Privacy Policy

Note: This is a machine translation provided for your convenience. The legally binding version is the German one.

Protecting your data is important to us. This website is deliberately designed to be data-efficient: no cookies, no advertising, no sharing with third parties. Fonts and scripts are loaded exclusively from our own server. For anonymous reach measurement, we use a self-hosted, cookieless analytics tool (Umami) — the data remains on our server.

1. Controller

2. Hosting & Server Log Files

This website is operated on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen) in Germany; a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR) is in place with Hetzner. When you access the page, technically necessary access data is stored in server log files:

  • page/file accessed and time of access
  • amount of data transferred and notification of successful retrieval
  • browser type and operating system used
  • IP address

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in secure and stable operation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Log data is stored only as long as necessary for these purposes and is then deleted.

3. Encryption

The website is delivered exclusively encrypted via HTTPS (TLS). Your connection to us is thus protected against eavesdropping.

4. Contact via Email

If you contact us by email, we process your information solely to handle your inquiry (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or f GDPR). The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

5. Cookies and Reach Measurement

We do not use cookies or advertising networks. To improve our offering, we collect anonymous usage statistics with Umami — a data-efficient analytics software that we operate ourselves on our own server (stats.marburger-ki-schmiede.com). The following applies:

  • No cookies are set and no data is stored on your device.
  • No IP addresses are permanently stored and no personal profiles are created.
  • Only aggregated information such as pages visited, approximate region of origin, referral source, and browser and device type is recorded.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a needs-based design of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Since no cookies or comparable techniques are used, no separate consent is required. You may object to reach measurement at any time with effect for the future.

6. Your Rights

You have the right at any time to access (Art. 15), rectify (Art. 16), erase (Art. 17), restrict processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and object to processing (Art. 21). To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address above.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — in Hesse: The Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

7. Embedded YouTube Videos

On the "YouTube" page, we embed videos in enhanced privacy mode (youtube-nocookie.com). A video is only loaded after a click — no data is transmitted to YouTube beforehand. Only upon clicking do you establish a connection to servers of Google Ireland Ltd.; data such as your IP address may be processed. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
