Hosting and Server Logs

When you visit this website, the server may process technical access data such as your IP address, access time, requested URL, referrer, browser type, operating system, and user agent. This data is used to deliver the website, keep it secure, investigate abuse, and maintain reliable operation.

Cookies

This website uses cookies that support sessions, download access, basic visit counting, location-based statistics, and abuse prevention. The cookies may include:

• dlgate.sid for server sessions.
• dlgate.visitor for basic visitor recognition.
• dlgate.sitegeo for location-based site statistics.
• dlgate.track.* for track visit counting.
• dlgate.trackvisit.* for track location statistics.

Download Gate

To unlock downloads, this website may process the selected track ID, unlock status, download request, SoundCloud connection status, SoundCloud follow, like, repost, or comment status where enabled, and an Instagram verification status where enabled. This processing is used to provide the requested download flow and protect it from abuse.

SoundCloud

The website may embed SoundCloud players and may use SoundCloud OAuth to verify support steps. When you use these features, SoundCloud may receive your IP address, browser data, account information, and usage data according to SoundCloud's own terms and privacy policy.

Instagram Verification

If Instagram verification is enabled for a download, the website creates a short-lived, one-time code for the selected track. You send that code in a direct message to the Substance Instagram account. Meta then provides the website with a scoped sender identifier and the requested follow relationship so the website can confirm whether you follow the account. The raw message, Instagram username, and scoped sender identifier are not stored by this website. The one-time code, selected track, follow result, and a cryptographic hash of the browser session are retained only for the short verification period. Meta and Instagram process the direct message under their own terms and privacy policy.

External Platforms

This website links to or interacts with third-party platforms, including SoundCloud, Instagram, Spotify, TikTok, and YouTube. If you open these links or embedded content, the respective provider may process personal data under its own responsibility.

Your Rights

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, or objection where legally applicable. You may also withdraw consent with future effect where processing is based on consent. To exercise your rights, contact message@substancemusic.de.

Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that personal data is processed unlawfully.

Updates

This policy may be updated when website features, legal requirements, or service providers change.
