Understanding
This page is intended to inform the users of this website (you) about the nature, scope and purpose of my website and the collection and use of your personal data. I run this website to inform you about some of my private activities and topics I want to share with you. I take your privacy very seriously and treat your personal information confidentially and in accordance with the law. As changes to this privacy policy may be made through new technologies and the continued evolution of this site, I encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically. Definitions of the terms used (eg. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
Who runs this website
This website is a private website run by its author (aka me – Juergen Neumann).
Collecting general information
In general I have absolutely no interest in your personal data. But when you access my website, information of a general nature is automatically recorded. This information includes, for example, the type of web browser used, the operating system used, the sites visited, the amount of data sent in bytes, and the like. The information collected is statistically evaluated and does not allow any conclusions about your person.
What personal data I collect and why I collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site I collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on my site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you have an account and you log in to this site, it will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, it will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Linking
Links from this website to third party websites are provided as a convenience only. The use of such links leads to leaving this website and is at your own responsibility. I assume no liability for the content found there. Despite careful content control I cannot continuously review all of the sites linked to. The presence of any link does not imply my endorsement of the site. The use of any linked website is at the user’s (your) own risk. This also applies to all results that can be obtained by using third-party websites. Users use third party websites in accordance with the terms of use applicable to these websites.
My website may have been linked from another website without my knowledge. I take no responsibility for the presentation, content or any other connection within these third party websites.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so I can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on my website (if any), I also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided to me. You can also request that I erase any personal data I hold about you. This does not include any data I am obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where I send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Revisions and Errata
The information appearing on my website may include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. I cannot promise that any of the materials in this website are accurate, complete, or current. I may change the materials contained on my website at any time without notice and I cannot make any commitment or promise to update the information.
Disclaimer
All information on my website are provided “as is”. I make no warranties, may it be expressed or implied, therefore negate all other warranties. Furthermore, I do not make any representations concerning the accuracy or reliability of the use of the materials on my website or otherwise relating to such materials or any sites linked to this Website.
