2. Server Log Files

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted by your internet browser to us or to our web space provider. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the internet connection from which our website is used are collected.

The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data will be excluded from deletion in whole or in part until the final clarification of an incident.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

The website does not use traditional cookies.

However, we use Local Storage (a modern browser feature similar to cookies) to cache blog posts for 24 hours. This improves website performance and reduces the number of requests to our server. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us or third parties for tracking purposes.

4. External Script from Gumroad

The website integrates Gumroad, a platform for selling digital products. To protect your privacy, the Gumroad script is not loaded automatically when you visit this website.

The script is only loaded on demand when you explicitly click on a product link (e.g., "Get it"). Only at that moment will a connection to Gumroad be established and your IP address transmitted to Gumroad to display the product overlay.

Provider: Gumroad, Inc.
Location: United States

When the script loads (after your interaction), the following applies:

  • Gumroad receives the IP address and technical request data.
  • Data is transferred to servers in the United States.
  • This may involve a lower level of data protection than within the EU.

The script is loaded based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual performance/pre-contractual measures) as you explicitly request the product information by clicking. For detailed information, see Gumroad’s own privacy policy at https://gumroad.com/privacy.

5. External Services & Links

The website contains links to third-party platforms, including:

  • Medium
  • Substack
  • Gumroad (besides the script)
  • Twitter/X
  • YouTube

These links do not load external content automatically. When clicking a link, the privacy policy of the respective service applies.

6. Contact by Email

If visitors contact the operator by email, the provided data (email address, name if given, and message content) is processed solely for the purpose of responding.

Legal basis:

  • Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR when related to contractual or pre-contractual matters
  • Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for general inquiries

Data will not be shared with third parties unless legally required.

7. Data Storage

  • Technical server logs are stored temporarily and deleted by the hosting provider according to standard retention schedules.
  • Email communication is stored only as long as necessary to handle the request or meet legal obligations.
  • No additional personal data is stored or processed.

8. Hosting

The website is hosted on servers located in Germany.
Standard security measures and technical safeguards are applied by the hosting provider.

9. Rights of Data Subjects

Visitors may exercise the following rights under the GDPR:

  • Right of access (Art. 15)
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16)
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17)
  • Right to restriction (Art. 18)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20)
  • Right to object (Art. 21)
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77)

Requests may be sent to the email address listed above.

10. Security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place to protect data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. The site processes only minimal personal data and does not run tracking or analytics tools.

11. Updates to This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy will be updated when technical, legal, or operational changes require it.
