Automatically collected information
The Website records visitor access for statistical purposes.
When visiting the Website:
- The visitor's IP address is processed locally
- The IP address is combined with an internal security flag
- The result is hashed using SHA-256 encryption
- Only the resulting hash is stored
- This site also uses Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent spam. Turnstile may collect some technical data to verify you are human securely. Feel free to check their Privacy Policy.
The stored data is used exclusively to count unique visitors.
The original IP address is never stored, never accessible, and never exposed publicly. Server-side scripts only return the total number of recorded hashes and never disclose individual data.
3. Data Usage
Collected information is used solely to:
- Respond to contact requests
- Maintain basic visitor statistics
Personal data is not sold or shared for commercial purposes.
Personal data may be processed by technical service providers necessary for Website operation.
4. Data Storage and Hosting
The Website is hosted by IONOS.
Contact form submissions and email messages are transmitted via email and stored within a mailbox operated by IONOS.
Data may therefore be processed on infrastructure operated by the email provider strictly for communication purposes.
5. Data Retention
Contact form emails are retained only as long as necessary to respond or maintain communication.
Visitor hash data used for statistics may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individuals.
