2. Hosting & server log files

When you access this website, the hosting provider processes technical data (e.g. IP address, date/time, requested page, browser/OS) to operate the website and defend against attacks.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, stable operation).
Retention: depending on the provider (typically a few days to weeks).

3. Contact form

If you contact me via the contact form, I process the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, subject/details, message) to handle your request and, if necessary, ask follow-up questions. In addition, a ticket code is generated so your request can be clearly assigned.

Processed data

• Master data: name
• Contact data: email address
• Content data: subject/details, message
• Ticket code to assign your request
• Technical metadata: IP address, user agent, referrer (if transmitted)

Purpose of processing

• Handling and answering your request
• Protection against abuse/spam (e.g. rate limiting, security checks)
• Traceable assignment via ticket code

Legal bases

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (request / pre-contractual communication)
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest: security, abuse and spam prevention)

Retention / deletion

• Technical metadata (IP/browser/referrer) is anonymized after 7 days (deleted/set to NULL).
• Contact requests are deleted at the latest after 90 days (depending on processing status).

Note: Please do not send sensitive information (e.g. passwords, tokens, payment data) via the contact form.

4. Cookies / tracking / analytics

I use no tracking and no analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics).

Technically necessary cookies may be set when you use protected areas (e.g. admin/login) to manage sessions. These cookies are required for operation.

5. Recipients / disclosure

Your data is generally not disclosed to third parties unless this is required for hosting/operation or mandated by law.

6. Your rights

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

7. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Typically, the authority in your place of residence or my federal state is responsible.
