With this privacy notice we inform you, in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which personal data we process when you visit djtutor.com or contact us, for what purposes and on what legal basis, how long we keep the data, and what rights you have.
1. Controller
The controller for data processing on this website is:
ANS Media
Norbert Stangl
Unterm Einsatz 14
78224 Singen
Germany
Email:
Further details are given in the Imprint. We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not legally required to do so. For any question about data protection, please use the email address above.
2. The short version
- We use no analytics and no tracking tools — no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel or anything comparable.
- Fonts, images, stylesheets and scripts are loaded from our own server. There are no social media plugins and no embedded maps.
- Video thumbnails are stored on our own server and served from there. Opening a page therefore establishes no connection to YouTube or Google at all.
- The only exception is a YouTube video you choose to play: it loads only after you actively click the play button (see section 7).
- We set only a technically necessary session cookie, which is why there is no cookie banner. Your consent for a video is given at the video itself.
- Some pages link to our own other websites and to selected third-party sites, and some of those links are paid - every one of those is marked as advertising. We do not count your clicks (see section 9).
- We receive personal data from you only if you write to us.
- There is no user account, no shop, no newsletter and no comment function.
3. Hosting and server log files
Each time a page is requested, your browser automatically transmits information to the server, which is stored in so-called server log files:
- IP address of the requesting device
- date and time of access
- the page or file requested, the volume of data transferred and the HTTP status code
- the website from which you reached us (referrer)
- the browser and operating system used (user agent)
These data are technically necessary in order to deliver the website, to ensure its stability and security and to defend against attacks. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website. The log files are not combined with other data and are deleted or anonymised after a short period, unless they are required to investigate a specific security incident.
4. SSL/TLS encryption
The website is accessible exclusively over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Data you transmit to us therefore cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the padlock symbol and by "https://" in your browser's address bar.
5. Cookies and local storage
We use a single technically necessary session cookie, which our content management system requires in order to maintain a session and to protect forms against misuse. It contains no tracking identifier and is deleted when you close your browser. The legal basis is Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG together with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We do not use any analytics, profiling or advertising cookies. Please note that once you have started a YouTube video, YouTube may itself store or read information on your device; see section 7.
6. Contact by email and contact form
If you write to us, we process the data you provide — typically your name, email address and your message — solely in order to deal with your enquiry. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or its preparation, and otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest being to answer enquiries addressed to us. We delete the data once your enquiry has been dealt with in full and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
7. YouTube videos (two-click, no-cookie)
This website presents videos from the YouTube channel of Johnathan Lewis ("Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor"), used with the creator's permission. The video platform is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
We use exclusively YouTube's extended data protection mode (embedding via youtube-nocookie.com) together with a two-click solution: as long as you do not click the play button, no connection to YouTube or Google is established. The preview image you see is stored on, and delivered from, our own server. Only your click loads the video from YouTube.
From that moment, Google receives in particular your IP address, the address of the page on which you are watching the video, and technical information about your browser and device. Even in extended data protection mode, YouTube may store or read information on your device after playback begins (for example in your browser's local storage) and may process data for playback, fraud prevention and statistical purposes. If you are logged in to Google or YouTube, Google can associate the request with your account; you can prevent this by logging out beforehand. Google also processes data in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection (Article 45 GDPR).
The legal basis is your consent, given by clicking the play button (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). That consent applies only to the individual video and the individual page view. You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future by leaving or reloading the page and deleting any data stored by YouTube in your browser. Further information is available in Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
8. Transcripts and site content
The transcripts published alongside the videos are produced by us from the audio of the videos, on our own systems. Producing and publishing them involves no processing of your personal data.
9. Links to other websites
Our pages contain links to external websites - among them other sites operated by us, and a number of third-party sites. We have no influence over the content of those sites or over how their operators handle your data. Responsibility for external content lies with the respective provider.
Some of those links are paid, sponsored or commission-earning. Every link of that kind is marked as advertising where it appears, so that you can tell before you click which is which. The rest are there on their own merit.
Following a link is a request you make to that site, so it receives your IP address and may see which of our pages you came from. We do not count or log your clicks - nothing about a click is recorded here beyond the ordinary server request described in section 3. A paid link differs in one respect: its address may carry an identifier, or lead through the programme's own system, so that the visit can be credited to us. That happens at the other end, under the destination's privacy policy rather than ours, and what such a programme reports back to us is totals, not personal data about you.
10. Recipients and transfer to third countries
We pass personal data to third parties only where this is necessary, where you have consented, or where we are legally obliged to do so. Our hosting provider acts as a processor under Article 28 GDPR, exclusively on our instructions. A transfer to a third country takes place only in connection with a YouTube video you have started yourself (section 7).
11. No automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.
12. Your rights
You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we hold about you (Article 15 GDPR), to have inaccurate data corrected (Article 16), to have data erased (Article 17), to have processing restricted (Article 18), to data portability (Article 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Article 21). Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the Data Protection Commissioner of Baden-Württemberg, Lautenschlagerstraße 20, 70173 Stuttgart, Germany.
13. Currency and changes
This privacy notice reflects the current state of our website. We will amend it if we change the way the site works or if legislation requires it.
