Privacy Policy

1. Controller

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

2. Hosting & Server Log Files

This website is hosted on a private server. The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits to us. This includes: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, IP address, date and time of the request, and the pages accessed.

This data is not merged with other data sources. Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and efficient operation of the website). Log files are retained for a maximum of 30 days.

3. Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use the following types:

• Technically necessary cookies: Required for the basic functioning of the website (e.g. remembering your cookie consent choice). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
• Newsletter preference cookies: If you subscribe to our newsletter, a cookie may be set to prevent duplicate subscription prompts. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent).

You can configure or disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website.

4. Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process your email address for the purpose of sending you product updates and news. We use a double opt-in procedure: after you submit your address, you will receive a confirmation email containing a verification link. Your address is only added to our list once you click that link.

Subscriber data (email address, signup timestamp, IP address and browser at the time of consent) is stored on our own server inside the European Union. We do not use any third-party email-marketing service such as Mailchimp, Brevo or similar — your data is not transferred to any processor outside our infrastructure.

The IP address and browser information are stored as proof of consent in accordance with Art. 7(1) GDPR and are not used for any other purpose.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email or by contacting us at hello@janus-audio.com. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to the withdrawal.

5. Social Media

This website contains links to our profiles on SoundCloud and Instagram. These are standard hyperlinks only — no third-party scripts, tracking pixels or embeds are loaded on this page. When you click a link and visit those platforms, their own privacy policies apply.

6. Your Rights

Under GDPR you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 15) — you may request confirmation of whether we process your data and obtain a copy.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16) — you may request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17) — you may request deletion of your data where it is no longer necessary.
• Right to restriction (Art. 18) — you may request restricted processing in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20) — you may receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object (Art. 21) — you may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3)) — where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@janus-audio.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Germany, this is the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit (www.datenschutz-berlin.de).
