3. Hosting

This website is operated by the site owner and run on a server rented from:

netcup

Netcup provides the server infrastructure on which this website is hosted. The provider does not operate, control, or manage the functionality of the website itself. As part of providing the hosting infrastructure, Netcup may process technical data necessary for delivering the website. The server infrastructure is located in Germany.

4. Server Log Files

When this website is accessed, the server automatically records information in server log files. The following information may be collected:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of request
  • Requested URL
  • Referrer URL
  • User agent (browser and operating system)

Purpose of Processing

This information is processed exclusively for technical purposes:

  • maintaining the stability and security of the website
  • detecting and preventing abuse
  • troubleshooting technical issues
  • applying rate limiting or blocking malicious requests

The collected log data is not used to identify individual users or create user profiles.

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests), specifically the interest in operating a secure and reliable website.

Retention

Server logs are automatically deleted after 10 days.

5. Contact via Email

If you contact me via email, the data you provide (e.g. your email address, name, and message) will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request.

Email communication is handled via the service provider Proton AG, Switzerland. I also use SimpleLogin (a service of Proton AG) to manage email aliases and forwarding.

As part of this process, your email address, message content, and technical metadata (e.g. timestamps) may be processed on Proton’s servers.

Switzerland is recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.

Processing is based on:

  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – if your request is related to a contract or commission
  • Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest in responding to inquiries

Retention

Your data will be deleted once it is no longer necessary to process your request, unless legal retention obligations apply.

This website may contain links to external websites.

When clicking such links you leave this website. The privacy policies of those external services apply.

Personal data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties except where required to:

  • operate the hosting infrastructure
  • comply with legal obligations
  • maintain the security and functionality of the website

8. International Users

This website is operated from Germany. If you access the website from outside the European Union, your information may be processed in Germany.

9. Your Rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

  • right of access
  • right to rectification
  • right to erasure
  • right to restriction of processing
  • right to data portability
  • right to object to processing

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Because this website does not maintain user accounts or long-term logs, identifying individual users may not always be possible.
