- Hosting and access data (server log files)
You can visit this website without actively providing personal data. When you access our website, the web server automatically stores so-called server log files. These may include:
- IP address
- date and time of the request
- requested page/file
- referrer URL
- browser type/version and operating system
- access status / HTTP status code
- amount of data transferred
Hosting provider:
netcup GmbH (Germany)
The hosting provider processes access data on our behalf (processing under Art. 28 GDPR). Processing is carried out to ensure the secure and stable operation of the website (e.g., troubleshooting, defense against attacks).
Legal basis:
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a secure, stable, and technically functional website).
Storage period:
Server log files are generally stored for no longer than 7 days, unless longer retention is required to investigate security incidents (e.g., misuse or attacks).
- Contacting us
If you contact us (e.g., by email), we process the personal data you provide (e.g., name, email address, message content) in order to respond to your request.
Legal basis:
- Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to a contract or pre-contractual measures
- otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering inquiries)
Storage period:
We delete the data once your inquiry has been finally processed, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
- Cookies and similar technologies
This website itself does not use analytics or marketing tracking.
We may use technically necessary cookies (or similar technologies) that are required for the operation and security of the site (e.g., basic functions). Such cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interests.
Legal basis:
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Please note:
Embedded third-party content (see section 6) may set cookies or use similar technologies. These technologies may access information on your device and may require consent under applicable laws.
You can configure your browser to block cookies or to notify you when cookies are set. Please note that blocking cookies may limit the functionality of the website.
- File downloads (PDFs, app files, code files)
Our website provides files for download (e.g., PDF documents, an Android app file, Arduino/source code or related files).
When you download files, the same server log data described in section 2 may be processed (in particular IP address, time of access, requested file).
Legal basis:
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing downloads and ensuring IT security).
If you install and use an Android app or run code obtained from this website, any processing that may occur on your device is outside our direct control. We do not receive personal data from your device unless you actively provide it to us (e.g., by contacting us).

b) Embedded content (YouTube / SoundCloud)
Our pages may include embedded YouTube videos and embedded SoundCloud players (standard embed code).
When a page with an embedded player is loaded, your browser typically establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In doing so, the provider may receive information such as your IP address, device and browser information, and the page you visited. The provider may also set cookies or use similar technologies and may be able to associate your visit with an existing account if you are logged in with the provider.
Depending on the provider and your settings, personal data may be processed in countries outside the EU/EEA (e.g., the USA). The respective provider is responsible for such processing.
