Data Privacy Policy

My website may be used without entering personal information. Different rules may apply to certain services on my site, however, and are explained separately below. I collect personal information from you (e.g. name, address, email address, telephone number, etc.) in accordance with the provisions of German data protection statutes. Information is considered personal if it can be associated exclusively to a specific natural person. The legal framework for data protection may be found in the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). The provisions below serve to provide information as to the manner, extent and purpose for collecting, using and processing personal information by the provider

Please be aware that data transfer via the internet is subject to security risks and, therefore, complete protection against third-party access to transferred data cannot be ensured.

Storage of IP addresses/External Service Provider

My web server is operated by STRATO GmbH :

What data does STRATO process when someone visits my website?

When visitors visit your website, the IP addresses of these visitors are recorded and stored in log files. We store the IP addresses of visitors to your websites for a maximum of seven days to detect and defend against attacks.

Notes about log files

A web server logs every single access to an element (e.g. an HTML file or an image) within your web presence. Failed or denied access (e.g. due to password protection) is also noted. The server writes in a so-called “log file” from which domain the access is made, at what time and which element (e.g. which page or which image) is accessed. Our server also logs which browser is used to retrieve the item.

For data protection reasons, the hostname or IP address of the client that accesses your website is anonymized in the log files. In the log files, only the entries for the host of the client or, if this cannot be determined, the IP address of the client are anonymized. The format of all other entries does not change.

The first 9 bits of the IP address of the entry are converted into a hash value. For example, the IP address 123.123.123.123 could become the “anonymous” IP address 123.123.122.243. An anonymized IP address remains valid for a maximum of 24 hours. After that, the same initial IP address would become another “anonymous” IP address.

Information, Cancellation, Deletion

On the basis of the Federal Data Protection Act, you may contact me at no cost if you have questions relating to the collection, processing or use of your personal information, if you wish to request the correction, blocking or deletion of the same, or if you wish to cancel explicitly granted consent. Please note that you have the right to have incorrect data corrected or to have personal data deleted, where such claim is not barred by any legal obligation to retain this data.
