Foreword
This website is operated by a private individual as a hobby project, and does not represent a business or legal entity.
The service is offered exclusively for private use to prevent vandalism.
A data protection statement (privacy notice) is therefore not mandatory.
Important: At no time identifiable or identified personal data will be stored.*
Data Processing
For the functionality of the website, it is assumed that the following data will be collected:
- User's location
- User's IP address
- Type of end device
Location Data:
Location data (also "GPS data") are not stored on the server at any time.*
When accessing the website, there is an optional provision of location data if the user clicks on "Accept".
If this happens, the location is then stored in a session cookie in the user's browser.
This means that the location data is retrievable by the server for 30 minutes and can be compared with location data from so-called "Lost Places".
This is a mutual interest (to write or read an entry in the guestbook).
IP Addresses:
The user's IP address is NOT stored.*
Instead, a checksum (so-called "hash") is created, which subsequently cannot be recalculated.
In the ongoing program, only this checksum is referred to, in order to prevent multiple entries in the guestbook.
The clear IP address is inevitably transmitted to the server with each page call (basic principle of the internet), but is not stored at any time.*
It is not possible to identify a person from the regularly available user data, logs do not exist.*
The checksums are kept for 7 days, then shortened again, and thereafter kept indefinitely.*
Type of End Device:
The type (smartphone, desktop, etc.) is indirectly transmitted to the server so that it can provide a suitable version of the website.
There is no storage or logging.*
Data Transmission
Data transmission to LPGB.net is exclusively encrypted.
An unencrypted connection is not possible and is always rejected.
The connection is made via the DNS service provider "CloudFlare" over European servers.
Data transfer to third countries is possible if the website is visited from a third country.
Here, the responsibility falls on the respective internet provider or DNS server provider within the region.
Rights
The user has the right at any time to object to data processing, data collection, or data storage.*
If they decide to do so, further use of the website is not possible, as it cannot be provided without data.
Requests in this regard can be submitted at any time by email to [email protected] - please refrain from providing personal data without prior request.
Your email address will be kept in accordance with the standard deadlines (that would apply to a business).*
Please also request all further information via the written route.
Repeated note: we are NOT bound by the legal deadlines, rights, and requirements.
LPGB.net is a non-commercial private project of a natural person.
