The author of program memory files and sequence files is the person who creates them, not the author of the program. This does not apply to the program’s unchanged factory presets.

Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by STRATO AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, Germany. When the site is accessed, the server automatically stores technical data such as IP address, date and time, page requested, browser and operating system. This is necessary for the secure operation of the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Cookies and statistics

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking services. The only exception is the JCself Strom care page, which only the operator uses (see below).

Fonts

All fonts are served from our own server. No data is transferred to font providers.

JCself Strom

On JCself Strom all visitors hear the same stream of sound. So that we can count how many people are listening right now, and so that no one can make a great many entries in a short time, your browser creates a random identifier in its local storage (localStorage); it also remembers the chosen sound there. The identifier contains no information about you. Our server uses it only as long as it is needed (while you listen and a few seconds after, up to ten minutes after an entry) and then discards it. The identifier stays in your browser until you delete the data stored for this website. Storing it there is strictly necessary so that your listening and your input can take part in the stream, as you wish (Section 25 (2) no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG). Processing on our server is based on our legitimate interest in running the shared stream of sound and protecting it from misuse (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). JCself Strom itself stores no IP addresses; for the server log files, see the section above (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

If you leave a trace, you enter a name and, if you like, a sentence voluntarily. Both are stored only if you expressly agree that your name and sentence may appear publicly: then with the date and time and with a note of which consent text you agreed to, and the trace is shown on JCself Strom right away (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). If you are under 16, you need your parents’ consent for this. The trace stays stored and visible for as long as JCself Strom exists, or until consent is withdrawn. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future; we then delete the trace. A message to the email address above is enough. We delete entries that violate the rights of others or are unlawful; you can report them to the same address. Without consent the name only affects the sound: our server calculates the spots in the fields from it and does not store the name (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is to let the name flow into the sound at your request).

The care page for the traces is meant only for the operator. It sets a session cookie when opened, which expires when the browser is closed.
