7. Social Media Profiles

We maintain official profiles for THE VAMPIRES OF KOPENHAGEN on social media and video platforms in order to publish music and visual content, communicate with listeners, respond to enquiries and provide information about releases, projects and activities.

When you visit or interact with one of these profiles, the respective platform provider processes personal data under its own responsibility and in accordance with its own privacy policy. Depending on the platform, your settings and whether you are logged in, this may include your IP address, device and browser information, account and profile data, viewing behaviour, reactions, comments, messages and other interaction data.

We may process information that you actively make available to us through these platforms, including your public username, comments, reactions, mentions and direct messages. We use this information to communicate with you, answer enquiries, moderate our profiles, maintain our community and protect our profiles against misuse.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your communication concerns a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are public communication, promotion of the artistic project, community management, responding to enquiries and protecting our profiles.

The platforms may provide us with aggregated statistics and insights, such as reach, views, interactions, audience development and general demographic information. We use these statistics to evaluate and improve our public content. We generally do not receive the complete personal data collected by the platform provider or information that directly identifies individual visitors through these aggregated statistics.

Data processed directly by us is deleted when it is no longer required for the relevant communication or purpose and no contractual, statutory or evidentiary reason requires further retention. Data stored by the platform providers is subject to their respective retention rules and account settings.

Social media platform providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Information about international transfers, legal safeguards and available privacy controls can be found in the respective provider's privacy policy.

Data is transmitted only when you actively open the link. From that point onward, the privacy policy of the respective external provider applies.

9. Encrypted Connection

This website uses encrypted HTTPS connections. Encryption helps protect data transmitted between your browser and the website against unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet can guarantee absolute security.
