Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Who is responsible

This website and the DJ Artus members area are run by Ralf Pietrowski (DJ Artus), Dublin, Ireland. For any privacy question or request, write to ralf.pietrowski@googlemail.com.

Visiting the website

The website is hosted on Cloudflare. When you open a page, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the requested page so the site can be delivered and protected against abuse. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

The homepage embeds music videos from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). YouTube (Google) only receives data once you start a video. Links to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Ko-fi and other platforms take you to services with their own privacy policies.

Members area

If you use the members area, we process only what is needed to give paying members access:

• Sign-in with Google: we receive your Google account identifier and your verified email address. We do not receive your password, contacts or any other Google data.
• Membership payments via Ko-fi: Ko-fi processes your payment. Ko-fi sends us the email address used for the payment, the membership tier, amount, currency, payment time and Ko-fi's message and transaction IDs. We never see your card or bank details.
• Session cookie: after you sign in, a strictly necessary cookie keeps you logged in for up to seven days. It contains no personal data; only a hashed version is stored on our side. Signing out ends the session.
• Access records: if a payment is refunded, we may note a suspension with a short reason.

We use this data only to check whether you have an active membership and to play the music and videos included in it. We do not sell it, share it for marketing or use it for profiling.

Legal basis

We process members' data to provide the membership you signed up for (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to keep the service secure and keep payment records (Art. 6(1)(c) and (f) GDPR).

Service providers

• Cloudflare, Inc. – hosting, database and private media storage (data stored in Western Europe where available).
• Google – sign-in.
• Ko-fi Labs Ltd – memberships and payments.

These providers may process data outside the EU under the safeguards they offer, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep data

Account and payment records are kept while your membership exists and afterwards for as long as needed for accounting and legal obligations. You can ask us to delete your account at any time; records we must keep by law are kept until that obligation ends.

If sign-in, access or playback fails, we record the time, the page and the reason, plus your email address if you were signed in, so we can help you. These error records are deleted after 30 days.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent. Email us at the address above. You can also complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with an updated date.
