Privacy — Datenschutzerklärung

This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and tracks nobody. That is a deliberate design decision, not an oversight, and it makes this page short.

The short version

This site does not set cookies. It does not run analytics. There is no tracking pixel, no advertising network, no social media button, no embedded video, and no external font service. Nothing you do here is profiled, and nothing is sold.

The one thing that does happen is unavoidable: to send you a page, the server has to receive a request from your device, and it writes that request to a log.

If you are reading this site somewhere where your interest in leaving the country is nobody else's business, note that this page is about what we can see — not about what your own network can see. We cannot protect you from that.

What is processed, and by whom

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc. (San Francisco, USA). When you open a page, GitHub's servers receive and may log:

• your IP address
• the date and time of the request
• the page requested
• the referring page, if any
• your browser and operating system version

We do not receive these logs, cannot search them, and do not combine them with anything else. They exist because delivering a web page requires them.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — the legitimate interest in operating a website that is available and secure.

Transfer outside the EU: GitHub is a US company and hosting involves transfer of that data to the United States. GitHub takes part in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and uses standard contractual clauses. If that matters to you, a VPN or the Tor Browser will keep your IP address out of it.

If you write to us

If you send an email, we receive your address and whatever you put in the message, and we keep it for as long as needed to answer you.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR.

We never pass your message to an employer, an agency, an institute or an authority. That is true whatever else you do, and there is no box that changes it.

The publishing tick

The contact form carries one optional tick box: you may publish this.

If you leave it unticked, we do not publish your message, quote from it, or refer to it on the site. It is used only to check and correct our own pages.

If you tick it, you are giving consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR for us to use what you wrote on this site. When we do:

• we do not publish your name, your email address, or anything else that could identify you or the place you live;
• we may publish only part of what you wrote, or only a figure taken from it, such as a sum you were quoted or how long you waited;
• we may combine it with what other people have told us and publish a count rather than any individual account;
• we decide what is worth publishing, so ticking the box does not mean anything you wrote will appear.

Ticking is entirely voluntary. Nothing is withheld from you if you do not — you get the same answer to the same question either way.

Withdrawing. You may withdraw this consent at any time and for no reason, by writing to the address above, and we will remove the material. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of what was published before you withdrew (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).

Please do not send us other people's details. If your account names someone else — an agent, an official, a classmate — we will not publish that name.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may ask us for access to your data (Art. 15), correction (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and you may object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). Write to the address above.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority. In Germany that is the authority for the federal state in which the controller is established.

Changes

If this site ever adds anything that processes data — a comment form, a newsletter, a statistics tool — this page will be updated before that thing goes live, not after.
