Privacy Policy
This site is operated by a German resident and follows GDPR requirements. Last updated June 28, 2026.
Controller
Alain Schlesser, based in Olzheim, Germany. Contact: /contact.
What data I collect
- Information you submit via the contact form (name, email, organisation, message).
- Anonymous, aggregated analytics via Cloudflare Web Analytics — no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no individual visitor profiles. IP addresses are not stored. No Google Analytics.
- Standard web server logs (IP, user-agent, timestamp) processed by Cloudflare (the hosting platform) and retained on their edge network for a short period — typically up to a week — for security and anti-abuse purposes.
How I use it
- Contact form submissions are used only to reply to your inquiry.
- Analytics are used to understand which pages are read and improve the site.
Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)
- Contact form — Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (taking steps prior to a possible engagement) and Art. 6(1)(f) (my legitimate interest in responding to inquiries).
- Analytics — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in understanding aggregate, cookieless usage to improve the site). No cookies are set, so no consent is required.
- Server logs & security — Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating the site securely and preventing abuse).
How long it's kept
Contact form submissions are retained as long as needed to handle the conversation and any resulting engagement. Server logs are managed by Cloudflare and discarded automatically within their retention window (a few days on the current plan tier).
Who sees it
No third-party advertisers. No data brokers. Two processors act on my behalf under GDPR Art. 28: Cloudflare, Inc. (hosting, edge logs, and cookieless analytics) and Resend (delivery of contact-form emails). Each processes data only to provide that service.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, or delete any personal data held about you by writing to me at /contact. You can also complain to your local supervisory authority.
