The use of the files provided for download is at your own risk. We assume no liability for any damages resulting from the download or use of the files. Please ensure that your system is adequately protected before downloading the files. Any claims for damages arising from the use of downloaded content are excluded, except where mandatory legal provisions apply.
We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in such cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for contract conclusion or contract fulfillment.
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to deliver the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. Additionally, the data helps us optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this context, no data is analyzed for marketing purposes.
These purposes also represent our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session ends.
In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that assignment to the calling client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for providing the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.

Google Analytics
To tailor our online offering to your needs, we use the analysis tool Google Analytics from Google Inc. The tracking tool creates pseudonymized user profiles and uses cookies. The following data is collected:
This data is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the EU and other contracting states before transmission.
The information is used to evaluate website usage and generate reports on website activities. The IP addresses are anonymized, and no merging with other Google data takes place.
You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies and thus the collection of data by Google Analytics in your browser through appropriate tools. A suitable plugin can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
To statistically record the use of our website and optimize it for you based on this, we use Google Adwords Conversion Tracking. Google generates a cookie that is stored on your computer if you are redirected to our website via a Google ad.
These cookies do not personally identify you, and they expire after 30 days.
The data collected via Google Conversion Tracking is used to create conversion statistics. Further information on data protection in the context of Google Conversion Tracking is available on the following page: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html
Facebook Tracking Pixel
With your consent, we use the "Visitor Action Pixel" from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") within our online offering. With its help, we can track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, meaning we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, about which we inform you according to our knowledge. Facebook may link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes according to Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. This consent may only be given by users who are over 13 years old. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardians for advice. Please inform us by email at info@musicfox.com if you wish to revoke your consent.
Based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, we use a social plugin from Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) on our website. The integration serves to make our website more personal. You can recognize the plugins by the embedded Facebook logo.
If you visit a page on our website that includes such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server, and the plugin content is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and embedded in the website. Through the plugin, Facebook is informed of the page being accessed by your browser. This information is also transmitted if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not logged into your Facebook account at the time of the page access. This information, including your email address, is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
Facebook can directly assign the visit to our website to your Facebook profile if you are logged into your Facebook account at the time of access. The information generated from any interaction with the plugin, such as clicking on "Like," is also transmitted directly to the Facebook server and processed and stored there. The information may also be published on your Facebook profile. You can prevent this by not being logged into your Facebook account when visiting our website.
You can prevent the loading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, such as the "Facebook Blocker."
