2. Accessing the website and hosting

This website is provided through DomainFactory GmbH, c/o WeWork, Neuturmstraße 5, 80331 Munich, Germany. When the website is accessed, technically necessary connection data is processed, including the IP address, time of access, requested address, HTTP status, volume of data transferred and information sent by the browser, such as browser/operating system details and, where applicable, the referring page.

Processing serves to deliver the website, operate it securely, analyse errors and prevent misuse. Where the GDPR applies, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the reliable and secure operation of this website. According to the hosting provider's documentation, Apache access logs are retained for 14 days.

3. Server-side access statistics

AWStats is used in the hosting account to analyse server accesses. The analysis is based on server logs and requires neither an analytics script embedded in the browser nor analytics cookies. Data recorded includes IP addresses, accesses and times, requested pages, referring pages, browser/operating system details and origin information derived from them. In the configuration reviewed, full IP addresses are visible in the reports.

The purpose is to analyse usage and identify unusual accesses. Where the GDPR applies, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR may be relied upon only after a balancing of interests and with due regard to data minimisation. The analysis uses IP addresses and is therefore not anonymous.

The AWStats statistics files for this domain are automatically deleted on the first day of each month. This deletion covers the detailed statistical data accumulated up to that point, including the IP addresses it contains. The hosting provider's 14-day retention of Apache access logs is independent of this.

4. Contact by email or telephone

If you contact me, I process the contact information and content you provide to handle and respond to your enquiry. For contract-related enquiries, where the GDPR applies, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; for other business enquiries, it is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on my interest in responding. Providing data is voluntary. Without the information necessary for your enquiry, I may be unable to process it.

The data is deleted once the enquiry has been resolved and there is no other reason for retention. If a collaboration follows, the applicable statutory retention obligations apply; retention may also be necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Cookies, session storage and external resources

The main pages reviewed do not embed advertising or analytics scripts, external font services, maps or videos. The specified Inter font family is not loaded through Google Fonts on those pages; available system fonts are used for display. Images and page resources are generally served from this domain.

The WordPress emoji test is disabled on public pages. No test results are stored in session storage for this purpose, and no emoji images are loaded from s.w.org. Your browser or operating system displays emojis.

When signing in to website administration, WordPress uses technically necessary login cookies. No login is required simply to read the main pages reviewed.

6. Recipients and processing in Mexico

Technical hosting and email service providers may process data as part of their services. I also handle enquiries in Mexico. The German correspondence address does not mean that all processing takes place exclusively in Germany. Enquiries addressed directly to me are therefore also made available to a controller operating in Mexico.

Where a transfer between separate recipients in different countries falls within the GDPR provisions on international data transfers, the applicable requirements must be met.

7. Your rights

Where the GDPR applies, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, subject to the statutory conditions. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object under Article 21 GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation.

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, particularly in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or the location of the alleged infringement. To contact me, a message to the email address given above is sufficient as a first step.

Where Mexican data protection law applies, you may in particular exercise your rights of access, rectification, cancellation and objection (ARCO), and, where applicable, withdraw consent. Please describe the right concerned and the relevant processing in your request, and provide a way to contact you. Proof of identity or authority to act on someone else's behalf will be requested only to the extent necessary.

8. Changes

Changes to this privacy policy will be published on this page with an updated date.
