2. Accessing this site

2.1 Host provider

Data processor: Hetzner Online GmbH with servers within Germany/Finland. When visiting the site, the following data is stored in the host provider's log files:
  • Anonymized IP address
  • Browser
  • Date and time of visit
  • Operating system
From the provider's FAQ:
At the web server level, this happens by default by storing an IP address 123.123.123.XXX in the log file instead of the visitor's actual IP address, for example, 123.123.123.123. The XXX is a random value between 1 and 254, so it is no longer possible to establish the true identity of the visitor.
Purposes of processing:
  • Ensuring the function of the website
  • Traceability and protection against attacks
  • Legitimate interest based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
Data is stored for:14 days in encrypted backups**.

  • Browser and system information (derived from User-Agent header or HTTP client hints; the original headers are not stored)
  • Screen size
  • Country and region name derived from the IP address
From the provider's Privacy policy:
No personal information (such as IP address) is collected. A hash of the IP address, User-Agent, and a random number (“salt”) is kept in the process memory for 8 hours to identify a browsing session, and is never stored to disk.
