interest. In order to exercise the right to
object, the data subject may contact any employee of
Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke. In addition, the
data subject is free in the context of the use of
information society services, and notwithstanding
Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object
by automated means using technical specifications. h) Automated individual
decision-making, including profiling Each data subject shall have the
right granted by the European legislator not to be
subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which produces legal
effects concerning him or her, or similarly
significantly affects him or her, as long as the
decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or
the performance of, a contract between the data subject
and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union
or Member State law to which the controller is subject
and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard
the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate
interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's
explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary
for entering into, or the performance of, a contract
between the data subject and a data controller, or (2)
it is based on the data subject's explicit consent,
Words about Music – Stefan Stahnke shall implement
suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights
and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the
right to obtain human intervention on the part of the
controller, to express his or her point of view and
contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to
exercise the rights concerning automated individual
decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any

Music – Stefan Stahnke. 9. Data protection for applications
and the application procedures The data controller shall collect
and process the personal data of applicants for the
purpose of the processing of the application procedure.
The processing may also be carried out electronically.
This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits
corresponding application documents by e-mail or by
means of a web form on the website to the controller. If
the data controller concludes an employment contract
with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for
the purpose of processing the employment relationship in
compliance with legal requirements. If no employment
contract is concluded with the applicant by the
controller, the application documents shall be
automatically erased two months after notification of
the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate
interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure.
Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a
burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal
Treatment Act (AGG). 10. Legal basis for the processing Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the
legal basis for processing operations for which we
obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the
processing of personal data is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which the data subject is
party, as is the case, for example, when processing
operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to
provide any other service, the processing is based on
Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such
processing operations which are necessary for carrying
out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of
inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our
company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the
fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based
on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing
of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital
interests of the data subject or of another natural
person. This would be the case, for example, if a
visitor were injured in our company and his name, age,
health insurance data or other vital information would
have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other
third party. Then the processing would be based on Art.
6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could
be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis
is used for processing operations which are not covered
by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if
processing is necessary for the purposes of the
legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a
third party, except where such interests are overridden
by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of
the data subject which require protection of personal
data. Such processing operations are particularly
permissible because they have been specifically
mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that
a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data
subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47
Sentence 2 GDPR). 11. The legitimate interests pursued
by the controller or by a third party Where the processing of personal
data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate
interest is to carry out our business in favor of the
well-being of all our employees and the shareholders. 12. Period for which the personal
data will be stored The criteria used to determine the
period of storage of personal data is the respective
statutory retention period. After expiration of that
period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as
long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of
the contract or the initiation of a contract. 13. Provision of personal data as
statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement
necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the
data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data We clarify that the provision of
personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax
regulations) or can also result from contractual
provisions (e.g. information on the contractual
partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a
contract that the data subject provides us with personal
data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The
data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with
personal data when our company signs a contract with him
or her. The non-provision of the personal data would
have the consequence that the contract with the data
subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is
provided by the data subject, the data subject must
contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data
subject whether the provision of the personal data is
required by law or contract or is necessary for the
conclusion of the contract, whether there is an
obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data. 14. Existence of automated
decision-making As a responsible company, we do not
use automatic decision-making or profiling. This Privacy Policy has been
generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the
DGD - Your External DPO that was developed in

German Lawyers from WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE, Cologne.
