Privacy
This notice is about this website. The Ebbe application runs at a separate address and has its own privacy notice, which you can open from the app.

What this website does not do
This is a static website: your browser fetches a set of files; there is no server-side application and no user account. In particular:
- No cookies are set, either by this site or by a third party. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing for you to consent to (§ 25 TDDDG).
- No third-party content is embedded: no external fonts, maps, videos or social media buttons. The site uses the typeface already provided by your operating system.
- There is no account and no contact form on this website.
- There is no tracking across other websites, no profiling and no recognition beyond a single day. How visits are counted is described below.
The small forecast on the front page is calculated entirely in your browser. The figures you choose are neither transmitted nor stored and disappear when you close the page.
Connection and server logs
To deliver and secure the site, the web server and the upstream infrastructure log in particular your IP address, time, method and requested address, status code, referrer and browser identifier. The logs are used only for delivery, fault diagnosis and attack detection. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
On that basis, conspicuous addresses are blocked automatically and for a limited time — after many failed requests in quick succession, for instance. What is blocked is the address rather than a person, and the block lifts by itself. Technical failures create supplementary error entries; these too are used only for operation, troubleshooting and security.
Access and error logs are deleted after at most 30 days.
Audience measurement
To see whether and which pages are read, Ackee counts the requests. What is recorded is the page requested, the referring address, the time and how long you stayed.
No cookie is set and nothing is stored on or read from your device — which is why § 25 TDDDG does not apply and this website still needs no consent banner. Your IP address is not stored: together with your browser identifier and a random value that changes daily, it goes into a checksum it cannot be recovered from, and which is a different one tomorrow. That is enough to count two requests on the same day as one visit; beyond that day nobody is recognisable.
Ackee runs on servers in Falkenstein, Germany. The operator is responsible for this processing; where third-party infrastructure is used for it, that provider processes the data on the operator’s behalf under Art. 28 GDPR. Nothing is passed to advertising networks or analytics providers.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interest is knowing whether anything on this site is read at all. You may object under Art. 21 GDPR — see below. A browser or extension that blocks the counting script achieves the same immediately, and without telling me.
Hosting
This site is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH on servers in Falkenstein, Germany. The host processes the connection data named above on the operator’s behalf and is a recipient of that data. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the host.
Links out
This site links to the Ebbe application, the source code and the support platforms currently offered. They are ordinary links: nothing is loaded from those providers until you follow one. Their own privacy notice then applies; in particular, they receive your IP address and may process further account or payment data depending on the service. The operator may also receive information made available in the support platform’s dashboard. Ebbe itself receives no payment data.
Recipients, third countries and automation
Recipients are the host named above, any CDN, and the server the audience measurement runs on. Further recipients arise only when you follow an external link.
The processing locations of the infrastructure used are named above; for external links, the respective provider’s information about possible transfers outside the EU or EEA applies. There is no automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR on this website. The temporary blocking of conspicuous addresses described above is not such a decision: it concerns an address rather than a person, and has no legal effect.
Your rights
In particular, you have the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction and portability under Art. 15 to 20 GDPR. Apart from the time-limited logs and the counts described above, this website stores nothing about you; the counts cannot be attributed to you, so an access request will usually confirm that there is no data about you to disclose. The application has its own privacy notice and provides account data export and deletion directly in the account settings. An email to kontakt@ebbe.onl is enough for a request.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR
You may object at any time to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. Processing will then stop unless compelling legitimate grounds or legal claims prevail. Send your objection to kontakt@ebbe.onl.
Changes
If the way this website works changes, I will update this notice and the date shown above.
