Privacy Policy

This website is operated by BassAssassins Records.

We highly value the privacy of our website visitors and strive to protect their data to the best of our ability. Therefore, we make every effort to comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In the following, we explain how we process your data on our website in a clear and transparent manner to ensure you understand what happens with your information.

Data protection applies to the processing of personal data. Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you personally. This includes, for example, the IP address of the device (PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.) you are using.

Processing of such data occurs when "something is done with it". For example, your browser transmits your IP address to our service provider, where it is automatically stored. This constitutes data processing according to Article 4(2) of the GDPR for personal data as defined by Article 4(1) of the GDPR.

You can find these and other legal definitions in Article 4 of the GDPR.

Data protection is governed by laws. These include:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – a European regulation
• BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) – a national law
• TDDDG – which supplements GDPR regarding the use of cookies.

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is the data controller as defined by the GDPR. This refers to the individual or legal entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

You can contact the data controller at:
