Privacy policy

This is a translation for your convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.

This policy applies to Recordingbeats and to the website recordingbeats.com.

The key points

1. Controller

Evgen Grebenyuk
Provider of the website “Recordingbeats”
Luhnenstraße 7, 30559 Hannover, Germany
Email: legal@recordingbeats.com

We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not required to do so.

2. No analytics, no profiles

We do not use tracking services unless this policy states otherwise. We do not create user profiles. No automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place.

3. Website recordingbeats.com

Hosting via Cloudflare: The website consists only of static files and is delivered via Cloudflare Workers, a service of Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. We do not run a server of our own for it. When you visit, Cloudflare processes technically necessary connection data (IP address, time, page requested, browser identifier) to deliver the page encrypted (TLS) and to protect it against attacks and abuse. Cloudflare processes this data on our behalf; the legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have a data processing agreement with Cloudflare under Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfer to the USA: Cloudflare may also process data in the USA. Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, so an EU Commission adequacy decision applies (Art. 45 GDPR). EU standard contractual clauses have also been agreed (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).

Logs: We do not keep access logs for the website ourselves and do not analyse visits. Cloudflare keeps connection data only as long as necessary for operation and security.

Bot detection and security check: Cloudflare adds a small bot-detection script to every page (“JavaScript Detections”, path /cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/…). It is served from our own domain and is used only to detect and block automated access, not for tracking. If Cloudflare considers a request automated, it may show a short security check before the page.

Cookies: Cloudflare may set two technically necessary cookies: “__cf_bm” (bot detection, valid for about 30 minutes) and “cf_clearance” (after a passed security check). Both serve only to protect the website, not advertising or analytics. Legal basis: § 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG for setting and reading, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for processing.

Blocklist check: Before delivery, a Cloudflare Worker checks the IP address of each request against a blocklist of known attackers (CrowdSec). Nothing is stored in the process. The purpose is protection against attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Email address protection: Cloudflare obfuscates email addresses in the HTML so that spam bots cannot read them. For this the page loads a small script, also from our own domain; no cookie is set.

Security events: If a request triggers a security feature (e.g. a check or block), Cloudflare stores an event with IP address, browser identifier and requested path for a short time; the duration depends on the Cloudflare plan. Purpose and legal basis as above (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

No external content: The website does not load fonts, scripts or images from third-party servers. Links to stores or other websites are ordinary links; only when you click one do you go there, and that provider's privacy policy applies.

You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR).

4. Own scripts for the presentation

The website loads two of its own JavaScript files from the same address. They only create effects in your browser (a short loading screen, an animated background, headings that fade in, buttons that follow the mouse pointer slightly). They send no data, set no cookies and store nothing on your device. If your system is set to “reduce motion”, the animations stay off. Without JavaScript the content is fully readable.

5. Contact by email

If you email us, we process your email address, your name (if you provide it), the content of your message and the time in order to answer your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where a contract is concerned, otherwise our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If you exercise your rights, we process the request to meet our legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) in conjunction with Art. 12 GDPR).

Email provider: Our mailbox legal@recordingbeats.com is hosted by StartMail B.V., Boulevard 11, 3707 BK Zeist, Netherlands. StartMail stores emails on servers in the Netherlands, i.e. in the EU. No transfer to third countries takes place for this. StartMail processes emails only to provide the mailbox for us. StartMail privacy policy

Retention: We delete emails once the request has been dealt with, unless a statutory retention obligation applies (e.g. business letters relating to a purchase, § 147 AO, § 257 HGB, 6 to 10 years).

Where processing is based on our legitimate interest, you can object to it (Art. 21 GDPR). Please do not send us sensitive data by email. Transmission is usually TLS-encrypted, but not end-to-end.

6. Recipients

We do not sell data or pass it on for advertising purposes. The only recipients are those named in this policy: Cloudflare, Inc. (delivery and protection of the website); StartMail B.V. (email mailbox).

7. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). You can withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3)). For any request, an email to legal@recordingbeats.com is enough.

Complaints: You can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is: Die Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen (data protection authority of Lower Saxony), Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, https://www.lfd.niedersachsen.de

Do you have to provide data? No. You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with data. Without an email address, however, we cannot reply to you.

8. Children

Recordingbeats is not specifically aimed at children and does not ask for personal details.
