Hosting and server logs

The site runs on servers I rent in Germany and Finland.

When you open a page, the web server records your IP address, the time, the requested address, the referring page and your browser's user agent. I need this to deliver the site and to detect and stop attacks. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The logs are deleted after a short time unless they are needed to investigate an incident.

Page-view statistics

Each page you open sends one request to my own statistics service. It stores:

• your IP address
• your browser's full user agent, and the browser, operating system and device type read from it
• the page address, its language and the site name
• the referring website (domain only) and the utm_source and utm_campaign tags of the link you followed, if any
• the time of the visit

I use this to see which pages people read and how they find the site, and to recognise and block abusive traffic such as scrapers and form spam. Legal basis: my legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is not used for advertising or to build profiles of individual visitors.

No cookies, no local storage and no third-party tracking services are involved. The data stays on my servers and is not shared or sold. IP addresses and user agents are deleted after 30 days. The remaining entries no longer point to a person and are kept for long-term statistics.

You can object at any time by email.

Contact form and email

The contact form sends what you enter (name, email address, message and the optional fields), the page language, the page you came from, and the referring website and UTM tags of your visit to my contact system. If you email me instead, the message is stored in my mailbox.

I use this only to answer you and, if we work together, to prepare and carry out the contract. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for knowing how you found the site.

I keep inquiries as long as I need them to handle your request and follow up. If a contract follows, the related records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires.

Fonts and external content

Fonts, images and scripts are served from this site. The pages load nothing from Google, social networks or other third parties. Links to other websites only take effect when you click them.

Your rights

You can ask me which data I hold about you, and have it corrected, deleted, restricted or handed over in a portable format. You can object at any time to processing based on legitimate interest. An email to the address above is enough.

You can also complain to a data protection authority. Mine is the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon, www.aki.ee). You may also contact the authority where you live.
