This page explains how and when your personal data is collected, processed and used when accessing wiki.nanoscopic.de. Basis of all processing are the terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In the following text we use

• “we” for the people managing the website or in GDPR speak: the controller
• “you” for the users accessing the website or in GDPR speak: the data subject

We're not doing anything different than any other website on the planet, but it's only fair we explain it to you.

This text was written to be short and easy to understand by someone who is not a lawyer. If you feel something is not as clear as it should be, please help to improve it (it's a wiki after all).

We have a minimum-collection policy. Aside from essential data required to keep the service running, we are not collecting additional user or tracking data.

Cookies are small text files stored by us inside your browser. This allows us to give your browser a short- and long-term memory.

In general, all cookies we set are necessary to provide functionality on our sites. Details on which cookies are set by DokuWiki are available at Cookies.

Your browser has settings to control which cookies it accepts and for how long it stores them. How to enable cookies.

The web server hosting this site will log each page access. This log will also contain some personal data:

• your IP address
• the referrer (where you came from)
• your browser identification

This information is necessary for legal reasons and to analyse and prevent abuse. This allows us to keep users away who try to crash our server or to have necessary evidence in case of illegal or criminal activity.

Our server logs are automatically deleted after 14 days. We will only keep log files longer when they are needed as evidence during an investigation.

When you edit a page in the wiki, we log the following personal data:

• username
• IP address

This allows us to easily block users who vandalize the wiki. And your username allows us to credit you according to the CC Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license we use on this wiki.

Since posting a comment is technically editing a page, this system will log the same personal data as mentioned before under “Change Logs”.

When you post a comment you need to provide the following data:

• your name (you may be creative here)
• email address (should be your email address if you want to be informed about replies via email)

All other data is optional.

After deletion of data within this Dokuwiki instance, rotating off-line backup files can continue to exist for up to 30 days according to GDPR guidelines.

The GDPR guarantees your right to information about your personal data, as well as your rights to rectification, erasure, and portability (e.g. for transferring data). Furthermore, you have a right to restriction and objection of processing your data.

Feel free to write an email to <rokkitlawnchair-[AT]-gmail-[DOT]-com>, so that we can work out how we can help you.

Of course, you also have a right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory data protection authority.
