Your personal information is protected

We consider the protection of privacy and personal data to be our primary obligation. We handle the personal data of our users exclusively in accordance with applicable legislation.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When site visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data that is displayed in the comment form as well as the users' IP address and browser user-agent for spam protection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to Gravatar to verify that you are using it. Gravatar's privacy policy can be found at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment has been approved, your profile photo will be publicly displayed along with the content of your comment.

Multimedia

When uploading images to a website, you should avoid uploading images with EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the site can download and view any location data from the images.

Contact forms

To contact us, you can use the contact form on our website. In it you send us information such as first name, last name, email (or phone number). This data will be used exclusively as an opportunity to contact you back and will not be included in any database (advertising emails, newsletter, ai).

Cookies

If you post a comment on our site, you may consent to the storage of your name, email address and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-fill your details again when you post your next comment. These cookies are valid for one year.

If you have an account on our website and log in, we will store temporary cookies to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. These cookies do not contain any personal information and are discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set a number of cookies to store your login details and display settings. Login cookies are valid for two days and display settings for one year. If you choose the "remember" option, your login will be valid for two weeks. When you log out of your account, the cookies are deleted.

When you edit or publish an article, additional cookies will be stored in your browser. These cookies do not contain any personal data and only refer to the ID of the article you have edited. The files are valid for 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves the same as if the visitor had visited another website.

These websites may collect personal data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).

Analytics

This website collects and stores data for marketing and optimization purposes to improve the website. Cookies may be set in your browser.

Without the explicit consent of our users, data collected using Google Analytics (and other technologies - e.g. Google AdWords) will not be used to identify a specific visitor and will not be collected together with other personal data of the pseudonym holder.

How long we keep your data

When adding a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept separate. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any related comments without having to put them on hold for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal data they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information (except for user changes) at any time. Website administrators may also view and edit this information.

We process personal data collected by means of cookies for a period of 5 years.
