Yes, both are answered by the same person — but this is how Germans do it. Everything properly sorted. A place for everything. Can't help it.

Privacy Policy

1. General

The protection of your personal data is important to me. Processing of personal data takes place exclusively within the framework of applicable law (GDPR, TMG).

2. Hosting

This website is hosted by:

Hetzner Online GmbH
Industriestr. 25
91710 Gunzenhausen
Germany

A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.

When you visit this website, the server automatically processes so-called server log files. These may include:

IP address (stored in truncated or anonymised form where technically possible)
Date and time of access
Page accessed
Referrer URL
Browser type and version
Operating system

Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the stable and secure provision of the website). Server log data is deleted on a regular basis.

3. Web Analytics with Matomo (self-hosted, cookieless)

This website uses the open-source web analytics software Matomo. The Matomo instance is operated entirely on our own infrastructure at data.donau2space.de — no data is transferred to third parties.

Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in statistical analysis and technical optimisation of the website).

Data collected

Pages visited
Time spent on site
Referrer URL
Browser type and operating system
Screen resolution
Anonymised IP address (IP anonymisation active)

Matomo is operated in cookieless mode on this site. No cookies are set, no personal user profiles are created, and no technical identifiers that could re-identify individual visitors are used. All collected data is automatically deleted after 90 days.

Right to opt out

Matomo respects your browser’s “Do Not Track” (DNT) setting. If DNT is enabled, your visit will not be recorded. You can also opt out of anonymised tracking at any time using the control below.

BreznGEO Plugin — Privacy Notes

Processing by AI providers

When the plugin is operated by users with their own AI API key, content (e.g. post titles and body text) may be transmitted to the AI provider configured by the user (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or xAI) for the purpose of generating meta descriptions and GEO blocks. This data transmission takes place exclusively between the user's WordPress installation and the chosen AI provider. No data is transmitted to the plugin developer or to this website. The privacy policies of the respective AI provider apply.

Crawler log

The plugin can log visits from known AI crawlers. The following is stored: bot name, a SHA-256 hash of the IP address (the original IP is never stored and cannot be reconstructed), the URL visited, and a timestamp. Entries are automatically deleted after 90 days. Data of human visitors is never recorded.

API key storage

API keys entered in the WordPress admin are XOR-encrypted before database storage, using a key derived from the WordPress authentication salts. Keys are never stored in plain text. Alternatively, API keys can be defined directly in wp-config.php — in that case, nothing is stored in the database.

Your Rights

Under applicable law, you have the right at any time to:

Access to your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
Rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
Erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR)
Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
Objection to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

To exercise your rights, an informal message by email is sufficient.
