General Information and Mandatory Disclosures
Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and according to statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Notice concerning the responsible party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Timo Maneri
Schillerstrasse 2a
67141 Neuhofen
Email: info@soul-resonance-music.com
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in such cases, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for contract fulfillment or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective legal basis for each case of data processing is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Notice Regarding Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries in terms of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no comparable level of data protection as within the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revoking Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any previously granted consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
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, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Access, Rectification, and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time free of charge. You also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of its processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this 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 important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If, after the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit), this data will be required for payment processing.
Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
With encrypted communication, your payment data, which you transmit to us, cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do no harm to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can either be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of specific services provided by third-party companies on websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies necessary for electronic communication processes, the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies to measure website traffic) are stored based on 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 store cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing will only occur based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude cookies in certain situations or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be limited if cookies are disabled.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

This data is not combined with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of its website. For this, server log files must be recorded.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide, including your contact details, will be stored for processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures.

Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
4. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may be transmitted to the parent company of Google in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If consent has been requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, as far as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) under TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. This provides the website operator with various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is combined into a user ID and assigned to the respective device of the website visitor.
Google Analytics may also track your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, and it uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected datasets, using machine-learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
Processing Agreement
We have concluded a processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers as described below to handle the newsletter.
Legal Basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing that has already occurred remains unaffected by the revocation.
The UK is considered a secure third country in terms of data protection, meaning that the UK offers a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union.
Retention Period
The data you provide to receive the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter, your email address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Blacklist storage is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
Processing Agreement
We have entered into a processing agreement (AVV) for the use of the above service. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures the service provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
