Privacy Policy
Status: September 2026
1. Introduction
Below we inform you about the processing of personal data when using our website and when contacting us. Personal data is all data that relates to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.
2. Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically. Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions you have requested, or for the optimization of the website (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. This website only uses technically necessary cookies; we do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
1.1 Controller
The controller within the meaning of Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Nachlizenzierung.de, Leif Dunkelmann, Werderstraße 135, 19055 Schwerin, Germany, e-mail: info@nachlizenzierung.de. We are legally represented by Leif Dunkelmann.
1.2 Scope of data processing, purposes and legal bases
The following legal bases generally apply: Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR for processing operations for which we obtain consent; Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, e.g. inquiries about our services; Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR where we fulfill a legal obligation; Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR where we can rely on legitimate interests, e.g. cookies required for the technical operation of our website.
1.3 Data processing outside the EEA
Where we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, adequacy decisions of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR guarantee the security of the data transfer where available, e.g. for the United Kingdom, Canada and Israel. For data transfers to service providers in the USA, the legal basis is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission if the provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Otherwise, the legal basis is generally standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) (b) GDPR.
1.4 Storage period
Unless expressly stated, data stored by us is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its purpose and no legal retention obligations prevent deletion. Otherwise, processing is restricted, i.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes, e.g. due to commercial or tax retention obligations.
1.6 Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the transfer, or if any other legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid contract on order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
1.5 Rights of data subjects
Data subjects have the following rights regarding their personal data: the right to information, rectification or erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. There is also the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Contact details of the supervisory authorities: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html
1.7 Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
1.8 Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
1.9 Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.
1.10 Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this; for the duration of the verification you have the right to request the restriction of processing. If the processing is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of erasure. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your and our interests must be carried out; as long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing. If you have restricted processing, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
1.11 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 particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
3. Contact form and contact by e-mail
When you contact us via the form or by e-mail, we process the details you provide (e.g. name, company, e-mail address, reference and the content of your message) to handle your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) GDPR. Information from businesses regarding a specific music use, including submitted licenses, is used exclusively to review the matter in question. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent, unless this is necessary for the performance of the contract or to protect legitimate interests. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose and no retention obligations prevent deletion.
4. Server log files
When you access our website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files (including browser type, operating system, referrer URL, host name, time of request, IP address). This data is not merged with other data sources and is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the technically error-free presentation of our website. The log files are stored for a limited period and then deleted.
5. Hosting and content delivery
Our website is operated by a professional hosting provider, which processes access and log data on our behalf to provide, secure and stabilize the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Where content delivery networks are used, data may be processed in data centers outside the EEA; in that case the safeguards described in section 1.3 apply.
6. Rights and case management
In the context of our services, we process data relating to music uses, platform content, accounts, companies and licensing matters. Where this data relates to natural persons, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the performance of the rights holders' mandate: identification, review and documentation of commercial music uses and the execution of licensing processes. Affected parties are contacted, where necessary, exclusively in the context of the specific matter, limited to what is required and fully documented. Any use for other purposes or transfer to third parties only takes place where necessary for the performance of the mandate, in particular within a structured handover to appointed legal counsel.
7. Data protection officer
The data protection officer is Leif Dunkelmann, Werderstraße 135, 19055 Schwerin, Germany, e-mail: info@nachlizenzierung.de.
