General information
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website or take part in our giveaway. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally.
Who is responsible for data collection?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in this website’s Legal Notice.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected, firstly, when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data you enter into a contact form, send us by email, or submit via WhatsApp as part of our giveaway. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website, or after you give your consent. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or the time a page was accessed).
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data (such as your email address or WhatsApp number) is used only for the purpose you provided it for—for example, to reply to your message or to run our giveaway.
What rights do you have?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given consent to data processing, you can withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.
The responsible entity for data processing on this website and for running the giveaway is:
Dr. Axel Scharfschwerdt
Bunch of Ace
Heinrich-Hertz-Str. 5
29664 Walsrode
Email: info@bunchoface.de
Phone: 01556 5522001
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal message by email or WhatsApp is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
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 Lower Saxony, this is: The State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony.
Server log files
The site provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of its website.
Contact form and email contact
If you send us inquiries via the contact form or by email, your details—including the contact data you provide there—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual/pre-contractual measures) or on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Fan sign-up (email updates)
If you sign up for our updates, we process the email address you provide solely to send you news about releases, shows, and promotions. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time—just reply briefly to one of our emails. We will then remove your address from the mailing list.
If you take part in the “Käfig aus Gold” release giveaway, we process the data you submit depending on the participation channel you choose.
Participation via contact form or email
If you participate via the contact form or by email, we process your name and email address. This data is required to notify you if you win. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Participation via WhatsApp
If you take part in the giveaway via WhatsApp message, we process your mobile number, the profile name stored in WhatsApp, and the content of your message. Please note: WhatsApp is a service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited (Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland). If you contact us via WhatsApp, data is transmitted to WhatsApp. This may also include transfers to third countries (such as the USA). We have no influence over WhatsApp’s data processing. You can find more details at whatsapp.com. We process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR to run the giveaway and on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Sharing data with shipping providers
If you win, we will ask for your postal address. We share this data (name and address) only with the shipping provider we commission (e.g., Deutsche Post / DHL) in order to deliver the prize package to you. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
How long we store your data
All personal data collected as part of the giveaway will be deleted once the giveaway has been fully completed. Winners’ data will be stored for as long as necessary to meet statutory retention and warranty obligations.
YouTube videos
On our music pages, we embed videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). A video is only loaded when you actively start it. Only at that moment does your browser connect to YouTube’s servers and transmit, among other things, your IP address. If you are logged into your YouTube account at the same time, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with your profile. This is used in the interest of presenting our music in an appealing way (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). You can find more information in the Google privacy policy.
TikTok posts
On the homepage, we show a selection of our own TikTok posts. Preview images and descriptions are cached on our server and delivered from there—so simply viewing the page does not establish a connection to TikTok. Only when you click a post do you leave our website and get redirected to TikTok (TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, Ireland). From that point on, the TikTok privacy policy applies.
Fonts
This website uses Google Fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the fonts from Google’s servers and transmits your IP address. The basis is our legitimate interest in a consistent display (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
On our website, we link to an external web shop where you can purchase Bunch of Ace merchandise. If you follow these links, you will leave our website. The actual purchase process and the collection and processing of your customer data (e.g., name, address, payment data) are carried out exclusively by the operator of the respective web shop as an independent controller. We do not collect, store, or process customer data from your merch orders at any time. For privacy information, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective online shop.
