Data we collect and why
This website collects personal data only when you provide it or when it is technically necessary:
- Contact form: name, e-mail address, subject and message – to answer your request (legal basis: your consent / pre-contractual steps).
- Concert submission form: name of the ensemble, conductor, venue, city, country, date, ticket link and, optionally, your e-mail address – to review and publish the concert in the calendar and to get back to you if needed (legal basis: your consent). Once validated, the concert details (ensemble, venue, date) are published on the website; your e-mail address is never published.
- Server logs: IP address, browser, pages requested – kept by the hosting provider for security purposes (legal basis: legitimate interest).
- Anonymous statistics: page views are counted with Koko Analytics, a tool installed on this website that sets no cookie and stores no identifying information.
- Embedded content (Spotify, SoundCloud, the Facebook news feed, YouTube): Spotify and SoundCloud players and the Facebook feed are only loaded if you accept cookies in the banner; YouTube videos are only loaded after you click on them. Once loaded, the provider may set its own cookies, receive your IP address and collect data according to its own policy.
Retention
Messages sent through the forms are kept for a maximum of 12 months after the request has been handled, then deleted. Concert submissions are kept as long as the concert is published in the calendar. Server logs are kept by the hosting provider in accordance with its own policy.
Recipients and hosting
Your data is processed by Georges Sadeler only and is not sold or passed on to third parties. It is stored on servers of o2switch located in France (European Union). Form messages are also delivered to the e-mail addresses of Georges Sadeler.
