LIABILITY FOR CONTENT

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with § 7(1) DDG (German Digital Services Act) and general law. Under §§ 8 to 10 DDG, however, we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, or to investigate circumstances that indicate unlawful activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general law remain unaffected. Liability in this respect is only possible from the point at which a concrete infringement becomes known. Upon notification of such violations, we will remove the content concerned without delay.

LIABILITY FOR LINKS

Our site contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We therefore accept no liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking; no unlawful content was apparent. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. Upon notification of violations, we will remove such links without delay.

The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution, and any kind of use beyond the limits of copyright require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this site are permitted for private, non-commercial use only.

DATENSCHUTZERKLÄRUNG (Privacy Policy)

Data controller

Matthias Braun, Kryptonite Radio Theater

Knausstraße 4, 65195 Wiesbaden

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. Use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data is processed, this is done only where necessary and on a valid legal basis.

HOSTING (SQUARESPACE)

This website is hosted on the platform of Squarespace Ireland Limited, Le Pole House, Ship Street Great, Dublin 8, D08 H8RW, Ireland ("Squarespace"). When you visit the site, Squarespace processes personal data on our behalf, including the data described in this policy (in particular server log data, data entered into forms, and analytics data). We have concluded a data processing agreement with Squarespace, which is incorporated into Squarespace's Terms of Service and ensures that your data is processed only in accordance with our instructions and the GDPR. The legal basis for using Squarespace is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the reliable and secure provision of our website.

Squarespace may transfer personal data to its parent company, Squarespace, Inc., in the USA. Squarespace, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, so the transfer takes place on the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR.

AI ASSISTANT (ANTHROPIC/CLAUDE)

We use an AI-based assistant (Claude, provided by Anthropic PBC) internally to help manage the volunteer list and to help handle messages sent to info@kryptoniteradio.com. This covers volunteer sign-ups, replies to our show announcement emails, and messages submitted through our contact form or by email. In doing so, the assistant processes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and the content of your message. We use a standard individual Anthropic account for this; Anthropic's terms for that account type, not a business data processing agreement, govern how Anthropic handles this data on their end. Anthropic's privacy policy is available at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

SERVER LOG FILES

When you access our site, the provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser transmits: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, IP address, and the time of the request. This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free presentation and security of our website.

Our site uses cookies. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the site are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a functioning website). Any cookies that are not strictly necessary are set only with your consent under § 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this site.

SQUARESPACE ANALYTICS

Our hosting provider Squarespace (Squarespace Ireland Limited) provides built-in analytics that help us understand how our website is used, for example the number of visitors, pages viewed, and the general region from which visits originate. For this purpose Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies and processes data such as IP addresses (shortened where possible) and access times. The data is used to evaluate and improve our website and is not used to identify individual visitors personally. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the needs-based design and ongoing improvement of our website. Details of Squarespace's data processing are available in Squarespace's own privacy policy at https://www.squarespace.com/privacy.

NEWSLETTER

If you wish to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address. Registration uses the Double-Opt-In procedure: after signing up, you receive a confirmation email and your subscription becomes active only once you confirm it. We store your IP address and the times of registration and confirmation to document the process. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link in every newsletter; withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.

Our newsletters contain a tracking pixel that allows us to see whether and when a newsletter was opened and which links were clicked. This analysis is carried out on the basis of your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and can be withdrawn at any time via the unsubscribe link.

BLOG COMMENTS

When you comment on our blog, we store your username, the time of the comment, and your IP address. The username and comment are published; the IP address is stored for our security and legal protection in case the comment infringes the rights of third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in defending against legal claims).

CONTACT BY EMAIL OR CONTACT FORM

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the details you provide are stored for the purpose of handling your enquiry and any follow-up questions. Beyond the service providers described elsewhere in this policy, we do not pass this data on without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

We use an AI assistant to help manage this inbox; see AI ASSISTANT (ANTHROPIC/CLAUDE) above.

COORDINATION VIA WHATSAPP

For organisational coordination with participants (rehearsal times, performance logistics, etc.), we use the messenger service WhatsApp, provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Messages and metadata (in particular phone numbers and timestamps) are transmitted to and processed on Meta's servers.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (necessity for performing a cooperation arrangement) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient and timely communication with participants).

The transfer of personal data to the USA takes place on the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR); Meta Platforms is certified under the DPF.

Participants who prefer to be contacted by email may indicate this at any time at info@kryptoniteradio.com.

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP (GET INVOLVED FORM)

Visitors who want to volunteer with us can fill out a sign-up form ("Get Involved"). The form asks for first and last name, email address, an optional phone number, and the jobs the person is interested in (House Management, Tech, Play Readings). Each request is reviewed individually before the person is added as a volunteer. Once added, the volunteer receives a welcome email containing a personal link to their volunteer page. After that, we contact volunteers by email only when a show needs people for their chosen jobs, at most one reminder per show. Volunteers can change their chosen jobs or stop all such emails at any time from their volunteer page.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in organizing volunteer support for our productions).

The form is hosted by Squarespace (see HOSTING (SQUARESPACE) above), which may keep its own copy of submissions. The list of volunteers and pending join requests is stored in a spreadsheet in Google Workspace, a service we control.

We keep a volunteer's data while they remain signed up for at least one job, and delete it 12 months after they untick every job. If a join request is declined, we delete that request's data after 12 months.

We also use an AI assistant to help administer this list; see AI ASSISTANT (ANTHROPIC/CLAUDE) above.

DATA RETENTION

We store personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes stated above or as required by statutory retention periods. Once the purpose ceases and no retention obligation applies, the data is routinely deleted.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process personal data concerning you, and to access that data (Art. 15 GDPR), as well as the rights to rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@kryptoniteradio.com.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority competent for us is:

Der Hessische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit

Postfach 3163, 65021 Wiesbaden

poststelle@datenschutz.hessen.de

AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
