Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This is a translation of the German privacy policy. Only the German version is legally binding.

1. Overview

This privacy policy explains which personal data are processed when you visit my website jdede.de (also available at dr-dede.de), for what purposes and on what legal basis. This is a private website without advertising, tracking or analytics services. Terms such as “personal data”, “processing” or “controller” are used as defined in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Controller

Jens Dede
Bürgermeister-Dankers-Str. 6
21640 Horneburg, Germany
Email: internet@jdede.de
Contact form: jdede.de/en/contact.html

No data protection officer has been appointed, as there is no legal obligation to do so.

3. Hosting

This website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. The hosting provider processes the data generated when the website is accessed on my behalf. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place. The servers are located in data centres in Germany.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and reliably.

4. Server log files

Each time the website is accessed, the following data are recorded automatically:

  • IP address of the requesting device

  • date and time of access

  • page or file requested and amount of data transferred

  • whether the request was successful (HTTP status code)

  • referrer URL (the previously visited page)

  • browser type and version, and operating system

These data are used to deliver the website technically and to ensure its stability and security, for example to detect and investigate attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Log files are deleted after 7 days at the latest. Data required to investigate a specific security incident are retained until the incident has been resolved. The data are not combined with other data sources.

5. Cookies

This website uses only technically necessary cookies set by the Joomla content management system, for example a session cookie and a cookie that stores your language selection. These cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. No tracking, analytics or marketing cookies are used.

Storing these cookies is based on Section 25(2) no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), so no consent is required. Where personal data are processed in this context, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can delete or block cookies in your browser at any time. Some features of the website, such as the language selection, may then no longer work as expected.

6. Contact form and email

If you contact me via the contact form or by email, I process the data you provide (name, email address, phone number if given, subject and message) solely to handle your request. Entries made in the contact form are sent to me by email and stored in the website’s database for as long as your request is being handled. Your data are not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in answering requests addressed to me. Your data, including the database entry, are deleted once your request has been fully dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations, in particular under tax law, require otherwise.

7. Links, share buttons and social media profiles

This website contains links to external websites, buttons for sharing content (Facebook, X, LinkedIn) and links to my profiles (including XING, LinkedIn, GitHub, Mastodon, YouTube and Matrix). These are plain links. No data are transferred to these providers when you visit my website. Only when you click a link are you taken to the respective provider’s website, where their privacy policy applies.

8. Fonts and external content

Fonts and all other resources are loaded locally from this website’s server. No connection to third-party servers, such as Google Fonts, is established when a page is loaded.

9. Transfers to third countries

Personal data are not transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.

10. Data security

For security reasons, this website uses TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in your browser’s address bar. In addition, I take appropriate technical and organisational measures pursuant to Art. 32 GDPR to protect your data.

11. Your rights

With regard to your personal data, you have the following rights:

  • access (Art. 15 GDPR)

  • rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

  • withdrawal of consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR)

To exercise these rights, an informal message to the address above is sufficient.

Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR: Where I process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.

Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for me is:
Die Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen (State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony)
Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany
www.lfd.niedersachsen.de

12. Further information

You are not obliged to provide me with any personal data. However, I cannot answer a request without a way to contact you. No automated decision-making, including profiling (Art. 22 GDPR), takes place.

I will update this privacy policy when the website or the legal requirements change. The version published here applies.
