7. Analytics and Visitor Counting (Statify)

Type and Scope of Processing
We use the privacy-friendly analytics plugin Statify (provided by Pluginkollektiv) on this website. Statify is used solely for the statistical evaluation of visitor numbers and the most popular content on our website.
Unlike many other analytics tools, Statify operates completely without the use of cookies. Furthermore, no personal data, such as your full IP address, browser type, or location, is ever stored in our database. The plugin merely counts anonymous page views and, if applicable, the referring website (referrer). There is no transmission of data to third parties.

Hosting Location and Data Transfers
Our website is hosted on servers located in the United Kingdom (UK). Since Statify processes data locally on our server without collecting personal identifiers, no unsafe third-country data transfers take place. For visitors from the European Union (EU), the transfer of technical infrastructure data to the UK is covered by the EU-UK Adequacy Decision.

Legal Basis
The processing of data is based on our legitimate interest in optimizing, securing, and measuring the reach of our online platform:

  • For visitors from the United Kingdom: Art. 6(1)(f) UK GDPR
  • For visitors from the European Union: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

Storage Period
The anonymous statistical raw data is automatically deleted from our server after a maximum of 30 days. This data is not merged with any other data sources.

8. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party services (such as website analytics or email providers) that process data on our behalf. These providers are required to handle your data in accordance with UK GDPR.

9. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@whitewoodrecordingstudio.com.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
