Privacy Policy

Summary

• This website sets no cookies and uses no tracking, no analytics and no advertising.
• It loads nothing from third-party servers.
• Your IP address is processed only by the host, Cloudflare, to deliver and protect the site. I do not store IP addresses myself.

Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

There is no data protection officer; one is not required for a private website.

Hosting and delivery by Cloudflare

This website is delivered through Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA). With every page request, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data: your IP address, date and time, the requested address, the amount of data transferred, the status code, the previously visited page (referrer) if your browser sends it, and your browser and operating system (user agent).

The purpose is to deliver the website to you, run it reliably and protect it against attacks and abuse, for example denial-of-service attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest is a working and secure website.

Cloudflare processes this data as a processor under its Data Processing Addendum (Art. 28 GDPR) and deletes it as soon as it is no longer needed for these purposes. I do not analyse server logs and do not store IP addresses myself.

Cloudflare operates data centres worldwide; a transfer to the USA is possible. Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision on 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR). In addition, the contract with Cloudflare includes the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).

The connection to this website is encrypted with TLS (HTTPS).

No cookies, no third-party services

This website sets no cookies. It embeds no third-party content: no fonts from Google Fonts or any other server (this page uses the fonts on your device), no content delivery networks, no maps, videos, social media plugins, captchas or analytics tools. That is why there is no cookie banner.

Storage in your browser

This page remembers the language you chose in your browser's storage (localStorage, entry "ao-lang", content: de, en or fa). The entry stays on your device and is never transmitted. It is strictly necessary to keep the language you chose on your next visit (§ 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG); no consent is required. You can delete it at any time by clearing this domain's site data in your browser.

Your choice between the light and the dark design (entry “ao-scheme”, localStorage) is stored in your own browser only after you click the sun/moon button, is never sent to the server, and can be deleted in your browser settings (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG).

Contact by e-mail

If you e-mail me, I process your address, your name if you give it, and the content of your message to answer your enquiry. If it concerns an application or a possible employment, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (my legitimate interest in answering enquiries). I delete messages once they are dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

My mailbox is operated by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Your e-mail is therefore stored on Google's servers, and a transfer to the USA is possible. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. See Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Your rights

You have the right of access to the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). Just e-mail me.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to it at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for me is: Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-Pfalz, Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, Germany, https://www.datenschutz.rlp.de

No automated decisions

There is no automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide me with data; without the technically necessary processing by Cloudflare, however, the website cannot be accessed.
