Privacy

In short

Modellbau Diorama is a static website. There are no comments, no forms, no accounts, no newsletter and no embedded services such as videos, maps or social media buttons. This site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. Fonts and code are served from the same server as the site itself. The only exception is the audience measurement’s counting script, which is served from statistik.egis-datenbankarchiv.de (see below).

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted by 1blu GmbH, Riedemannweg 60, 13627 Berlin, Germany. With every request, the server automatically logs your IP address, date and time, the requested address, the referring page, your browser identification and the status code. This is necessary to deliver the site and to detect attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; my legitimate interest is secure and reliable operation. I do not use these logs to measure traffic. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with 1blu. Logs containing full IP addresses are rotated automatically by 1blu. IP addresses kept for longer are truncated and can then no longer be attributed to a specific person.

Cloudflare

Name resolution (DNS) for modellbau-diorama.de is provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare also relays requests to the server and protects the site against attacks, processing your IP address and technical request data. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; transfers to the USA rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision of July 10, 2023. A data processing agreement is in place with Cloudflare.

Images from hobbyzone-alpha.com

The photographs on this site are not stored here but loaded directly from hobbyzone-alpha.com. Your browser requests them from there and transmits your IP address, browser identification and the address of this page. hobbyzone-alpha.com belongs to the same controller and also runs on 1blu and Cloudflare. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is keeping each image in one place only. The main site has its own privacy policy.

Audience measurement

To count page views I use GoatCounter on my own server in Germany. It records the page viewed, the referring page, screen size, browser, operating system and the country derived from the IP address. The IP address itself is not stored, no cookies are set and nothing is stored in your browser; visits are not linked to each other. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; my legitimate interest is knowing which reports are read.

Contact by email

If you email me, I process your address and the content of your message in order to reply. Email is hosted by 1blu. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. I delete the message once the matter is settled and no retention obligation applies.

Links to other sites

If you follow a link to another website, that site's privacy policy applies.

Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). An email to info@modellbau-diorama.de is enough.

You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2-4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.
