2. Hosting and delivery
This static website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur,
Germany. When you access the website, technically necessary connection and access data
are processed. This may include the requested page or file, referrer URL, browser type
and version, operating system, device type, access time and IP address.
Processing is necessary to deliver the website and to ensure its security, stability
and technical operation. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest
is the secure and reliable operation of this information service.
According to IONOS, the IP address is anonymised immediately after transmission.
Hosting-related access data is retained only for as long as necessary for operation and
security or as required by law. Data may be retained for longer in an individual case if
this is required to investigate a specific security incident.
3. IONOS Deploy Now visitor statistics
IONOS provides visitor statistics for Deploy Now based on server log files. According
to IONOS, these statistics do not use cookies. They record the referrer, requested page
or file, browser, operating system, device type, access time and an immediately
anonymised IP address. No third-party browser-based analytics software is currently
embedded.
The purpose is statistical analysis and technical optimisation of the website. The
legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is to assess the use and
technical quality of the service in a data-minimising manner.
4. Contact by email
If you contact me by email, the data you provide—such as your email address, name,
message and technical metadata—is processed to respond to your enquiry. Providing this
information is voluntary. Please do not include passwords, access credentials, incident
data or other confidential information in an initial message.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest is handling and
responding to your enquiry. If your enquiry concerns steps prior to entering into a
contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR also applies.
Enquiries are deleted once they have been fully handled and no further retention is
necessary, generally no later than six months after the communication is concluded.
Statutory retention duties, the establishment or defence of legal claims, or steps prior
to or performance of a contract may require longer retention.
5. Processors and recipients
IONOS supports operation of the website and email mailbox as a technical service
provider. Where IONOS processes personal data on my behalf, this takes place under an
agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. Data is disclosed to other recipients only where
necessary to handle an enquiry, required by law or based on your consent. Personal data
is not sold.
IONOS states that the visitor data described here is not transferred to countries
outside the European Union.
6. Cookies and local storage
This website does not set its own cookies or use browser storage for analytics,
advertising or profiling. It uses no Google Analytics, newsletter system, booking
service, captcha, embedded maps, videos or social-media widgets. No consent banner is
therefore displayed at present. Before any such feature is introduced, the required
privacy information and consent controls will be updated.
7. External LinkedIn link
This website contains only a regular link to my LinkedIn profile. No LinkedIn content is
loaded merely by visiting this website. If you open that link, you leave this website;
LinkedIn then processes data under its own responsibility and privacy terms.
