Privacy Policy
1. Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Christian Maier
c/o COCENTER
Koppoldstr. 1
86551 Aichach
Germany
Email: kontakt@christian-maier.com
2. Hosting and technical provision
This website is operated and technically provided via the Lovable platform. When the website is accessed, the hosting infrastructure automatically processes technically necessary information (so-called server log data) transmitted by your browser. This includes in particular:
- IP address of the requesting device
- date and time of access
- page or file accessed
- browser type and version as well as operating system
- referrer URL (previously visited page)
Processing this data is necessary in order to deliver the website, to ensure the stability and security of operations and to analyse technical faults. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure and functional operation of the website). This data is not merged with other data sources.
3. Contact form
If you contact me via the contact form, the data you enter is processed:
- your name
- your email address
- the content of your message
This data is processed exclusively for the purpose of handling and answering your enquiry. Your message is sent by email to kontakt@christian-maier.com. Technical delivery takes place via the email/cloud infrastructure of Lovable. Email is received via a mail service set up for this domain with Apple (iCloud Mail), so that your message arrives in a mailbox there.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures at your request) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).
Data submitted via the contact form is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for handling your enquiry and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
4. Cloudflare Turnstile
To protect the contact form and this website against automated access, spam and misuse, I use Cloudflare Turnstile. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc.
As part of this check, a connection to Cloudflare or challenges.cloudflare.com may be established. In doing so, technical information in particular may be processed, for example:
- IP address
- browser and device information
- technical connection data
- interaction and security signals
- the verification token generated by Turnstile
This information is used to distinguish legitimate human access from automated or abusive access. Where Cloudflare uses technical storage or security mechanisms that are necessary for the security check, this is done exclusively for the stated protection purpose. Turnstile is not used on this website for any advertising or marketing purposes of my own.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in protecting the website, and in particular the contact form, against spam, automated access and misuse.
5. Cookies, tracking and analytics
This website uses no analytics or statistics services, no marketing or advertising technologies, and no local storage for tracking purposes. No user tracking takes place. The only exception is the contact form, where Cloudflare Turnstile is used as a technical security and anti-abuse measure (see section 4); in that context, Cloudflare may use technically necessary storage or security mechanisms.
6. External links (LinkedIn)
This website contains a link to my profile on LinkedIn. When you click the link, you leave this website and data is transmitted to LinkedIn. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company is solely responsible for data processing on LinkedIn. The LinkedIn privacy policy applies: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
7. Storage period
Personal data is stored only for as long as is necessary for the respective processing purpose. Server log data from hosting is deleted or anonymised after a short period. Data from contact enquiries is deleted once the enquiry has been conclusively handled, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.
8. Your rights as a data subject
Under the GDPR you have the following rights:
- right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
- right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
- right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
- right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
- right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
- right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
- right to withdraw consent given (Art. 7(3) GDPR) — withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out up to that point
To exercise your rights, an email to kontakt@christian-maier.com is sufficient.
9. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding the processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent authority is in particular the supervisory authority of the federal state in which you reside, or the authority responsible for me.
10. Status of this privacy policy
This privacy policy is dated September 2026. It will be updated as soon as the actual processing operations on this website change.
