For privacy-related inquiries, users may contact:
2. General Information
The protection of personal data is important to us.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
We process personal data only where this is necessary for the operation and security of this website, where another legal basis applies, or where valid consent has been given.
This Privacy Policy explains which personal data may be processed when users access and use Audio Moods, the purposes for which such processing takes place and the rights available to data subjects.
3. Provision and Hosting of the Website
Audio Moods is created and provided using the Base44 platform.
Base44 services are operated by Wix.com Ltd.
In connection with the technical provision of the website, personal data may be processed by Base44, Wix.com Ltd. and technical service providers or sub-processors used by them.
This may include, in particular:
- IP addresses
- browser and device information
- operating system information
- pages accessed
- date and time of access
- technical log information
- security information
Such processing takes place in order to provide the website securely, reliably and efficiently, identify technical problems, prevent misuse and attacks and maintain the functionality of the service.
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, reliable and technically proper operation of the website.
Where providers process personal data on behalf of the website operator, this may take place on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.
Depending on the infrastructure used by the relevant providers, personal data may also be processed outside the European Economic Area.
Where legally required, appropriate safeguards for international data transfers are used.
4. Server Log Files
When this website is accessed, technical information may automatically be processed in server log files.
Such information may include:
- IP address
- date and time of access
- requested page or file
- amount of data transferred
- referrer URL
- browser type and browser version
- operating system
- device type
- technical error information
- security information
This information is used to deliver the website, ensure technical stability, prevent misuse and investigate security incidents.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and technically reliable provision of Audio Moods.
Data is retained only for as long as necessary for these purposes or as required by applicable statutory retention obligations.
5. Cookies and Comparable Technologies
Audio Moods may use cookies, local storage and comparable technologies.
Technically necessary technologies may be used where they are required for:
- website security
- technical operation
- basic functionality
- storage of privacy preferences
- storage of consent decisions
Where access to or storage of information on a user’s device is strictly necessary, such use is based on Section 25(2) TDDDG.
Where personal data is processed in this context, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR may apply.
Optional technologies, including technologies used for external media, analytics or similar functions, are only activated where the legally required consent has been given.
Where consent is required, the legal bases are Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time through Cookie Settings.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
6. Storage of Consent Decisions
When users make a selection through the privacy or cookie interface, the decision may be stored so that the website can remember the user’s preference.
Information stored for this purpose may include:
- selected consent categories
- time of the decision
- version of the consent configuration
- technical identifier relating to the consent decision
Such storage may also be necessary to demonstrate that legally required consent has been obtained.
The applicable legal bases may include Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, Article 7(1) GDPR and Section 25(2) TDDDG.
7. Spotify Links
Audio Moods contains links to Spotify services, playlists and other Spotify content.
Where a normal external Spotify link is displayed, simply visiting Audio Moods does not in itself require the linked Spotify page or application to be loaded.
A connection to Spotify is established only after the user actively opens the relevant link.
From that point onward, Spotify may process personal data under its own responsibility.
This may include:
- IP address
- device information
- browser information
- usage information
- information associated with an existing Spotify account
The privacy terms of Spotify apply to data processing carried out by Spotify.
8. Embedded Spotify Content
Individual pages of Audio Moods may contain embedded Spotify content.
Where technically implemented through the Audio Moods consent system, embedded external media should only be loaded after the user has consented to the relevant external-media category.
Before such consent is given, a neutral placeholder should be displayed where technically possible and no optional external media connection should be initiated.
After consent, the user’s browser may establish a connection to Spotify.
Spotify may then receive information including:
- IP address
- browser and device information
- the Audio Moods page being viewed
- date and time of access
- interaction information
- existing Spotify cookies or account information
Where consent is required, the legal bases are Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Consent may be withdrawn through Cookie Settings.
Spotify is independently responsible for further processing carried out through its services.
9. Analytics and Statistics Services
Audio Moods does not currently use third-party analytics or advertising tracking services such as:
- Google Analytics
- Meta Pixel
- TikTok Pixel
- Hotjar
- Microsoft Clarity
If analytics, advertising or comparable tracking services are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy must be updated before such services are used.
Where legally required, such services must only be activated after the user has provided the relevant consent.
10. Contact by Email
If users contact Audio Moods by email, the information transmitted with the message is processed.
This may include:
- email address
- name, where provided
- message content
- attachments or other information voluntarily provided
The information is processed in order to handle and respond to the inquiry.
Where an inquiry relates to a potential or existing contractual relationship, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
For other inquiries, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legitimate interest lies in the appropriate handling of communications addressed to Audio Moods.
Information is deleted when the inquiry has been conclusively resolved unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons require further storage.
11. External Links
Audio Moods contains links to websites and online services provided by third parties.
Displaying a normal external link does not ordinarily require personal data to be transmitted to the external provider.
The external service is accessed after the user opens the respective link.
The operator of the external service is independently responsible for any data processing that subsequently takes place.
12. Recipients of Personal Data
Personal data is disclosed to third parties only where this is necessary for the operation of Audio Moods, required by law, supported by a legitimate interest or covered by valid consent.
Potential categories of recipients may include:
- hosting providers
- platform providers
- technical service providers
- infrastructure and security providers
- external media providers after consent
- public authorities where disclosure is legally required
13. Storage Period
Personal data is generally processed only for as long as required for the respective purpose.
After the purpose no longer applies, data is deleted unless statutory retention obligations, limitation periods, evidence requirements or other legitimate reasons require continued storage.
14. Rights of Data Subjects
Within the scope of applicable data protection law, data subjects may in particular have the following rights:
- right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR
- right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR
- right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR

- right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR
- right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR

15. Objection to Processing Based on Legitimate Interests
Where personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, data subjects have the right, subject to the statutory requirements, to object to such processing on grounds relating to their particular situation.
16. Withdrawal of Consent
Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
Consent relating to cookies, external media or other optional technologies can be changed through Cookie Settings.
17. Right to Lodge a Complaint
Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
This may in particular be a supervisory authority in the country of habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
