1. Controller
The controller for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
Dipl.-Ing. Matthias Böttcher Theodor-Storm-Str. 4 29643 Neuenkirchen, Germany Email: mail [at] bearcycles [dot] net2. When you visit this website
When you open a page, we process the access data that arises technically in order to provide the website securely and in working order and to ward off abusive access. This is our legitimate interest; the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We delete this data as soon as it is no longer needed for that purpose. The measure is the prevention and investigation of attacks on this website: such attacks often come to light only after some delay, which is why the data is kept beyond the individual page view. Where it relates to a specific incident, we keep it until that incident has been resolved.
The data is not combined with other sources.
3. Contact form
When you write to us through the form, we process the details you enter there in order to answer your enquiry. Only name, email address and message are required; subject and phone number are optional and merely help us reply more precisely. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the enquiry is directed at a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
To ward off automated submissions we additionally store the IP address and browser identification. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We keep enquiries for as long as they remain relevant for follow-up questions and the business relationship.
4. Build log / project updates
For the mailing list we process your email address and the language in which you signed up. To document your consent we additionally store technical data about your sign-up and your confirmation.
The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We only send once you have confirmed your sign-up using the link in our confirmation email.
We store this data for as long as you remain signed up. After you unsubscribe, we keep the record of your consent only for as long as it is needed to defend against claims.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future — using the unsubscribe link in every email, through the unsubscribe form, or informally by email. The lawfulness of processing carried out up to that point remains unaffected.
5. Cookies
This website sets only those cookies that are technically necessary for its operation. They are stored without consent under Section 25(2) TDDDG. We do not use analytics, marketing or convenience functions.
6. Fonts and embedded content
We serve the fonts used here from our own server. No connection to third-party servers takes place; your IP address is not transmitted to third parties. We do not embed videos, map services or other external content.
7. Recipients
The technical operation of this website is carried out on our behalf by a hosting provider. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with that provider.
Where access from New Zealand occurs in the course of operations, that transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission for New Zealand of 19 December 2012 (2013/65/EU). No additional safeguards are therefore required.
There are no other recipients.
8. Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20).
You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on a legitimate interest (Art. 21 GDPR). You may withdraw consent you have given at any time.
To do so, write to us informally by email.
9. Right to lodge a complaint
You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection of Lower Saxony, Prinzenstraße 5, 30159 Hannover, Germany.
10. Provision of data
You are not obliged to provide personal data. Without the details requested in the contact form and when signing up for the build log, however, we cannot answer your enquiry or send you updates.
