Hosting
This website is hosted by Hostfactory, a label of OptimaNet Schweiz AG (Seuzach, Switzerland). According to the provider, its servers are located in Switzerland. When you open a page, the server processes the technical data that every web server needs to deliver it – in particular your IP address, the time of the request, the requested page and information about your browser. The provider may store this data in log files for security purposes.
Hostfactory processes this data on my behalf as a processor and, according to its privacy statement, stores it only as long as it is needed for operation and security.
Language setting (localStorage)
When you switch between English and German, your choice ("en" or "de") is saved in your browser's local storage under the key "lang", so that the next page opens in the same language. This is not a cookie, contains no personal details, is never sent to a server and stays in your browser until you switch the language again or delete the website data in your browser settings.
Contact
This website has no contact form. The e-mail links only open your own e-mail program. If you write to me, your message and your e-mail address are processed by my e-mail provider Hostfactory. I use your message only to reply to you and do not pass it on.
No cookies, analytics or embedded services
This website does not set cookies and does not use analytics, advertising or tracking services. It does not embed external content such as videos, maps or widgets. Fonts, 3D models, icons, images and scripts are part of the website and are loaded from the same server. The screenshots of techelite.ch and Gibbsta on the projects page are such local images – opening the page sends no data to these websites.
Links to other websites
Some pages link to other websites, for example GitHub, techelite.ch, Sketchfab, Creative Commons and three.js. Data is only transferred to these providers when you click such a link; their own privacy policies apply.
Your rights
Under the Swiss Data Protection Act you can request information about your personal data and ask for it to be corrected or deleted. This website itself does not collect personal data, so usually no data about you is stored by me. Questions about the log files of the hosting provider can also be sent to the provider directly.
This privacy policy describes the website as it is built now. If the website changes, this policy will be updated.
