2. Data protection officer

There is no legal obligation to appoint a data protection officer for our operation (§ 38 BDSG: only required from 20 persons constantly engaged in processing personal data). For all data protection questions, please contact the controller named above directly.

3. General notes

We take the protection of your personal data seriously. Personal data is collected only to the extent necessary to answer your inquiry (principle of data minimisation, Art. 5 (1)(c) GDPR). Sharing with third parties occurs only in the cases described below.

This website is used exclusively to present our dogs Amadeus and Mila. There is no sales, no online contract conclusion and no payment processing; accordingly no contract or payment data is collected.

4. Provision of the website (server log files)

When you access our website, our hosting provider automatically collects the following information transmitted by your browser:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Requested resource (URL)
  • HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transmitted
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL

In addition, the website records reach events (page view, scroll depth, visible reading time, page-leave) via server-side 1×1-pixel beacons (/t/spacer-*.gif). These events are linked via a random, session-local identifier in the browser’s sessionStorage, which is discarded automatically at the latest when the browser tab is closed. The data does not leave our server. Retention and anonymisation as below.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Legitimate interest in a technically error-free provision of the website, in IT security (detection and defence against attacks) and in the creation of anonymised visitor statistics from server log files.

Retention: Personal log data (in particular the IP address) is automatically anonymised after 14 days; the remaining anonymous log records are deleted in full after a maximum of 90 days. This data is not merged with other data sources.

There is also no transmission to third parties for marketing or audience-analysis purposes.

7. Contact via contact form, email or phone

Contact form at /contact/: when you click »Send«, your entries are assembled into a mailto: URL exclusively on your end device via local JavaScript code and handed off to your local email program.
