Protecting your data matters to me. This website works without tracking, without analytics tools, without cookies and without external fonts or scripts. Below I explain which data is nevertheless processed.

As of: October 2026. This is a translation for convenience; the legally binding version is the German Datenschutzerklärung.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Kay Schütze
c/o DOKTOR X On-Air Promotion GmbH
Kieler Str. 107
25474 Bönningstedt
Germany
Phone: +49 177 2385278
Email: musik@kay-schuetze.de

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is operated by an external hosting provider (Host Europe GmbH, c/o Spaces, Gertrudenstraße 30–36, 50667 Köln). A data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the host.

When you visit the website, your browser automatically transmits information that is stored in so-called server log files: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, referrer URL, amount of data transferred, status code, and browser type and operating system.

Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and without technical errors. Log files are deleted after seven days at the latest, unless longer retention is required to investigate a security incident.

3. Contact by email or phone

If you contact me by email or phone, I process your details (e.g. name, email address, phone number, content of your enquiry) in order to answer your enquiry and, where applicable, prepare a quote.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as your enquiry is aimed at a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries). I delete your data once the enquiry has been fully dealt with and no statutory retention obligations (e.g. for invoices under commercial and tax law) apply.

4. Cookies and local storage

This website does not set any cookies. Fonts, images and scripts are loaded exclusively from my own server; no connection to third parties is made unless you actively start a video.

If you select the option “I have read the YouTube privacy notice – hide it on videos”, this setting is stored in your browser’s local storage (localStorage). This information does not leave your device and is not transmitted to me. Storage is necessary for the service you have expressly requested (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG). You can delete it at any time here:

5. YouTube videos (two-click solution)

On some pages I embed videos from the YouTube platform. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When the page loads, only a locally stored preview image and a play button are displayed – no data is transmitted to YouTube. Only when you click the play button is the video loaded via the domain www.youtube-nocookie.com (“privacy-enhanced mode”). A connection to Google servers is then established and, among other things, your IP address, the page visited and technical information about your browser are transmitted. YouTube may store cookies or similar technologies on your device and link the data to your Google account if you are logged in.

The legal basis is your consent, which you give by clicking the play button (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). Consent applies only to the video started and can be withdrawn for the future by reloading the page. A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists.

Further information: Google privacy policy.

6. Links to social networks

I link to my profiles on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. These are simple links with locally stored icons – no data is transmitted to the networks when you visit this website. Only when you click a link are you taken to the provider’s page, which is responsible for its own data processing:

7. Your rights

You have the right at any time to:

  • access the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR),
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
  • withdraw consent with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR),
  • object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR).

Simply contact me using the details above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein (ULD), Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel, Germany.

8. SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser’s address bar.
