About
This website is for private use only. It is not intended for commercial purposes. It is a private blog for publishing thoughts, ideas, and experiences on topics of public discourse.
The website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content I have no influence. Therefore, I accept no responsibility for this external content.
The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. No illegal content was found at the time of linking.
However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If I become aware of any violations of the law, I will remove such links immediately.
Privacy Policy
General information and mandatory information
The website operator does not process personal data beyond the purposes specified in these sections of this privacy policy.
Nevertheless, you have the right to obtain information about your data stored by us at any time by contacting us via email.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
Hosting
Our host collects the following data transmitted by your browser in so-called log files:
IP address, the address of the previously visited website (referrer request header), date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time, content of the request, HTTP status code, amount of data transferred, website from which the request originates, and information about the browser and operating system.
This is necessary to display our website and to ensure stability and security. This corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
There is no tracking and we have no direct access to this data, but only receive an anonymized statistical summary. This includes the address of the previously visited page, the frequency of the pages accessed and the number of unique visitors. We do not combine this data with other data.
We use the following host to provide our website:
GitHub Inc. 88 Colin P Kelly Jr St San Francisco, CA 94107 United States
This is the recipient of your personal data. This corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as we do not have to maintain a server on our premises. The server is located in the USA.
Further information on options for objecting to and removing data from GitHub can be found at: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-policy/github-privacy-statement#github-pages
You have the right to object to the processing. Whether the objection is successful must be determined by weighing up the interests involved.
The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies.
The processing of the data specified in this section is neither required by law nor contractually required. The functionality of the website cannot be guaranteed without processing.
GitHub has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers. These apply to all global activities in which GitHub processes personal data of natural persons in the EU.
