This information may be necessary to deliver the website, maintain security, identify technical problems and ensure the proper operation of the website.
Depending on the circumstances, the processing is based on the applicable legal provisions of the GDPR, including Art. 6 GDPR.
Hosting and Website Infrastructure
Our website is created and hosted using external technical service providers.
These providers may process technical information necessary to make the website available, maintain its security and provide its functionality.
Where required, appropriate contractual arrangements for the processing of personal data are maintained in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Analytics and Website Measurement
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to evaluate website performance.
This may include information such as pages visited, approximate location, device information, traffic sources, interactions and other usage information.
Google Analytics is intended to help us understand website traffic and improve our website and its content.
Where consent is legally required, analytics technologies are activated only after the visitor has provided the necessary consent. Consent preferences are respected through the applicable consent-management mechanism.

Marketing and Meta Pixel
We may use the Meta Pixel provided by Meta Platforms to measure advertising performance, understand interactions with our website and potentially create or measure audiences for advertising purposes.
Depending on the configuration, information about website visits or interactions may be transmitted to Meta.
Where consent is legally required, the Meta Pixel and related marketing technologies will only be activated after the necessary consent has been provided.
Further processing by Meta is subject to Meta's own privacy policies and terms.
Embedded Content and YouTube
Our website may contain links to or embedded content from third-party platforms such as YouTube.
When embedded third-party content is loaded or interacted with, the relevant provider may process technical information, including information about the user's device or IP address.
Where technically possible and legally required, embedded content involving non-essential data processing will be handled in accordance with the applicable consent settings.
If you follow a normal link to YouTube or another external platform, you leave audio-mg.com and the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

When you interact with BeatStars services, BeatStars may process personal or technical information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
Depending on the transaction and technical setup, information necessary to provide a purchased beat, license or download may be processed by us and/or the relevant third-party provider.

Purchases may involve third-party payment providers such as Stripe and PayPal.
Depending on the payment method selected, the relevant provider may process information necessary to complete and secure the transaction. This can include name, email address, billing information, transaction details and other information required for payment processing.
Payment providers process personal data according to their own privacy policies and terms.
We may receive information necessary to confirm purchases, provide purchased products or licenses, communicate with customers and comply with legal and contractual obligations.

When you purchase or download a beat, license or other digital product, information relating to the transaction may be processed in order to provide the requested product, administer the associated license, maintain purchase records and provide customer support.
Depending on the platform used for the transaction, this information may be processed by BeatStars, payment providers or other service providers involved in completing the transaction.

The specific conditions shown at the time of registration apply.
Social Media
Our website contains links to social media profiles, including Instagram and YouTube.
A normal link does not necessarily transmit personal data to the respective platform merely because the link is displayed on our website.
If you click such a link, you leave audio-mg.com and interact directly with the respective platform. The privacy policy and terms of that provider then apply.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Technically necessary technologies may be used where required for the operation, security or functionality of the website.
