Privacy Policy

1. Controller

Sven Hanold Falkenweg 27 89129 Langenau Germany Email: svenhanold@me.com

2. General information on data processing

This website is a static information page. No cookies are set, no tracking or analytics services are used, and no data is transmitted to advertising networks. All content, including fonts, is served from my own server; no content is loaded from third-party servers.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted on a self-operated server in Germany. When you visit the site, the web server automatically processes technical information (IP address, date and time of access, requested page, browser type) to the extent technically necessary for delivering the page. This log data is not merged with other data sources and is overwritten after 7 days at the latest. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and stable operation).

4. Contact by email

If you contact me by email (for example via the support button on this website), the information you provide (email address, content of the message) is used exclusively to process your request. The data is not stored in a database and is not passed on to third parties. After the request has been dealt with, the data is deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (processing your request) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

5. The picaroa app

picaroa is a client for self-hosted PicoShare servers. The app connects exclusively to the servers you configure yourself. No data is transmitted to the developer: no analytics, tracking, or advertising services, and no crash reports to third parties. Credentials are stored exclusively locally on your device in the iOS Keychain.

The app is distributed via the Apple App Store. Any purchases or unlocks within the app are processed exclusively through the App Store; the developer does not receive any payment data, only anonymized, aggregated statistics from Apple. Apple’s privacy policy applies in addition.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), and objection (Art. 21 GDPR). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority; the competent authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
