When you post a comment, the message, your nickname, your email address, along with your IP address will be automatically checked by Akismet-plugin who provide anti-spam features to the site. This means that your data will go through their servers.
We will receive this information as well, but since we only use the meta-data to moderate posts if necessary, we do not need it for the long run. Thus we will purge the meta-data frequently.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos [for example Youtube], sound players [for example Soundcloud, Bandcamp], etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

There are also links to other websites and services on this site (such as to labels, band websites, Facebook etc.). Those sites will have their own policies.
We also have Google Analaytics running on the site, which collects web traffic data from our site to Google’s servers. We use the reports generated by Google Analytics to help us figure out how visitors use our site. Google Analytics will use its own cookies to track visitor actions during their visit. We’ve set up Google Analytics to anonymize IP addresses within the service. You may opt-out of Google Analytics’ cookies altogether by, for example, using Google’s opt-out browser addon or by disabling cookies in your browser.
