General data collection
Server log files
When you visit this website, information is automatically transmitted to the website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in so-called log files:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file retrieved
- Website from which access occurs (referrer URL)
- Browser used and, if applicable, your operating system
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The data is automatically deleted after 7 days.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that enable analysis of website usage. You can disable the storage of cookies in your browser settings, although this may limit the functionality of this website.
Contact
If you contact me by email, your details will be stored to process your request and in case of follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual/pre-contractual relationship).
External content and third-party providers
This website may embed content from third-party providers (e.g. Google Maps, YouTube videos). When you access such content, data is transmitted to these services.
Hosting
This website is hosted by Alfahosting GmbH. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.
Contact form
The “Contact Form” plugin by BestWebSoft is used for inquiries via the contact form. The data entered (name, email address, subject, message) is used exclusively to process your inquiry and is not passed on to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).
Comment function
The comment function can be used on articles. This stores your name, email address, and optionally a website URL, as well as your IP address for spam prevention. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Analytics tools
This website evaluates the server access log for traffic measurement, via the “KV Zählung” plugin. Only aggregated figures are stored (e.g. page visited, time, rough browser/operating system type). No script is loaded in the browser, no cookies are set, and no full IP address is stored permanently. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in anonymous traffic measurement); consent is not required for this, so no cookie consent banner is used.
