2. Overview
This website provides information on teaching activities and seminar materials. Contact is possible via email links. No user accounts are offered on this site.
3. Hosting & server log files
When you visit this website, the hosting provider may automatically collect data that your browser transmits (server log files), for example:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Requested URL / file
- HTTP status code
- Browser type and version, operating system
- Referrer URL (if transmitted)
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and stable operation of the website). Log data are typically stored for a limited period and then deleted, unless longer retention is required for evidence in security incidents.
4. Contact by email
If you contact me by email (e.g. to request a password for seminar materials), the data you provide (at least your email address and message content) will be processed in order to handle your enquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual / contractual communication in the teaching context) and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). Data will be retained only as long as necessary for the correspondence and any related documentation obligations.
5. Cookies & tracking
This website currently does not use advertising cookies, analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) or social media plugins that set trackers. No consent banner is therefore required for optional tracking. If analytics or other tools are introduced later, this policy will be updated and, where required, consent will be obtained.
6. Fonts
The fonts Syne and IBM Plex Sans are hosted locally with the WordPress theme. No connection to Google Fonts is established for font loading.
7. External links
Links to external sites (e.g. Alma, Springer, LinkedIn, University of Tübingen) lead to third-party offers. Their privacy practices apply once you leave this website.
8. Your rights
Under the GDPR you may have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For Baden-Württemberg this is typically the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (LfDI Baden-Württemberg).
9. Updates
This privacy policy may be updated when the website or legal requirements change. The current version is published on this page.
