We have implemented our own Captcha service to prevent spam and abuse for new account registration and registering audio. Unfortunately this is necessary to be able to cope with the many spam attacks which are common these days. Our Captcha service displays a small icon at the lower right corner of the pages where it is active. We do not rely on any external services for our Captcha protection, which is fully covered by our Privacy Policy.
Our Captcha service aims at telling humans apart from machines when filling out forms. If a form entry is recognized to be performed by a machine (e.g. bot) then the IP address will be registered and entered into a black list, so no further connection to our websites is possible from that IP address. When humans fill out forms no IP addresses are recorded.
If you do not accept our Captcha service you can still fully navigate our website, but you cannot create an account and submit or register audio.
The web server hosting our site will log each page access. This log will also contain some personal data:
This information is necessary for legal reasons and to analyse and prevent abuse. This allows us to keep users away who try to crash our server or to have necessary evidence in case of illegal or criminal activity.
Our server logs are automatically deleted after 30 days. We will only keep log files longer when they are needed as evidence during an investigation.
You need to register an account on our website and enter the following data to be able to use our services:
You will also need to establish Two Factor Authentication by registering the site's QR code or key in the Google Authenticator or FreeOTP app. Our website will provide a QR code to make registering easy.
This is required to allow you to login safely and to always identify yourself that it's you.
If you use the contact form to Register audio on our site the following data is sent with the request:
This data is used to communicate with you, and is not saved by the web server. It is, however, saved by our email system used to send the email. The IP address is only used in case of abuse of our website or servers, as explained in paragraph Server Logs above.
Billing and payments are not handled through the website. You will receive an email from us with payment details.
We invite you to join our social communities and share our website and articles. As long as you do not visit the social media through these widgets no cookies are saved to your browser. If you click or tap these widgets your IP address might be exposed to those social community services. Note that no tracking is done through these widgets, they simply open a new window to facilitate you login to the service.
The GDPR guarantees your right to information about your personal data, as well as your rights to rectification, erasure, and portability (e.g. for transferring data). Furthermore, you have a right to restriction and objection of processing your data. You can withdraw your consent for our processing of your personal data at any time.
