3. Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by Contabo GmbH, Welfenstraße 22, 81541 Munich, Germany.
When you access the website, the following data in particular may be processed in server log files:
- IP address;
- date and time of access;

- referrer URL;
- browser type and version;
- operating system;
- hostname of the accessing device;
- HTTP status code;
- volume of data transferred.
This data is processed to provide the website technically and to ensure its security, stability and functionality.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is the secure and technically reliable operation of this website.
The hosting provider processes the data on my behalf under an agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, insofar as required by law.
Server logs are normally retained for up to one month, unless a security incident or statutory retention obligation requires longer storage.
4. SSL or TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address bar beginning with “https://”.
Encryption prevents third parties from easily reading data that you transmit to this website.
5. Contact form
If you use the contact form, the following data in particular is processed:
- email address or Telegram username;
- content of your enquiry;
- a website address, if you include one in your message;
- date and time of submission;
- technically necessary connection data.
The data is processed to handle your enquiry and communicate with you. An anti-spam check examines a hidden field and rejects automated submissions that fill it in. The hidden field is not forwarded with your enquiry.
If your enquiry concerns entering into or performing a contract, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Other enquiries are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is the proper handling of incoming enquiries.
The data is deleted once your enquiry has been fully dealt with and there are no statutory retention obligations or other legitimate grounds for further storage.
If the enquiry leads to a contractual relationship, data relevant for business and tax purposes may be retained for the statutory retention periods.
6. Contact by email or telephone
If you contact me by email or telephone, your information, including the contact details provided, is processed to handle your enquiry.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if the enquiry serves to prepare or perform a contract. Other enquiries are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Please note that unencrypted email communication may involve security risks.
7. Telegram delivery and replies
When you submit the contact form, the website uses a Telegram bot to deliver your message and reply contact to my Telegram chat. This delivery also occurs when you provide an email address as your reply contact. If you provide a Telegram username, I may reply via Telegram.
Telegram processes personal data under its own responsibility. Processing outside the European Union or the European Economic Area cannot be ruled out.

Playing locally embedded videos or loading local fonts does not automatically establish a connection to YouTube, Vimeo or Google Fonts.

Transfers take place only under the conditions of Articles 44 et seq. GDPR. These include, in particular, an adequacy decision by the European Commission, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or a statutory exception.
Despite these safeguards, when data is processed in third countries, access to personal data by local authorities cannot be ruled out in every case.

The data is then deleted unless statutory retention obligations, legitimate interests or ongoing legal claims require further storage.
