What data is collected

Only what the form asks for

Personal data is collected in one place on this site: the contact form, which asks for a name, an email address, and a message. The form cannot be submitted without consent to processing.

Name
Used only to address the reply, so a message from the association arrives with the right form of address.
Email address
Used to send the answer, and for nothing else. It is not added to any list and not used for further mailings.
Message
The content you write, including any corrections, source links, or questions about the project.
Server logs
The hosting provider may record IP addresses, request times, and browser information as part of normal technical operation, so the site stays reachable and faults can be traced.

Why the data is processed

To answer the message you sent — nothing more.

Form data is processed solely to respond to the message you sent, and to keep a record where the message concerns a published correction. If your note corrects a date, a source, or a statement on this site, that correspondence may be kept so the correction can be traced back to its origin.

Server log data is processed to keep the site available and to detect misuse. Data is not used for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making of any kind, and no profile of your reading or visiting behaviour is built on this site.

Legal basis

Consent, and a real reason to write back

Processing of contact form data rests on the consent you give when submitting the form, and on the association's legitimate interest in answering correspondence. Server log processing rests on the legitimate interest in operating a secure website.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future — a short line to the address above is enough, and no reason has to be given. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that already took place.

Retention

Kept while the matter is open

Contact form records are kept for as long as needed to handle the matter, and are deleted afterwards unless the correspondence relates to a published correction or an ongoing legal matter.

Server logs are retained according to the hosting provider's standard period and are then deleted or anonymised. No backup copy is kept beyond that period, and storage is limited to what the operation of the site requires.

Sharing, cookies and your rights

Where the data goes, and what you can ask for

Each of the four points below is a rule this site follows, written the same way the association writes its project notes: dated, sourced, and separated from anything that is still only a position.

  1. Sharing and transfers

    Data is not sold or shared for marketing purposes. The hosting provider processes data as a service provider under a data processing agreement, which limits the provider to the technical operation of the site. Where correspondence leads to publication, such as a correction, the sender is asked first; personal data is not published without agreement.

  2. Cookies

    This site uses cookies as described in the cookie policy, which is linked in the footer of every page. Where cookies are not strictly necessary for the site to function, they are used only on the basis of consent, which can be changed at any time. The full list of cookies and their purposes sits on the Cookie Policy.

  3. Your rights

    • Request access to the personal data held about you.
    • Have inaccurate data corrected, or erased where no other rule requires it to be kept.
    • Restrict processing while a question about your data is being settled.
    • Receive the data you supplied in a portable, machine-readable format.
    • Object to processing based on the association's legitimate interest.

    Requests go to [email protected] or to Im Webersgarten 25, 54484 Maring-Noviand, Germany.

  4. Complaints

    If you believe your data has been processed unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority for data protection in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. You may also contact the association first so the matter can be addressed directly, which is usually the faster route.

Changes to this policy

The version on this page applies

This policy is updated when the site's data practices change. The current version applies from the date shown on this page. Material changes will be noted on this page rather than announced elsewhere, so a dated record of the policy stays in step with the dated record of the project.

If a change affects how contact form data is used, the note on this page says what changed and from which date, in the same way the project's own updates are published.
