Privacy Policy

AXELDJ.IT — Privacy Policy | Last updated: 25 October 2026

Your privacy at AXELDJ.IT

We provide this notice to explain how personal data may be processed when you visit www.axeldj.it, contact AXELDJ (Alessandro Termine), or use the forms and third-party functions available on the website. This notice is intended to provide the information required by Articles 12–14 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where applicable.

Contact for privacy enquiries: info@axeldj.it.
We do not treat an enquiry submitted through the existing website form as automatic registration to a mailing list.

1. Data controller

Alessandro Termine (artist name: AXELDJ)
Berlin, Germany
Website: www.axeldj.it
Email for privacy enquiries and booking: info@axeldj.it.

AXELDJ is the artist identity used for this website. Digital Wave Records and Digital Wave Radio are distinct projects; their processing practices may be covered by separate privacy information on their respective websites.

2. Personal data processed

Depending on how you use this website, the following categories of data may be involved:

  • Technical information: IP address, browser type, operating system, access date and time, requested pages, HTTP status, referrer and other data generated when a website is accessed. Server and hosting logs may include some of this information.
  • Information you provide: name, email address, subject or telephone field, and message content when using the contact form; name and email address when using a simple email submission form.
  • Security-related data: technical data and reCAPTCHA responses generated to help identify automated abuse.
  • Third-party resources: data exchanged with providers when externally hosted scripts, fonts, search features, media, counters or links are used, as explained below.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in an ordinary contact message unless it is necessary for your enquiry.

3. Purposes and legal bases

  • Responding to enquiries, bookings or project requests: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where action is requested before a contract or in connection with a contract; otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to communications).
  • Operating and protecting the website: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, where appropriate, for technical delivery, troubleshooting, maintaining security and preventing abuse.
  • Marketing emails: if a genuine mailing-list function is introduced, it must use an appropriate legal basis, generally a separately requested consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, with a clear withdrawal/unsubscribe mechanism. The currently reviewed website form does not itself implement a mailing-list subscription.
  • Optional tracking, cookies and comparable device access: where consent is required under applicable law, including Section 25 of Germany's TDDDG and, where relevant, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, it must be obtained before the corresponding technology is used.

4. Contact forms and the form labelled “Newsletter”

Messages submitted through the website forms are sent to AXELDJ for review and a possible reply. The data requested depend on the relevant form. Providing the required contact details is necessary for handling a submission; without them, the form may not work.

Important distinction: the version of the website forms reviewed on 25 October 2026 sends a notification message rather than independently creating a marketing subscription or providing a double opt-in process. Sending the form does not, by itself, establish newsletter membership. Any future newsletter programme must have separate subscription information, records of consent where required, and an unsubscribe method.

To request information about a submission or ask for deletion where applicable, contact info@axeldj.it.

5. Third-party services used on website pages

Pages on AXELDJ.IT include or reference some services operated by other providers. Where their resources are loaded by your browser, technical information such as your IP address and browser details may be transmitted to those providers:

  • Google reCAPTCHA: used for spam and abuse prevention in website forms. Google may process technical and interaction data. See Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms.
  • Google Programmable Search Engine: where the site search widget is displayed, Google may process search queries and technical usage information. See Google Privacy Policy.
  • Google Fonts and externally hosted fonts/icons: pages may request design resources from Google or other font/CDN services, which can receive technical connection data.
  • Flag Counter: some pages include an image-based visitor counter served by a third party. Requests to this service may expose IP address and technical information; the provider's own handling of cookies and other identifiers must be checked.
  • Google Maps: some page code references a Google Maps script; its active use and configuration must be checked. Where the script runs, Google may receive technical connection data.
  • Music and social platforms: links to SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and other services take you to separately operated websites. If any external players or media embeds are shown, loading them may transfer data to their providers.

Third-party providers may operate outside Germany or the European Economic Area. Their own privacy notices may apply in addition to this notice.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies, local storage or related technologies may be used by embedded services and security features. Google states that reCAPTCHA may set an _GRECAPTCHA cookie for its security risk analysis. The exact cookie names, lifetimes and purposes across the site can depend on the deployed services and must be assessed using an up-to-date scan of the live website.

Strictly necessary technical storage can be treated differently from optional analytics, marketing or other non-essential tracking. Where the law requires consent, optional technologies must not be activated before valid consent; this policy is not a replacement for an appropriate cookie choice mechanism.

You can manage or delete existing cookies using your browser settings, although blocking necessary features may affect website functions. To ask about the website's deployed tracking services, email info@axeldj.it.

7. Recipients and international transfers

Data may be processed by the website hosting provider, the service used to deliver website email, and other technical providers when necessary to provide the relevant service. Access should be limited to what is necessary for each function. Additional details about relevant recipients and the services involved may be requested at info@axeldj.it.

Where data are transferred outside the EEA, such transfers require a lawful transfer mechanism, such as an applicable adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards under Chapter V GDPR. Please contact us to request further information concerning the safeguards applicable to a particular service.

8. Retention of personal data

Contact messages should be held only for the time needed to respond, manage relevant correspondence or contractual matters, or meet applicable legal obligations. Technical logs should be retained only for the period needed for security and operation, subject to the hosting provider's configuration. When there is no continuing lawful purpose, data should be erased or anonymised. Retention depends on the type and purpose of the record, the technical configuration of the service and any applicable legal obligations.

9. Your data protection rights

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of processing, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, or to object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

To exercise your rights, write to info@axeldj.it. You may also lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. For Berlin, see the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

10. Security and automated checks

Website interactions use HTTPS. Security and anti-spam checks may be automated (for example, through reCAPTCHA), but the contact form is not intended to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects about individuals. No security system can guarantee absolute protection, and safeguards must be reviewed as the website and hosting services change.

AXELDJ.IT links to independently operated websites, including music platforms, social networks, labels and radio services. Once you follow an external link, that provider's privacy practices and terms are distinct from this notice.

12. Updates and contact

This policy may be updated to reflect changes in actual technical services, website functionality and legal requirements. The revision date at the top of this page indicates the latest version.
