2. General principles of data processing

I take the protection of your personal data seriously.

This website uses no cookies, tracking tools, analytics services or advertising services. In particular, no tracking of users' browsing behaviour takes place.

Personal data is processed only where this is necessary for the technical operation and security of the website, or where you voluntarily provide such data.

3. Visiting the website

When you visit this website, a technical connection is established between your device and the web server. In this process, the following data may be processed:

* IP address,

* date and time of access,

* pages or files accessed,

* browser type and operating system,

* where applicable, the website from which you accessed this site (referrer).

This information may be processed by the hosting provider in so-called server log files. Such processing is used solely to ensure the technical availability, stability and security of the website.

I do not analyse this information for advertising, analytics or tracking purposes.

Retention period:
Server log files are automatically deleted after 7 days.

The legal basis for this technically necessary processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of this website.

When you follow such a link, you leave this website. The respective operators of those websites are solely responsible for any processing of personal data that takes place there. Please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Where possible, external content is not loaded automatically when a page is opened, but only following an active action by the user.
