Legal basis: GDPR Article 6(1)(b) (contract), Article 6(1)(c) (legal obligation), and Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests). Where AA relies on consent for specific materials, you may withdraw consent at any time.

    • Consent management technology used to store your cookie preferences (strictly necessary cookie)

5. Website Use (Server Logs and Security)

When you visit our website, technical information may be processed in server logs (e.g., IP address, date and time, requested pages/files, referrer URL, browser and device information).

Purpose: website security, stability, abuse prevention and troubleshooting.

6. Cookies and Consent Management

6.1 What are cookies?

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or identifiers that may be stored on your device or accessed from your device. They are used to operate the website, remember your choices, and (where applicable) load embedded third-party content.

6.2 Which types of cookies/technologies do we use?

We use the following categories:

  1. A) Strictly necessary (Essential)
    These are required to operate the website and to store your consent preferences. They cannot be disabled via the banner.
  2. B) External Media
    These are used to load third-party embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos). External media is only loaded after you provide consent.

6.3 How do we obtain and manage consent?

When you visit our website, you can choose whether to allow “External Media”. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link on our website.

7. Embedded Media and External Links

7.1 Embedded YouTube Videos (External Media)

Our website may include embedded videos provided by YouTube. YouTube embeds are only loaded after you have consented to “External Media”. If you enable external media, YouTube/Google may receive personal data such as your IP address, browser/device information, and the page you visited. This may involve transfers of data outside the EU/EEA depending on the provider’s processing.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via cookie settings.

7.2 Social Media Icons (Links)

Our website contains simple links (icons) to our profiles on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. No data is transmitted to these platforms merely by displaying our website. Data processing by the respective provider typically occurs when you click a link and visit the external platform. The privacy policies of the respective providers apply.

7.3 Downloads via Dropbox (External Links)
In some cases, we provide download links hosted on Dropbox. These are external links. No connection to Dropbox services is established merely by visiting our website. Data processing by Dropbox may occur only after you click the link and are redirected to Dropbox (e.g., processing of IP address, device/browser information, and cookies depending on your settings). Dropbox’s privacy and cookie information applies.
Dropbox may display a sign-in prompt; in many cases you can proceed without creating an account by choosing “Download only”.

8. Storage and Deletion

AA stores personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described and in accordance with legal obligations.

  • Artist data is generally stored for three (3) years after cooperation ends, unless longer retention is necessary (e.g., legal obligations, claims, conflict-of-interest documentation).
  • Booking/accounting data may be retained longer where required by applicable law.

9. Your Rights

You may request access to the personal data we process about you and, where applicable, receive a copy. You may also have the right to request rectification, deletion (where we are not legally required to retain data), restriction of processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, and data portability (where applicable).

If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

To exercise your rights, contact us (see section 1).

10. Security Breaches

In the event of a security breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals without undue delay as required by applicable law. Our security procedures are continuously reviewed and updated.
