Generally
As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this data protection declaration we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.
The following is responsible for data processing on this website and in our company:
Dark Prisma Records
E-Mail: contact(at)darkprisma.com
General information
SSL or TLS encryption
When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send emails over the Internet, you always have to assume that unauthorized third parties will access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do everything we can to protect your data as best as possible and to close security gaps as far as we can.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
How long do we store your data?
In some places in this privacy policy we will inform you about how long we, or the companies that process your data on our behalf, store your data. If such information is missing, we will store your data until the purpose of data processing no longer applies, you object to data processing or you revoke your consent to data processing.
However, in the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
We have compelling legitimate reasons for continuing data processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms (only if you object to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct advertising, we cannot put forward any legitimate reasons).
Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).
We are legally obliged to retain your data.
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) no longer apply.
Data transfer to the USA
On our website we also use tools from companies that transmit your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are: B. obligated to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It may therefore be the case that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Your rights
Objection to data processing
IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE ARE USING THIS IN ART. 6 ABS. 1 SET 1 LIT. F) TO SUPPORT GDPR, YOU HAVE ACCORDING TO ART. 21 GDPR THE RIGHT TO OBJECT. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, WHICH IS TAKEN BASED ON THE STATED REGULATION. THE REQUIREMENT IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT RESULT FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. A JUSTIFICATION IS NOT REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED TO THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS MEET:
WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPLEX REASONS FOR PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOM.
THE PROCESSING IS USED TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED TO DIRECT ADVERTISING OR PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH IT.

data processing on social media
What is social media?
By social media we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. Read below to find out which social networks these are.
Who processes your data?
The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators below under the respective networks.
How is your data processed?
The operators of social networks are generally able to collect and evaluate comprehensive data about the behavior of visitors and users of the network. It is not possible for us to track all processing operations in the social networks we use, which is why additional processing operations not listed here may be carried out by the operators of the social networks. You can find further information about this in the terms of use and data protection declarations of the respective social networks.
The processing of your data can be triggered by visiting the social network website or our profile page there. Even if you access a website that uses certain content from the network, e.g. like or share buttons, data can already be transferred to the operators of the social network. If you are a user of the social network and are logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page can be assigned to your account by the operator of the social network. Even if you have not registered a user account yourself or are not logged in, the network operator may still collect your personal data, e.g. by recording your IP address or by setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles tailored to your behavior and interests and show you interest-based advertising within and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, interest-based advertising may also be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.
On what legal basis is your data processed?
Our profiles on social networks are intended to ensure that our company has the broadest possible presence on the Internet. We as a company have a legitimate interest in this. Data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
The data processing operations and analyzes carried out by the operators of the social networks themselves may be based on other legal bases. These must be provided by the operators of the social networks.
Who is responsible for processing your data and how can you exercise your rights?
If you visit one of our profiles on social networks, we, together with the operator of the respective network, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights against both us and the operator of the respective network.
Despite the shared responsibility with the operators of the social networks, our influence on the data processing operations of the respective operator is limited and is primarily based on the operator's specifications.
How long is your data stored?
If we collect data via our profiles on social networks, it will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it or you revoke your consent to storage. Saved cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on how long the operators of the social networks store your data, which the operators collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information about this directly from the operator of the respective social network, e.g. in the respective data protection declaration.
