Privacy policy
This is a static site without cookies, analytics, advertising or embedded third-party content. That is why there is no consent banner either. What data does occur is described here.
This policy provides the information required by Articles 13 and 14 GDPR. The German version is the legally binding one.
Controller
The controller for the processing on this website is:
Tim SchumacherMüggelheimer Straße 255571 Odernheim am GlanGermany

Hosting and server logs
The site is served by GitLab Pages, operated by GitLab Inc., 268 Bush Street #350, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA, on Google Cloud infrastructure. When a page is requested, the host processes technically necessary access data: IP address, date and time, the requested address, the amount of data transferred, the status code, the referrer and the browser identification.
The purpose is delivering the site and keeping the service secure and stable. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; my legitimate interest is the technically sound operation of this website. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with GitLab.
Processing also takes place in the United States, based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
The host determines how long the log data is kept. I have no access to those logs, do not evaluate them and do not combine them with any other data.
No cookies, no tracking
This site stores no cookies and reads no information from your device, so no consent banner under § 25 TDDDG is required.
There is no audience measurement, no analytics, no profiling and no advertising network.
Fonts and images
All fonts and all images are stored on this server and served from this domain. Nothing is loaded from Google Fonts or any other network, and no third-party content delivery network is used.
Music and video content
Older notes point to music and videos on YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, Mixcloud and Bandcamp. That content is not embedded: you see a card with title, artist and thumbnail that comes entirely from this website. No connection to those providers is made unless you click the card.
Only the click takes you off this site; from that point on the provider's own privacy policy applies.
External links
This site links to LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company), to Matrix and to the key server keys.openpgp.org. These are plain links, not embedded content. Data is only transmitted once you follow such a link, and then under the terms of that provider.
Getting in touch
If you write to me, I process your address and the content of your message in order to answer it. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where a contract or its initiation is concerned, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR with the legitimate interest of answering enquiries.
My mailbox is hosted by mailbox.org (Berlin). I keep messages for as long as the matter requires, and beyond that only where statutory retention obligations apply.

Right to object
Where I process data on the basis of legitimate interests under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — here the server logs and answering enquiries — you may object at any time with effect for the future. An informal e-mail is enough.
Right to lodge a complaint
Under Art. 77 GDPR you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is:
Der Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Rheinland-PfalzHintere Bleiche 3455116 MainzGermany
No automated decision-making
There is no automated decision-making including profiling under Art. 22 GDPR. You are not obliged to provide personal data; without contact details, however, I cannot answer an enquiry.
