Privacy Policy

We are updating our Privacy Policy as part of our GDPR readiness efforts. The level of privacy protection for your information is not changing. Our updated Privacy Policy has been effective since January 4th, 2026.

1. Introduction

This data protection policy explains how LOUNGE-RADIO.COM Association processes personal data when you visit our websites or disclose personal data to us by other means. Privacy protection and personal data security are important matters to us and ones that we take into account in all our processes at all times. As a result, we always treat your personal data confidentially and in compliance with statutory provisions.
We also respect the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (www.coppa.org). Our websites, mobile apps and services are not intended for children under the age of 13. If you believe that we are processing the data of a child under the age of 13, please inform us.

2. Our principles for processing personal data

2.1 How we process personal data

If we process information about you, we will inform you of this data processing, its legal basis, transmission of data to third parties, duration of data storage and your rights. We will do this in comprehensible language in advance or as quickly as possible. We will never process your personal data for any purposes except those for which we collected it from you or for which you have subsequently given your consent. In addition, we will take appropriate measures to verify the accuracy and completeness of data and will not sell or transmit your personal data to third parties by any means without your consent. Our service providers, which help us to operate our website and perform our services and with which we have concluded non-disclosure agreements, are an exception to this rule.

2.2 How we secure your personal data

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. However, transmission over the internet is always at your own risk.

2.3 Transfer to third countries

To ensure the availability of our websites and services, we use back-up systems in the EU and the US to store additional copies of your personal data. In addition, some of our service providers are located in foreign countries, particularly in the US, and so it is possible that your personal data could be transferred to these countries. The EU has determined, however, that the countries in question have appropriate laws to protect your personal data.

2.4 Duration of processing

We process your personal data only for as long as we need it for the stated purpose. If we process your personal data on the basis of your consent, we will stop processing it immediately as soon as you revoke your consent. In other cases, we will erase your personal data after 2 years.
