If your confirmation is not received within 48 hours, your registration is automatically deleted from our database. Providing the data mentioned previously is obligatory. You can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.
4.2 When you use the portal, your data may be made accessible to other participants of the portal in line with contract execution (communication and application portal for musicians and institutions). If you apply for an open vacancy as a musician, then we will pass your application on to the publishing institution directly. The institution decides to whom the application is passed within the institution and who performs the assessment of the application. If you publish vacancies as an institution, we will publish your contact details in our portal for registered users. Unregistered users will not obtain any of your personal information.
4.3 The registered institution has the possibility to register selected persons (e.g. musicians from the orchestra) as "evaluators" to view the applications received on the platform. As soon as an institution registers you as an evaluator, you will receive an e-mail from us informing you about the registration. The registration is completed with your consent to the processing of your personal data (first name, last name and e-mail address).

We use the hCaptcha anti-bot service (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on our websites or mobile apps. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a login page or contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI. hCaptcha analysis in the "invisible mode" may take place completely in the background. Website or app visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place if the user is not shown a challenge.
Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (DSGVO): the website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. For more information about hCaptcha and IMI's privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: https://hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://hcaptcha.com/terms.
As a registered user, our portal provides you with the option of linking your profile to content you have on other platforms. For example, at your own discretion, you can include videos or sound files in your profile.
Links are integrated through what are referred to as iframes or HTML5 video tags. When opening these elements, personal data can be passed on to the operators of these platforms. These operators use and save the data of individuals playing back the video for their own purposes. This happens even if you yourself do not have a profile on the respective platform. The individual data-processing operations and their scope differ depending on the operator of the respective platform and are not always easy for us to verify. For details of the collecting and saving of your personal data, as well as the nature, scope and purpose of its use by the operator of the respective platform, please refer to the privacy notices of the respective operator:
