DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT
Collecting, processing and using personal data
The purpose of our business is the organization and arrangement of events, as well as all agency services for artists and all services connected with these activities. The data collection, processing and use of data are conducted in order to fulfil this purpose (so called “legitimate interests”).
The user can visit the website of PHI GmbH without providing any personal details. The PHI GmbH will only store impersonal access data, such as the name of the Internet service provider, the page from which the user visited, or the name of the file requested. This data will be used exclusively to improve the offer of PHI GmbH and does not allow any conclusion to be drawn regarding the person.
Personal data will only be collected if the user notifies this to PHI GmbH voluntarily as part of the registration (opening an account), within the framework of an order or during registration for the Newsletter. PHI GmbH will use the data notified by the user without his separate consent solely to fulfil and process the order. When processing of the order has been completed and the purchase price paid in full, the customer data will be blocked for further use and deleted after expiration of the retention periods required under the tax laws and under commercial legislation, unless the user has expressly consented to the further use of his data. The data given as part of the registration is stored until the deletion of the customer account. The customer can instruct a deletion of his customer account any time by email to peter.hosek@image-music.com. In compliance with statutory retention periods PHI GmbH immediately proceeds to delete the personal data after this period. If the user registers for the Newsletter, the E-mail address will be used with his consent for the advertising purposes of PHI GmbH, until the user cancels his registration for the Newsletter. Cancellation of this registration is possible at any time.
Use of cookies
PHI GmbH uses cookies on various pages in order to structure the visit to this website attractively and to allow the use of certain functions. This concerns small text files which are filed on the computer of the user. Most of the cookies used by PHI GmbH are deleted from the hard disk of the user after the end of the browser session (known as session cookies). Other cookies remain on the computer of the user and allow PHI GmbH to recognize the computer when the user next visits this website (known as permanent cookies).
Use of Facebook plug-ins
Plug-ins for the social networking site Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA are integrated on PHI GmbH’s pages. The user recognizes the Facebook plug-ins by the Facebook logo or the “Like Button” on this page. An overview of the Facebook plug-ins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
If the user visits the pages of PHI GmbH a direct connection between his browser and the Facebook server is created via the plug-in. From this Facebook receives the information that the user has visited the site of PHI GmbH with his IP address. If the user clicks the Facebook “Like Button” whilst he is logged into his Facebook account, the user can link to the contents of these pages on his Facebook profile. This means that Facebook can allocate the visit to the website of PHI GmbH to the user account. PHI GmbH wants to draw attention to the fact that PHI GmbH, as supplier of the site, obtains no knowledge of the content of the data transferred and its use by Facebook. Further information about the Facebook data protection statement can be found here: http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php
