In short: When you open this page, the web server logs technically necessary data, including your IP address. Beyond that, I process personal data only if you write to me yourself. This website sets no cookies, embeds no third-party content and does not analyse your behaviour.
The controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR for the processing of personal data on this website is:
Pia Steuck
Stuttgarter Str. 106
70736 Fellbach
Germany
Email: contact@piasteuck.com
No data protection officer has been appointed, as the statutory conditions requiring one are not met.
This website is hosted by an external service provider:
Infomaniak Network AG
Rue Eugène Marziano 25, 1227 Les Acacias (GE), Schweiz
The provider processes the data arising when this website is accessed on my behalf, on the basis of a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. Further information is available in the provider's privacy policy: https://www.infomaniak.com/de/agb/datenschutzrichtlinien
Each time a page is accessed, the web server automatically collects information transmitted by your browser and stores it in what are known as server log files:
This data is not combined with other data sources and is not evaluated for analytics or marketing purposes. It serves solely the technically correct and secure operation of the website. According to the hosting provider, log files are kept for at least 7 days. The observed automatic rotation interval is 30 days.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable and uninterrupted operation of this website.
The provider's data centres are located exclusively in Switzerland and therefore outside the European Union. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Switzerland under Art. 45 GDPR, certifying a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. No additional safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR are therefore required for this transfer.
This website has no contact form. If you contact me at one of the email addresses given, I process the data you send — your email address, your name where you provide it, and the content of your message — solely in order to deal with your enquiry. The data is not passed on to third parties and is not used for advertising. You are under no obligation to provide me with any data. Without a contact address, however, I cannot deal with your request.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
Retention: I keep email correspondence for as long as it is needed to deal with your enquiry and for any later follow-up questions, and beyond that within the scope of statutory retention periods. On request I will delete the correspondence at any time, unless a retention obligation prevents this.
Please note that email may be transmitted unencrypted. You should therefore not send me confidential information by unencrypted email.
This is a purely static website. It stores no information on your device and reads no information stored there. Specifically:
Because no information is stored on or read from your device within the meaning of § 25 TDDDG (the German implementation of the ePrivacy Directive), no consent is required. That is why there is no cookie banner.
This website uses the typeface “Atkinson Hyperlegible”. The font files are served exclusively from the server named above and are not loaded from Google Fonts or any other external provider. Accordingly, no connection to third-party servers is established when you open a page, and your IP address is not transmitted to third parties.
This website contains links to external sites, for instance to GitHub, ORCID or project pages. These links are followed only when you click them; nothing is loaded automatically. Once you follow such a link you leave this website, and the respective provider is responsible for any processing that takes place there. Please consult their information on how they handle your data.
External links carry rel="noopener noreferrer" so that no referrer
information about your point of origin is transmitted to the target site.
For security reasons this website uses TLS encryption, recognisable by
https:// in your browser's address bar. This prevents the data you
transmit to this server from being read by third parties.
You have the following rights against me as controller with regard to your personal data:
An informal message to contact@piasteuck.com is enough to exercise any of these rights.
Independently of this, Art. 77 GDPR gives you the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
I update this privacy policy whenever the legal position or the operation of this website changes — for example when new features are added. The version published here applies to each new visit; the date above shows when it was last changed.
This privacy policy is also available in German. Both versions are equivalent in substance; in the event of any discrepancy, the German version prevails.
