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.
1.1 Controller
The controller within the meaning of Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Schloss Rights Management, Leif Dunkelmann, Werderstraße 135, 19055 Schwerin, Germany, e-mail: info@schloss-rights.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.
1.5 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
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
