We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors and software users.  In this Privacy Policy, we explain how we treat your personal information.

By using our software, websites, services, applications or by otherwise giving us your personal information, you are consenting to our use of your information and accepting the practices described in this Policy.  In some cases, providing information and data is essential for us to provide services.   If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use our software and/ or websites or give us any of your personal information. 

The operative parties referred to in this policy are Company and you, the user of this site and/ or the software.

 

JAMAHOOK AG and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the same including predecessors, successors, and assigns, are the owners, publishers and/ or operators of this and other various websites and/ or software and are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Company.”

 

In the context of the entry into force of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on 25 May 2018, regulations apply which may also be applicable to companies domiciled in Switzerland. We comply with these provisions, which provide in particular that private individuals have more control over their personal data. This results in increased obligations for companies to respect data protection. The most important of these rights are listed below. Further details can be found in the legal basis, which can be accessed via the following link: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj  

 

Right to information (Articles 13 and 14 GDPR) 

Where personal data are collected, the data subjects are to be provided with a range of information regarding the collection of data, in particular what data are collected and for what purpose.

 

Right of access by the data subject (Art. 15 GDPR)

According to the GDPR, the person affected by the data processing is entitled to demand a confirmation that personal data are processed by him or that this is not the case. Where data is processed, the GDPR establishes various rights (e.g. the right to obtain a copy of the data).

 

Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)

The data subject shall have the right to request the controller to rectify any inaccurate personal data concerning him/her without delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

 

Right to erase (“right to be forgotten”) (Art. 17 GDPR) 

The data subject has the right to request that personal data relating to him/her be deleted immediately and the personal data must be deleted immediately if one of the reasons listed in the GDPR applies, for example that the data are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected.

 

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) 

In certain cases, the data subject has the right to require the GDPR to restrict the processing of data. If such a restriction is requested, the data may only be retained, but may no longer be processed.

 

Right of notification (Art. 19 GDPR) 

According to the GDPR, all recipients to whom personal data have been disclosed must be informed of any correction or deletion of personal data or any restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

 

Right to data transferability (Art. 20 GDPR) 

The data subject has the right to receive the data that he has provided in a structured, common and machine-readable format and has the right to transfer this data to another data controller, for example to exchange the service provider. However, this right can only be exercised if the data processing is based on the consent of the data subject or on a contract.

 

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

The data subject shall also have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to certain processing of personal data relating to him or her, including profiling based on these provisions. Subsequently, the data may no longer be processed, unless the data processor can prove compelling reasons for the processing which are worthy of protection and which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for the purposes of such advertising, including profiling in so far as it is related to such direct marketing.

 

Right to waive an automated decision in individual cases (Art. 22 GDPR) 

In addition, the data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effect against him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar manner.

 

Right to be informed of data protection violations (Art. 34 GDPR) 

Should the provisions on the protection of personal data be violated, the person affected by the violation will be informed, provided that this entails a high risk for personal rights and freedoms.

Facebook – JAMAHOOK`s website uses Facebook plugins and the JAMAHOOK Loop & Beat Maker uses the Facebook iOS SDK – both from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Meta Platforms, Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). When you visit our website with such a plugin, a connection to the Facebook servers is established. This transfers to the Facebook server which of our Internet pages you have visited in detail. If you are logged in as a Facebook member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook account. When using the plugin functions (e.g. clicking the “I like” button, posting a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account, which you can prevent by logging out before using the plugin. 

If you are opening our mobile iOS app a connection to the Facebook servers is established. This transfers to the Facebook server device identifiers, device attributes (such as device model and screen dimensions, operating system, OS and app versions, and app package name, mediation platform and SDK versions) and Ad performance information (such as impressions, clicks, placement, and viewability). For more information about Facebook’s collection and use of the data, your rights and ways to protect your privacy, please see Facebook’s Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.

 

Stripe – When purchases are made via our website, we do not store any credit card data ourselves. For the payment process we use the services of the provider STRIPE. The data is transmitted using proven technology. STRIPE is located at 185 Berry Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Information on the handling of the data can be found on the STRIPE website: https://stripe.com/de/privacy.

 

Google Webfonts – In order to present our contents correctly and graphically appealing with all browsers, this website uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by our own server. To avoid that user data are transferred we are loading Google fonts from our own server.

 

In case of a technical defect the following applies: Utilizing script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. this website uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by our own server.

 

When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser memory. To do this, your browser must connect to Google’s servers in the United States. This gives Google the information that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (4) of the 1a f GDPR. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or does not allow access, content will be displayed in a default font.

 

For more information about Google Web Fonts, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq
