PRIVACY POLICY

LAST UPDATED MAY 2025

This Privacy Policy outlines how data is handled on this website. No personal data is actively collected, but certain information may be processed by third-party services necessary for operation.

DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING

The website does not employ cookies, analytics tools, or other tracking technologies. However, the hosting provider may automatically record generic connection data including IP addresses, browser types, and access times for security and operational purposes. This data remains with the hosting service and is governed by their respective privacy policies.

When the contact form is used, the information provided including name, email address, and message content is transmitted to the website owner through email or a backend processing service. This data is used exclusively for response purposes and is not shared with additional parties beyond what is necessary for message delivery.

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), processing of contact form data is based on the user's consent through submission. Server log data is processed under legitimate interest for security and maintenance. Users may withdraw consent or request deletion of their submitted information at any time by contacting the email address provided in this policy.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND DATA TRANSFERS

Essential third-party services including the hosting provider and any email delivery systems may process limited data to facilitate website operation. Where such services operate outside the European Union, appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are implemented to ensure compliance with GDPR requirements regarding international data transfers.

USER RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Users may request access to or deletion of their personal data submitted through the contact form. California residents under the CCPA/CPRA may exercise additional opt-out rights, though no sale or sharing of personal data occurs through this website. Complaints regarding data processing may be directed to the website owner or the relevant data protection authority.

DATA RETENTION PRACTICES

Information submitted through contact forms is retained for a period of six to twelve months unless required longer for ongoing communication. Server log files are maintained according to the retention schedule of the hosting provider, typically ranging from thirty to ninety days.

POLICY UPDATES AND CONTACT INFORMATION

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in processing practices. The "Last Updated" date will be revised accordingly when modifications occur. For any questions or requests regarding personal data, please contact contact@lxne.dev.
