ALIMA newsletter and Mailchimp

Visitors can subscribe to the ALIMA newsletter to receive information about new releases, exclusive content, downloads, artist news, behind-the-scenes updates and AMPP-related information.

The newsletter service is operated using Intuit Mailchimp.

The following data may be processed during registration:

  • Email address
  • First name, where provided
  • Date and time of registration
  • IP address used during registration
  • Consent and confirmation status

Double opt-in

Newsletter registration may use a double opt-in process. After registration, a confirmation email is sent to the supplied address. The subscription becomes active after the confirmation link has been selected.

Registration and confirmation information may be stored to demonstrate that valid consent was given.

Legal basis

Newsletter delivery is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by using the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter or by contacting contact@alimabeats.com .

Newsletter performance information

Depending on the selected Mailchimp campaign settings, technical information about successful delivery, newsletter opening and selected links may be processed.

Such campaign tracking is only used where legally permitted and where the relevant consent covers this processing. Tracking functions should otherwise remain disabled or limited.

Storage after unsubscribing

Newsletter data is normally processed until you unsubscribe. After unsubscribing, the email address may be retained in a suppression list where necessary to ensure that no further newsletter is sent and to document the withdrawal of consent.

Processing in the United States

Mailchimp may process information in the United States. Mailchimp states that it uses recognised transfer mechanisms including the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses.

05

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files or similar technical identifiers that may be stored on or accessed from your device when you use a website.

Technically necessary technologies

Technically necessary storage or access may be used to provide functions expressly requested by the visitor, maintain security, remember essential settings or operate the WordPress administration system.

Where the conditions are met, technically necessary storage is based on Section 25(2) TDDDG. Related processing of personal data is generally based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Optional technologies

Non-essential cookies, tracking technologies and third-party content requiring access to information on your device may only be activated after consent, where consent is legally required.

The legal basis is Section 25(1) TDDDG together with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. You can also delete stored cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit individual website functions.

!
Third-party content requires attention Music players, videos or other external embeds should not be loaded before the required consent has been provided. A Privacy Policy does not replace the technical consent configuration.
06

Embedded music, videos and external content

The website may display or link to music players, videos, pre-save pages, social media content or other external content.

Possible providers include:

  • YouTube and other Google services
  • Spotify
  • SoundCloud
  • DistroKid and DistroKid HyperFollow
  • Social media platforms

When external content is actively embedded and loaded, the relevant provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser data, the visited page, device information and the time of access.

If you are logged in to an account with the external provider, the provider may associate the interaction with your account.

Where required, embedded content is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

The external provider is independently responsible for its subsequent processing of information under its own privacy policy.

08

ALIMA Vault and free downloads

The ALIMA Vault offers selected free digital content such as wallpapers, artwork, visual packs, ZIP archives and other fan assets.

No payment information is required for the free downloads currently offered through the Vault.

When a file is downloaded, the hosting server may process the same technical server-log information described in the hosting section, including the IP address, requested file and time of access.

This processing is necessary to deliver the selected file, maintain website security and prevent technical misuse.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the reliable provision and protection of the download service.

09

Website administration, spam prevention and security

This website uses WordPress and may use technical security, anti-spam, backup and maintenance functions to protect the website and its content.

Such functions may process IP addresses, request information, error data or other technical identifiers where necessary to:

  • Detect automated spam submissions
  • Prevent unauthorised access
  • Defend against attacks and malicious requests
  • Identify technical faults
  • Create and restore website backups
  • Maintain the availability of the website

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the security, integrity and proper operation of the website.

Public visitor accounts and public comment functions are not intended to be active. Cookies used for WordPress administrator login are relevant only to authorised website administrators.

10

Recipients and service providers

Personal data is not disclosed to third parties without a lawful basis.

Depending on the website function used, recipients or categories of recipients may include:

  • Website and hosting providers
  • Email and communication providers
  • Newsletter provider Mailchimp
  • Technical website maintenance providers
  • Security and anti-spam service providers
  • External media or platform providers after activation
  • Professional advisers where legally necessary
  • Public authorities where disclosure is legally required

Service providers acting as processors are used, where required, on the basis of appropriate data processing agreements.

11

International data transfers

Some external providers may process personal data outside Germany, the European Union or the European Economic Area.

This may particularly apply to newsletter, music, video, social media, pre-save and messaging providers.

Where personal data is transferred to a country without an EU adequacy decision, the relevant provider may use safeguards such as:

  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses
  • The EU-US Data Privacy Framework
  • Additional technical and organisational safeguards
  • Another legally recognised transfer mechanism

Despite these safeguards, processing in a third country may involve risks because foreign authorities may have access rights that do not correspond fully to European data-protection standards.

12

How long personal data is retained

Personal data is retained only for as long as it is required for the relevant purpose or while a legal obligation requires continued storage.

The following criteria generally apply:

  • Contact enquiries are deleted when the enquiry has been completed and continued storage is no longer necessary.
  • Business and contractual correspondence may be retained for applicable statutory commercial, accounting and tax retention periods.
  • Newsletter data is processed until consent is withdrawn or the subscription is otherwise terminated.
  • Unsubscribed email addresses may remain in a suppression list to prevent further mailings.
  • Server logs and security information are retained only for the period required for security, troubleshooting and hosting operations.
  • Consent records may be retained for as long as necessary to demonstrate lawful processing.

Data may be retained for longer where this is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

13

14

Following an objection, the relevant personal data will no longer be processed unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
