When you visit the website, our hosting provider processes technically necessary data (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser, operating system) in server log files. This ensures secure and stable operation (legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We use no tracking or analytics tools and no advertising cookies. Your language choice is only stored in the page address.

Videos are embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com, Google Ireland Ltd.) and are only loaded when you click "Play". Only then is data sent to YouTube. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which transmits your IP address to Google. Transfers to the USA are possible; Google relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

Orders for CDs and vinyl LPs are processed via the golamusic.ch shop server (www.golamusic.ch, operated by Gölä Music GmbH). The seller is Gölä Music GmbH, Postfach, 3706 Leissigen, Switzerland; fulfilment and shipping are handled by Gölä Shop, Daniel Straumann, St. Gallerstrasse 28, 8716 Schmerikon, Switzerland. To process orders we handle your name, shipping and billing address, email, phone number (optional), ordered items and payment information. The legal basis is performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Payment data is processed directly by the respective payment provider; we do not receive full card details. We only share address data with the shipping provider (e.g. Swiss Post) and with the party responsible for fulfilment and shipping, as needed for delivery. Order and invoice data is kept for the statutory retention period (10 years in Switzerland).

If you contact us, we process your details only to answer your request and delete them once they are no longer needed.

Links to Facebook, X, YouTube, Flickr, Instagram and streaming services are plain links. Data is only transferred when you click a link; the provider's privacy policy then applies.

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Please write to the address above. You may also lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or a supervisory authority in the EU.
