SAME PERSON AS IN THE IMPRESSUM. NO DATA PROTECTION OFFICER IS REQUIRED AT THIS SIZE.
Hosting and delivery
This site is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare, Inc. Server logs record IP address, time of request, page requested, referrer and browser string, for security and to keep the service running. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in a functioning, attack-resistant site.
CLOUDFLARE IS A US COMPANY. THE TRANSFER RESTS ON THE EU–US DATA PRIVACY FRAMEWORK AND STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES — SAY SO, DO NOT HIDE IT.
Consent management
Before any advertising or analytics loads, a Google-certified consent platform asks you to choose. Nothing non-essential runs until you agree. Legal basis: § 25 (1) TDDDG together with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the same banner.
THIS PARAGRAPH IS THE ONE THAT MAKES ADSENSE LAWFUL IN THE EU. IT MUST BE TRUE BEFORE THE ADS GO LIVE.
Advertising
With your consent we display advertising through Google AdSense (Google Ireland Limited). Google may set cookies and process your IP address, approximate location, device and browsing behaviour to select ads and measure them. Without consent you see only non-personalised or limited ads. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
Analytics
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages get read. IP addresses are shortened before storage. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. Withdraw consent at any time and collection stops.
Newsletter
The newsletter runs on Buttondown. When you sign up we store your email address and send a confirmation link — nothing is stored as an active subscription until you click it (double opt-in). The confirmation is logged as proof of consent. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
BUTTONDOWN IS US-BASED, SO THE SAME TRANSFER NOTE APPLIES AS FOR CLOUDFLARE.
Contact
If you write to us by email or through the contact form, we keep your message and address only as long as needed to answer it and to meet any retention duty. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(b) or (f) GDPR.
Your rights
You can ask for access (Art. 15), correction (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), portability (Art. 20), and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). Consent can be withdrawn at any time with future effect. You may also complain to a supervisory authority — for us that is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA).
