    The data is stored in log files. Storage of such data is not related to your personal data. The data collected is used for statistical analysis and to improve our website. Since these data is essential for the smooth operation of the website, there is no way for you to contradict the processing. The log files regularly are overwritten. The storage time of the data therefor depends on available space and the number of visitors on our website. In case there is a concrete evidence that indicate illegal use (eg hacker attack), we reserve the right to check the server log files afterwards.
  • Use of Cookies:
    On our website, cookies are used to make our website user-friendly and to enable certain functions. Cookies are small text files that through your browser are stored on your device (PC).

    When you use certain functions (eg watch YouTube videos) it is possible that cookies are by the third-party software. These cookies are beyond our control. We therefore suggest that your browser usually offers functions to administrate and to delete cookies.
  • Registration on our website:
    Our website consists of a public part and a protected members-only section. The members-only section is only accessible to registered visitors. If you register on our website – whether as a member of Motivgruppe Musik or as a temporary visitor – you agree that the following personal data is stored:
    • first and last name
    • your Email-address
    • your user name
    • your password
    • date of registration
    • date and time of last login
    • IP-address of last login
    The data is stored on a server operated by our internet provider and is only visible to the administrator of our website. The encrypted password is not visible at any time. The data is required for user management and authentication. Since the temporary guest access is granted only once, the data remain stored even after the end of the access authorization granted. This is based on the legitimate interest of Motivgruppe Musik that a guest cannot register permanently or repeated and thus surreptitiously access to content that is reserved to paying members of our study group (see IV. User rights).
