Privacy Policy
This privacy policy informs you about the nature, scope and purpose of processing personal data on this website. The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is the person identified in the legal notice.
1. What data is processed
This site sets no cookies and no embedded third-party scripts. When a page is loaded, only technically necessary data is logged by the web server: date and time, requested URL, HTTP response code, IP address, user agent. These logs serve operational security only and are automatically deleted after 14 days. Anonymous reach measurement is additionally performed via our own self-hosted GoatCounter instance (details in section 6).
2. Legal basis and purpose
Log data is processed under our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in the secure and stable operation of the site. No profiling takes place. Data is forwarded to third parties only in the case of a substantiated suspicion of unlawful use as part of an official inquiry.
3. External content
Clicking an event link takes you to the respective organiser's site. The data processing there is the sole responsibility of those operators. Web fonts are served directly from our own server; no third-party fetch occurs.
4. Encryption
This site is served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections (TLS 1.3, HSTS enabled). We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access (Art. 32 GDPR).
5. Hosting
This site is hosted on servers of DigitalOcean LLC, 101 Avenue of the Americas, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10013, USA — the specific server resides in the EU data centre in Frankfurt am Main. DigitalOcean acts as a processor within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR; the corresponding Data Processing Agreement is available at https://www.digitalocean.com/legal/data-processing-agreement. A transfer to third countries cannot be fully excluded; such transfers occur on the basis of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).
6. Reach measurement with GoatCounter
To improve the site we operate a self-hosted instance of the open-source analytics tool GoatCounter at stats.schweinfurt-events.de. The software sets no cookies, stores no IP addresses in plain text, and transmits no data to third parties — all data remains on the same Frankfurt-am-Main server that hosts this website. Only anonymous, aggregated metrics are recorded: requested URL, truncated referrer URL, browser family, operating-system family, screen size, language, date. IP addresses are hashed internally for daily deduplication and discarded at end of day. Processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in privacy-preserving reach measurement. You can opt out at any time via the "Do Not Track" setting in your browser — GoatCounter respects this signal and stops collection.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). Requests should be sent to the email address in the legal notice. You may also lodge a complaint with the Bavarian Data Protection Authority: Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.
