Privacy

In short

This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics or tracking and loads no third-party content until you actively ask for it (for example, by pressing play on a video).

Hosting and server log files

We host this website ourselves, on our own server running the Apache web server. No external hosting provider or content delivery network is involved, and all fonts, images and videos are delivered from our server — no data is sent to third parties when you browse the site.

When you visit this website, the server automatically records technical data in log files: your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page or file requested, the amount of data transferred, the referring URL, and your browser type and operating system. We need this data to deliver the website, to keep it secure and stable, and to detect and fix errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of our website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We do not merge this data with other data sources, and we do not use it to identify individual visitors.

Log files are rotated daily and deleted automatically after about two weeks, unless a security incident requires us to keep specific entries for longer to investigate it.

Light and dark mode

This website has a light/dark switch in the top bar. When you use it, your browser stores the word “light” or “dark” under the key “theme” in its local storage, so the site looks the way you chose on your next visit. Nothing is stored until you press the switch, the stored value contains no identifier and never reaches our server, and we cannot recognise you by it. Because this only remembers a setting you asked for, it does not require your consent (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). You can remove it at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Encryption

This website uses TLS encryption (HTTPS) to protect the transfer of data between your browser and our server.

Contact by email or phone

If you contact us, we process your details to handle your enquiry (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR). We delete them once they are no longer required, unless statutory retention obligations apply. Providing this data is not required by law or by contract; without it we simply cannot reply.

YouTube videos

Some project pages contain videos hosted on YouTube. They are only loaded after you click “Play”, using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Once loaded, Google Ireland Ltd. processes data such as your IP address and may transfer it to the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission issued an adequacy decision on 10 July 2023. Legal basis: your consent by clicking play (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG), which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future by reloading the page without clicking play.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, e.g. the State Commissioner for Data Protection Baden-Württemberg. Where we process data on the basis of your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling (Art. 22 GDPR).

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) — which here means the server log files and answering enquiries — you have the right to object to that processing at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or that the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. To object, write to info@skyspirit.com.
