Information pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR

Privacy policy

The protection of your personal data matters to me. The following sets out which data are collected when you visit this site and how they are handled.

1. Controller

Klaus Mendler, M. A.
An der Charlottenburg 8
47804 Krefeld
Germany

Email: klingsor@gmx.net

2. Server log files

Each time the site is accessed, the hosting provider automatically records data in so-called server log files. These typically include:

• Anonymised or shortened IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Requested file and amount of data transferred
• Notification of successful retrieval
• Browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL

These data are processed to ensure stable operation and to improve the site. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The data are not merged with other data sources.

3. Contact by email

If you contact me by email, the data you provide (name, email address, content of the message) are stored in order to handle your enquiry and any follow-up questions. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual or contractual measures) or, where applicable, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding). These data will not be shared without your consent.

4. Cookies

This site does not set its own cookies and does not use any tracking or analytics tools.

5. Fonts and external resources

All fonts used on this site (EB Garamond, Crimson Pro) are served locally from the same server. No connection to Google Fonts or any other external font service takes place. No external JavaScript libraries are loaded from third-party CDNs.

6. Hosting

This site is hosted by [name and address of hosting provider]. A data-processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place.

7. Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal data (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• Object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Withdraw any consent given, with effect for the future

An informal message to the contact details above is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority — in North Rhine-Westphalia, this is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (LDI NRW).

8. Retention

Personal data are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the relevant purpose, or as required by statutory retention obligations (in particular under commercial and tax law).

9. Changes

I will update this policy when legal conditions or the functionality of the site change. The version available at the time of your visit applies.
