This notice explains, as required by Art. 13 GDPR, what happens to personal data when you open this page. Very little does: no cookies, no login, no forms, no analytics, no advertising.

What this page loads
Fonts, images, stylesheet and the map library sit on the same server as the page. There are no cookies, no analytics, no Google Fonts, no social media widgets. A check in the build holds that in place: if it finds an address pointing at a third-party server, the build stops and publishes nothing.
One exception is registered, and it is the reason for the button on the map: map tiles come from tile.openstreetmap.org, operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. A world map cannot be shipped along. So the map only loads once you ask for it — before that no request goes there, so openstreetmap.org learns nothing about you. Once you click, that server receives your IP address and the map section you chose. The legal basis is your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the attribution below the map points to www.openstreetmap.org.
Hosting and server logs
The page is hosted on GitHub Pages, a service of GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you open it, your browser transmits technically necessary data to their servers, including your IP address, date, time, the address requested, browser type and operating system. GitHub stores this access data in log files. We have no access to it and no way to analyse it.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in delivering the page securely, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The transfer to the USA relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, in which GitHub participates. Details are in GitHub's privacy statement.
Photos
This page carries photos taken along the way. Before publication every image is rewritten, which drops the camera metadata embedded in it — the location among it. Faces and number plates of people who have not agreed are obscured, or the picture stays out. The legal basis for publication is our legitimate interest in reporting, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, and § 23 KunstUrhG where people are recognisable. If you appear on a picture and would rather not, write to jens.laufer@solytics.de — we take it out.
Feed
New entries can be followed as an Atom feed. That is an ordinary file on the same server; we do not learn who fetches it, so no list of addresses comes about.
Contacting us
If you send us an e-mail, we process your details in order to answer. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where the enquiry concerns a possible engagement. We keep the message for as long as it is needed to handle the matter or as long as statutory retention periods apply, then delete it.
Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and the right to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21). You may withdraw a consent at any time. A message to jens.laufer@solytics.de is enough.
You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, Promenade 27, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
