This is a personal, non-commercial website. It has no contact forms, comment functions, newsletter sign-ups, user accounts, or any other features that would require you to actively submit personal data. No cookies, tracking scripts, or third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) are used.

4. Data Collected Automatically When Visiting This Website

4.1 Server Log Files

When you access this website, your browser automatically transmits certain technical information to the web server. This information is temporarily stored in server log files. The following data may be recorded:

  • IP address of the requesting device — shortened before it is written to the log, so that the individual device can no longer be identified (for IPv4 the last octet is set to 0, e.g. 192.168.1.0)
  • Date and time of the request
  • URL of the requested resource
  • HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Referring URL (if transmitted by your browser)
  • Browser type and version, operating system (transmitted via the User-Agent header)

Purpose: These logs are used exclusively for the technical operation, error diagnosis, security, and stability of the website.

Retention period: Log files are automatically deleted after a short period (currently 7 days).

IP shortening: IP addresses are shortened at the moment they are logged. Full IP addresses are not stored in the log files.
