Privacy policy

This is a translation for convenience. The legally binding version is the German Datenschutzerklärung.

This is a static website. It sets no cookies, embeds no third-party services and runs no analytics. Fonts are served from this server; there is no connection to Google Fonts or any content delivery network.

2. Server log files

When you open this site, the web server automatically records the data your browser sends:

• your IP address
• date and time of the request
• the requested address and the HTTP status code
• the amount of data transferred
• the referring page, if your browser sends one
• browser and operating system identifier (user agent)

An IP address is personal data. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is operating the server, delivering the site and defending against attacks. This data is not combined with other sources and is not evaluated for advertising or analytics.

When log files are rotated each night, the IP address is truncated: the last 8 bits for IPv4, the last 80 bits for IPv6. 93.184.216.34 becomes 93.184.216.0. After that it can no longer be linked to a specific person. Untruncated log data therefore exists for at most 24 hours.

The truncated log files no longer contain personal data and are kept indefinitely for debugging, for defending against attacks, and for access statistics.

3. Hosting

The site runs on a server I operate myself. No external hosting provider acts as a processor with access beyond running the server infrastructure.

4. Encryption

This site is served over TLS only. Requests to http:// are redirected to https://.

5. Contact by email

If you write to me, I process your email address and the content of your message in order to answer it. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where the enquiry concerns a contract, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Your message is kept until the matter is settled and no statutory retention periods apply.

Email is received through Google Workspace (Google Ireland Limited); message content is processed and stored there.

6. No cookies, no tracking

No cookies are set, no local storage is used, no tracking pixels are embedded and no profiles are built. There is therefore no cookie banner.

7. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to

• access the data held about you (Art. 15)
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16)
• erasure (Art. 17)
• restriction of processing (Art. 18)
• data portability (Art. 20)
• object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) (Art. 21)

Please use the address above. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR); the competent authority is the one for the German federal state where my business is registered.
