Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Benjamin Marthiensen
12712 W Lake Houston Pkwy Ste B 8030, 77044 Houston, Texas, USA
Email: code-yollow@web.de

2. General information

I take the protection of your personal data seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations (GDPR, German TDDDG) and this privacy policy.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted with Hostinger, running on a dedicated server (VPS) in an EU data center. The hosting provider automatically collects technical access data in server log files that your browser automatically transmits, including:

• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Page/file accessed
• Referrer URL
• Browser type and operating system

Purpose: This data is technically necessary to deliver the website securely and reliably (error analysis, abuse prevention).
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and trouble-free operation of the website).
Storage period: Typically 7–14 days, then automatically deleted or anonymized.
Recipients: Hostinger as processor (Art. 28 GDPR) under the existing hosting agreement.

4. Web analytics with Umami (self-hosted)

This website uses Umami, an open-source analytics tool operated on a self-hosted server as part of the hosting setup. No data is transmitted to any third party outside this own infrastructure.

According to the vendor, Umami operates without cookies, without reading device information, and anonymizes the collected data; individual visitors are not identified and are not tracked across different websites.
Purpose: Anonymous statistical analysis of visitor numbers and website usage to understand and improve the offering.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in anonymous reach measurement).
Cookies/Consent: Since Umami, as configured, does not set cookies and does not store or read device information, consent under § 25 TDDDG is currently not considered required under prevailing legal interpretation.
Storage period: Raw data is retained for 12 months, then deleted.
Recipients/third countries: No transfer to third parties or third countries, as this is self-hosted on own infrastructure within the EU.

5. Comments / Contact

This website currently does not offer a contact form or comment function. Contact is only possible by email; data submitted this way is used solely to handle your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

6. Affiliate links

No affiliate links are currently active on this website. Should affiliate links be introduced in the future, this privacy policy will be updated before activation with the specific partner programs and their privacy notices.
