Reading the website
Delivering a website requires processing connection information such as an IP address, requested resource, request time and browser-related headers. Hosting infrastructure may record this information for delivery, troubleshooting and security. Where such processing is necessary for these purposes, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The supplied site code contains no analytics, advertising pixels, third-party font requests or embedded social widgets. Images, styles and scripts are referenced locally. We do not use this code to build advertising profiles or make automated decisions about readers.
The local research-note tool
Text entered in the Contact page is processed in the memory of your browser to generate a preview. The tool does not submit entries to a server, use cookies or save the note to localStorage. Reloading or leaving the page may discard it, although browser features may retain form state independently.
Choosing Copy writes the prepared text to your system clipboard when your browser allows it. Choosing Download .txt creates a local file. Clipboard contents, browser history and downloaded files are controlled by your device and may remain after you close this site. You can clear or delete them yourself. Neither action sends the note to us.
Email correspondence
If you separately send an email, we receive the details you provide, including your email address, message and attachments. We use them to consider the inquiry, investigate a correction and maintain relevant editorial correspondence. Ordinary inquiries are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; inquiries concerning a potential contract may fall under Article 6(1)(b). Legal obligations may require processing under Article 6(1)(c).
Do not send special-category personal data, payment details or third-party private information. Public research references are preferable to confidential records. We do not publish your contact details as part of a correction without an appropriate basis.
Recipients and international processing
Hosting and email service providers may process technical information or correspondence as necessary to provide their services. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to address legal claims. We do not sell personal data. Where a service involves a transfer outside the European Economic Area, any transfer requiring GDPR safeguards must rely on an applicable adequacy decision or other lawful mechanism, such as standard contractual clauses.
Retention
We keep correspondence only as long as reasonably necessary to handle the matter, preserve a relevant editorial record or satisfy legal obligations. Retention depends on the content and purpose rather than an unlimited default. Technical logs should be limited to the period needed for operational and security purposes. Local notes are not retained by us through the note tool.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable conditions, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of personal data. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests for reasons relating to your situation. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. We may need proportionate information to verify a request.
You may complain to a supervisory authority, including the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, or the authority in your place of residence, work or the alleged infringement.
External links and changes
