Questions about your data: Turn on Javascript!.
Which data, and why?
The contact form. You enter your name, your email address and a message. We use them only to reply to you. The form sends them to our mailbox as an email; they are not kept on the website. The basis is your own request: without these details we cannot reply.
Technical data. Like every web server, the server of our hosting company keeps for a short time which pages are requested, with the IP address of the requester. This serves to keep the website safe and reachable.
How long do we keep them?
Your message stays in our mailbox for as long as it takes to deal with your question, and for two years at most.
Who do we share them with?
With no one, except the services we need to work: the company that hosts this website and the provider of our mailbox (Google). We do not sell or rent out any data.
Cookies and content from other websites
The website sets one cookie: a session cookie that protects the contact form against abuse. It disappears when you close the browser and is not used to follow you. It needs no consent.
The music players on the pages of our music projects come from Bandcamp. They are only loaded when you click “Listen” yourself. From then on the rules of Bandcamp apply as well; until then Bandcamp knows nothing about your visit.
On the home page you can show the latest posts of our Facebook page. These too are only loaded when you click “Show posts” yourself; from then on the rules of Facebook apply as well.
To know how many people visit the website and which pages they read, we count visits with GoatCounter. No cookies are set. What we pass on: the address of the page visited (without what follows a question mark), its title, the other website you came from, the screen size, and what your browser says about itself. According to GoatCounter, your IP address is only used to find the country and is not stored. If you have switched on “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” in your browser, you are not counted.
Your rights
You may ask us which data we hold about you, and have them corrected or erased. Send an email to Turn on Javascript!; we reply within a month.
