Privacy Policy

The German version of this privacy policy is legally authoritative. This English version is provided for better understanding.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Stephan Buth
Fischergrube 49
23552 Lübeck
Germany

Phone: +49 451 4898422
Email: stephan@thebuth.com

2. Principle of this website

This website is intentionally designed to be data-minimising. In the publicly accessible area, this website itself does not use tracking services, advertising networks, external fonts, external CDN services or embedded third-party content.

This website itself does not analyse user behaviour and does not create user profiles.

3. Hosting and technical access data

This website is hosted by:

IONOS SE
Elgendorfer Straße 57
56410 Montabaur
Germany

When this website is accessed, the hosting provider processes technically necessary access data in order to deliver the website, ensure stable and secure operation and analyse errors. According to IONOS, this may include in particular:

referrer, if transmitted by the browser
requested web page or file
browser type and browser version
operating system used
device type used
time of access
IP address in anonymised form

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable and error-free provision of this website.

According to IONOS, visitor data is anonymised directly when collected, stored for 8 weeks, not passed on to third parties and not transferred to third countries outside the EU. I do not evaluate this data for tracking, advertising or marketing purposes.

A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR exists with the hosting provider.

4. Cookies and local storage

The publicly accessible area of this website itself does not set cookies and does not use local browser storage for tracking, analytics or marketing purposes.

The local admin area is not part of the public online offering and is not provided on the public webspace. If technically necessary session cookies are used in the local XAMPP admin area, this does not affect visitors to the public website.

5. Contact by email

If you contact me by email, I process the data you provide. This may include, in particular, your email address, your name if provided, and the content of your message.

The processing is carried out to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to contractual or pre-contractual communication. In all other cases, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in responding to your request.

The data will be deleted once your request has been finally processed, unless statutory retention obligations or other legitimate reasons for further storage apply.

Please note that email communication may generally involve security risks. Please do not send confidential information by unencrypted email.

6. SSL or TLS encryption

If you access this website via HTTPS, data transmission is encrypted. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in the address bar of your browser and by the lock symbol.

7. No automated decision-making

No automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place on this website.

8. No embedded third-party services

The public area of this website does not embed external services such as analytics tools, maps, videos, social media plugins, external fonts or CDN files. As a result, this website itself does not transmit personal data to such third-party providers when the website is visited.

9. Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, I store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose.

If you make a justified request for deletion or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless statutory retention obligations or other legally permissible reasons for further storage apply.

10. Your rights

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have in particular the right to:

access your stored personal data
rectification of inaccurate data
erasure of your data
restriction of processing
data portability
object to certain processing operations
withdraw consent with effect for the future

You may contact me at any time regarding these rights.

11. Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR

If personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Direct advertising and profiling do not take place on this website.

12. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

For Schleswig-Holstein, the following supervisory authority is particularly responsible:
