2. Principles of Data Processing

We adhere to the following principles in all data handling activities:

Lawfulness, fairness and transparency: Data is only processed where a lawful basis exists, and users are informed clearly.
Purpose limitation: Data collected for one stated purpose is not repurposed for other uses.
Data minimisation: We collect only what is strictly necessary for the declared purpose.
Accuracy: We take reasonable steps to maintain data accuracy.
Storage limitation: Data is retained no longer than necessary.
Integrity and confidentiality: Appropriate technical and organisational measures protect data from unauthorised access.

3. What Data We Collect

3.1 Contact Form Submissions

When you submit an inquiry via our contact form, we collect your email address and the content of your message. This data is used solely to respond to general inquiries about this site's educational content. We do not use this data for marketing, profiling, or any commercial purpose.

Personal Data

Under GDPR, "personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An email address constitutes personal data. We treat all submitted contact data under strict GDPR principles.

3.2 Technical Log Data

Our hosting infrastructure may automatically log standard server access data, including IP addresses, browser type, referring URLs, and access timestamps. This data is processed solely for the purposes of maintaining server security and diagnosing technical faults. It is not associated with individual user profiles.

4. Cookie Usage

This website uses only essential functional cookies required for basic site operation. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics tools. For a full description of cookie usage, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled without affecting functionality.

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

Processing of contact form data is conducted under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests) — specifically, the legitimate interest of responding to user inquiries about published content. No processing is based on consent other than the optional cookie consent mechanism described in our Cookie Policy.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only for as long as necessary to address the submitted inquiry, and no longer than six months thereafter, unless legal obligations require otherwise. Server log data is retained for a maximum of 90 days for security purposes.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be disclosed to technical service providers (hosting infrastructure) under strict contractual data processing agreements. No data is transferred outside the European Economic Area.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request confirmation of whether we hold data about you and obtain a copy.
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You may request deletion of your data where no compelling legal basis for retention exists.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You may request that processing be restricted in certain circumstances.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. In Bavaria (Germany), this is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA).

To exercise any of the above rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or our operating practices. The date of the most recent update is displayed at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
