2. Data We Collect

2.1 Server Log Files

When you access our blog, our hosting server automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits to us. This includes:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • Date and time of access
  • URL of the requested page
  • HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the stable and secure operation of our website. Log data is automatically deleted after 14 days unless retention is required for security investigations.

2.2 Cookies

Our blog does not set any cookies. Theme preferences are stored exclusively in your browser's local storage, which is not transmitted to our servers. We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies.

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Comments (Giscus / GitHub)

Our blog uses Giscus for the comment section. Giscus is a free, open-source commenting system that stores comments as GitHub Discussions in a public GitHub repository.

To post a comment, you must authenticate with your GitHub account. When you use the comment feature:

  • You interact directly with GitHub's services
  • GitHub processes your data according to their own privacy policy
  • Your comment, GitHub username, and avatar are publicly visible
  • We have no control over the data GitHub collects during authentication

Krafteq GmbH is not the data controller or processor for any personal data handled through the Giscus comment system. GitHub, Inc. (or GitHub B.V. for EU users) is the independent data controller for that data.

Using the comment feature is entirely voluntary. You can read all blog content without authenticating or providing any personal data.

3.2 Content Delivery

We may serve static assets (fonts, icons) from third-party CDNs. When your browser requests these resources, the CDN provider may receive your IP address. This is necessary for content delivery and processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Data Transfers Outside the EU

GitHub, Inc. is based in the United States. Data transfers to GitHub (when using the comment feature) are covered by GitHub's compliance with applicable data transfer mechanisms, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For details, see GitHub's privacy documentation.

5. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR) — request information about your stored data
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) — correct inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) — request deletion of your data
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) — object to data processing based on legitimate interest

To exercise these rights regarding server log data, contact us at info@krafteq.de.

For data related to comments, please contact GitHub directly, as they are the data controller for that information.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The responsible authority for Krafteq GmbH is:

Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen
