Protecting Your Data is Our Concern
We are pleased about your interest in our company and our products or services and want you to feel secure when visiting our websites regarding the protection of your personal data. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Compliance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) is a matter of course for us.
We want you to know when we collect what data and how we use it. We have implemented technical and organizational measures that ensure compliance with data protection regulations both by us and by external service providers commissioned by us.
Personal Data
Personal data is information about your identity. This includes information such as name, address, telephone number, and email address. The processing of this information always takes place in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and other applicable data protection regulations for our company.
For using our website, it is generally not necessary to provide personal data. However, in certain cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary, for example, to provide services you have requested.
The same applies, for example, to sending information materials and ordered goods or answering individual questions. Where this is necessary, we will inform you accordingly.
If there is no legal basis for processing this personal data, we will obtain your consent.
In addition, we only store and process data that you voluntarily provide to us and, if applicable, data that we automatically collect when you visit our websites (e.g., your IP address and the names of the pages you visit, the browser and operating system you use, date and time of access, search engines used, names of downloaded files).
When you use our services, we generally only collect data that we need to provide the services. If we ask you for additional data, this is voluntary information. The processing of personal data is carried out exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling the requested service and safeguarding our own legitimate business interests.

The collected information is needed to correctly deliver the contents of our website.

Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data
We process personal data of data subjects only for as long as is necessary to achieve the underlying purpose or as long as this is provided for by legal regulations to which our company is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a statutory storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

On the website of Musikschule Fröhlich, there is the possibility to interact with the social network "Facebook", Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. The plugin is recognizable by the Facebook logo (white "f" on blue background and/or a "thumbs up" symbol). An overview of Facebook plugins can be found here:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
When the plugin is activated, a connection to Facebook's servers in the USA is established and transmits which web pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a Facebook member at the same time, this information is assigned to your personal Facebook user account by Facebook. If you use the plugin functions, e.g., by clicking the "Like" button or commenting, this information is also transmitted and assigned to your Facebook account. You can prevent this interaction by logging out of your Facebook user account before activating the plugin.
The use of the Facebook plugin is subject to Facebook's terms of use and privacy policy. Information about the collection and use of your data can be found in Facebook's privacy policy:
