Your rights under GDPR
You have the right at any time to: access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and objection (Art. 21). You may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Art. 77). Requests are processed within statutory deadlines.
The competent supervisory authority is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
Hosting
This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM - Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. Processing takes place in a data centre in Germany.
In order to deliver the website, the server necessarily processes your IP address when you access it. In the server log files, the IP address is stored only in fully anonymised form, so it cannot be linked to you. The log files also contain in particular the date and time of access, the page requested and the browser identifier (user agent). The log files are deleted after 7 days.
From the anonymised log files, the host compiles aggregated access statistics that only I can access. They do not allow any conclusions about individual visitors.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the secure and stable operation of the website and in evaluating visitor numbers.
A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with ALL-INKL.
