    Hosting via Cloudflare Pages

    This website is hosted via Cloudflare Pages. Provider: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

    When you access this website, Cloudflare may process technically necessary data, including:

    • IP address
    • date and time of access
    • requested URL
    • browser and device information
    • technical security and network data

    Processing is carried out to provide, secure, and stabilize the website. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of the website.

    Cloudflare may also process data outside the European Union. According to Cloudflare, such transfers are based on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

    SSL/TLS Encryption

    This website is delivered via HTTPS. This encrypts the connection between your browser and the website.

    Consent Management and Privacy Settings

    Optional services such as Google Analytics or Google advertising services are loaded only after your prior consent.

    You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by using the "Privacy Settings" link in the footer.

    Technically necessary processing required for the operation, security, and delivery of the website may take place without consent.

    Google Analytics 4

    This website uses Google Analytics 4 if you have given your consent. Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

    Google Analytics helps understand how visitors use this website. This allows content, loading times, and user experience to be improved.

    Google Analytics is loaded only after your prior consent. Without your consent, no Google Analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is transmitted to Google.

    Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id>. These cookies are used to statistically evaluate visits and sessions.

    Google Analytics does not permanently store individual IP addresses for EU users according to Google. IP addresses may be used briefly to derive technical information such as location data and then discarded.

    Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

    You can withdraw your consent at any time via the Privacy Settings. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking here: Google Analytics Opt-Out.

    Google Data-Sharing-Settings / Operator Confirmation

    As the operator of this website, I have submitted the Data-Sharing-Settings confirmation in the Google Analytics 4 admin interface. The confirmation reads:

    "I confirm that I have the end-user permissions/rights required to disclose information collected from the end user, including any data linking such information with the visitor information collected by my website and/or app property in Google Analytics."

    The confirmation was submitted on 22.06.2026 for the Google Analytics 4 property G-D2WF57J6YC.

    This confirmation allows Google to link data collected under end-user consent from this website property with data from other Google services — provided the respective end users have given their consent to the corresponding processing. The confirmation does not replace end-user consent; it documents the operator's authorisation to enable data linking with Google.

    Processing continues to be based solely on the legal grounds explained in the respective sections (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR for non-technically-necessary processing).

    Google Consent Mode v2

    Where technically implemented, Google Consent Mode v2 is used for Google services. Consent states are transmitted to Google so that Google tags can be controlled according to your choices.

    Relevant consent signals include:

    • analytics_storage
    • ad_storage
    • ad_user_data
    • ad_personalization

    By default, these signals must be set to "denied" for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland until the respective consent has been given.

    Cloudflare Web Analytics / RUM

    This website may use Cloudflare Web Analytics or Real User Monitoring to evaluate technical performance data such as loading times, Core Web Vitals, browser types, and device information.

    Cloudflare states that Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use browser cookies. However, technical data such as IP address, URL, timestamp, browser, and device information may still be processed.

    Processing is used for performance measurement, error analysis, and technical optimization of the website.

    More information: Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

    Google AdSense / Google Advertising Services

    This website is intended to use Google AdSense and other Google advertising services to display ads and financially support the operation of the website.

    Google advertising services are loaded only once the website has been approved for them, a suitable consent solution is active and the required consent signals are correctly transmitted to Google. As long as these requirements are not met, no AdSense or Google Ads scripts will be loaded.

    For personalized ads in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) with IAB TCF support is required. It will be deployed once Google advertising services are actively enabled. Through the consent notice, users can accept, reject, or manage individual options.

    Depending on consent given or not given, personalized or non-personalized ads may be displayed:

    • With consent: Google and its partners show personalized advertising based on your interests, browsing history, and further profile information.
    • Without corresponding consent: Google may still serve contextually relevant ads based on the content you are currently viewing — without personalized targeting.

    Google and its partners may use various technologies for this purpose, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, similar technologies, and local storage technologies (e.g. browser storage APIs), to deliver ads, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and enable the personalization described above.

    Your selection made through the consent notice can usually be changed later via the Privacy Settings in the footer or the consent settings of the CMP, provided the platform offers this.

    Legal basis: your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. More information about Google's advertising technologies and data use can be found in How Google uses data from partner sites and apps and the Google Privacy Policy.

    Affiliate Links / Partner Programs

    This website may contain affiliate links. If you purchase a product or book a service through such a link, the operator may receive a commission. This does not result in additional costs for you.

    Affiliate links are marked in the relevant article or directly at the link as advertising, sponsored content, or affiliate links.

    When you click an affiliate link, data may be transmitted to the respective partner provider, for example:

    • IP address
    • time of click
    • referrer URL
    • browser and device information

    The respective provider is responsible for further data processing.

    Contact by Email

    If you contact us by email, the data you provide will be processed to handle your request.

    This may include:

    • your email address
    • your name, if provided
    • the content of your message
    • technical email metadata

    Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR may also apply.

    The data will be deleted once the request has been fully handled and no statutory retention obligations apply.

    Storage Period

    Personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations.

    Consent settings are stored so that your choices can be respected. Analytics and advertising data are processed according to the settings and retention periods of the respective providers.

    International Data Transfers

    When using services such as Cloudflare or Google, processing of personal data outside the European Union, particularly in the United States, cannot be excluded.

    Where required, providers rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or certifications under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

    A complete exclusion of international data processing cannot be guaranteed when internationally operating providers are used.

    Your Rights

    Under the GDPR, you have the following rights in particular:

    • right of access under Art. 15 GDPR
    • right to rectification under Art. 16 GDPR
    • right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR
    • right to restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR
    • right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR
    • right to object under Art. 21 GDPR
    • right to withdraw consent under Art. 7(3) GDPR

    To exercise your rights, contact: macmini-ai.lifter912@silomails.com

    No Automated Decision-Making

    No solely automated decision-making takes place that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

    No Data Protection Officer

    According to the current assessment, no data protection officer is required. If the nature or scope of data processing changes significantly, this will be reassessed.

    Supervisory Authority

    You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

    Competent supervisory authority:

    The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Access to Information Brandenburg

    Stahnsdorfer Damm 77

    14532 Kleinmachnow
