This page is needed for German law as the server is located in Germany.

Because it is very unclear (to me) when German law demands an Imprint I
finally decided to create this privacy page.

## Data protection officer

Responsible for the content on this website and the data protection officer
(mainly because of DSGVO (GDPR)) is

## What and which data we collect

We try to collect only minimal data. We do not read or set cookies on our
website -- although we set a local browser setting called `appearance` if
you choose a different website theme (light or dark).

Since Nov 2023 we also set another local setting called `recent` which is
only used once you chose to [share a website to Mastodon](#tootpick).

The data we collect is basically

- your IP address (we do not resolve these addresses to hostnames in our
  logfiles)
- time and date of access
- the base URL of the website that you are coming from (referer)
- your used webbrowser and its operating system
- some more technical data like request size and delivery time

This data is stored in our logfiles, which are used to find errors in our
webservers configuration. I may look into them to find suspicious requests
if the webserver hasn't blocked them yet.

It's purpose is mainly of technical nature to improve our website and the
underlying hard- and software and to gather statistics to have a good view of
which areas our website is viewed the most.

There is no interest in collecting more data from you. We don't create profiles
of our visitors.

The collection of this data is legal as in Article 6 GDPR (1 (f)).

## Statistics

We use [Fathom Analytics](https://usefathom.com/) on our website. They
produce nice [GDPR-compliant](https://usefathom.com/compliance/gdpr-compliant-website-analytics)
statistics.

Currently there is also a snippet active from [Plausible](https://plausible.io/),
which is planned to supersede the statistics integration from Fathom.

## Your right to object (Article 21 GDPR)

<sup>1</sup> The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds
relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of
personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of
[Article 6](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/)(1), including profiling based
on those provisions. <sup>2</sup> The controller shall no longer process the
personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds
for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the
data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

## Tootpick

[Tootpick](https://github.com/Juerd/tootpick) is a single html file that
allows me to put "share on mastodon" links on my website. Once you click that
share link/button you enter the instance's url that you want to use (on which
you have an account) and you will be forwarded to that instance with the link
of the shared article and its title pre-filled.

There is no 3<sup>rd</sup> party that processes your click on the tootpick
button (except the mastodon instance that you send the link). The source of
my used tootpick script can be viewed under <https://oe7drt.com/tootpick.html>.

## The website's sourcecode

Can be [viewed](https://codeberg.org/dominic/oe7drt-website) as a git
repository at codeberg.org.
