5. Provision of the website and server log files

When this website is accessed, technically necessary information may be processed by the hosting provider.

This may include in particular:

  • IP address
  • date and time of access
  • pages or files accessed
  • volume of data transferred
  • browser type and version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing device

The processing serves the secure and technically reliable provision of the website as well as the detection and prevention of disruption or misuse.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable and technically faultless provision of our website.

The data is stored only for as long as is necessary for these purposes or as required by statutory obligations.

6. Contact by e-mail or contact form

If you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, we process the information you transmit.

This may include in particular:

  • name
  • e-mail address
  • artist or company name
  • type of enquiry
  • message
  • further information provided voluntarily

The processing serves to handle your enquiry and the subsequent communication.

Where your enquiry serves the preparation or performance of a contract, processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

For other business or general enquiries, processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Our legitimate interest lies in the proper handling of incoming enquiries.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the respective purpose, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this.

7. Mastering, production, collaboration and booking enquiries

If you contact Rafael Paulo regarding mastering, music production, collaboration, DJ or live booking, the personal data you provide voluntarily is used to handle the respective enquiry.

Where you transmit audio files, download links or other project-related information, these are processed exclusively in the context of the respective enquiry or collaboration.

Data is passed on to third parties only where this is necessary to perform the commissioned service or is required by law.

8. Music and audio player

On this website, previews of releases by Rafael Paulo can be played directly.

Where the audio files are provided directly from our own web server, using the player establishes no additional connection to an external streaming provider.

By clicking links to external music platforms you leave this website. The privacy policy of the respective provider then applies.

9. Social media links

This website contains links to the official social media profiles of Rafael Paulo.

Currently:

These are ordinary external links.

A connection to the respective provider is established only once the corresponding link is opened.

From that moment, the privacy policy of the respective platform operator applies.

10. External music and video platforms

The website may contain links to music and video platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.

As long as only an ordinary external link is shown, merely visiting our website establishes no direct connection with the respective service.

Only when you click the corresponding link or load an explicitly enabled external content can data be transmitted to the respective provider.

11. Cookies and tracking

No analytics or marketing tracking systems are currently used on this website.

In particular, no analysis of user behaviour for advertising purposes takes place.

Technically essential functions may be used where this is necessary for the operation of the website.

Should analytics, marketing or other consent-requiring services be integrated in future, this privacy policy will be adjusted accordingly and — where required — consent will be obtained beforehand.

12. SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption.

You can recognise an encrypted connection in particular by the address of the website beginning with https://.

The encryption serves to protect transmitted data against unauthorised access by third parties.

13. Recipients of data

Personal data may be processed to the technically necessary extent by service providers engaged by us, in particular by the hosting provider.

Where service providers process personal data on our behalf, the data protection requirements are observed.

14. Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, we store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective processing purpose.

Statutory retention and documentation obligations remain unaffected.

15. Right to object

Where the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right, under the statutory conditions, to object to that processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Please address your objection to: hallo@rafaelpaulo.com

16. Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to adjust this privacy policy if the website, the services used or legal requirements change.

The current version published on this website applies in each case.
