Data Protection Declaration
1. Preamble
This is not a commercial website. It has the exclusive purpose of presenting open source software,
which is made available free of charge.
It does not use cookies, contains no advertising and does not make use of external services.
The operator of this website does not take responsibility for external contents which are refered by
this website or for such which are beyond his sphere of influence.
The contents are checked and classified as safe before references are inserted. However, there is no continuous review.
2. General information
When you visit websites, certain information is tacitly transmitted to web servers by the browser you are using.
This information is required, e.g. to establish a connection between your device and the server and to be able to request a website.
Such information is:
- The IP address of the device from which you are connecting (assigned by your Internet provider, usually dynamic)
- The address (URL) that you entered and requested in your browser or the address refered by a link (if you clicked a link)
Further information that your browser possibly transmits:
- Browser name and version
- The name of the operating system and its version
- The address of the website you visited previously or from which you were redirected
This information is stored associated with further information in log files of the web server.
This further information is:
- Date of request
- Time of request
The log files are stored for 14 days and are removed after this period has expired.
They are required to detect server attacks (e.g. brute force attacks) and to counteract them, but also to identify internal server errors.
Another use is to determine how often and which search engine scans the website.
The IP address itself does not provide any direct information about a specific person or personal data.
3. Transmission of data when using the contact form
When using the contact form the following data are transmitted in addition to the data mentioned under 2:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Other personal data which you possibly enter as message text
Providing your name and email address as well as other personal data is optional.
The email address is only required if you wish to receive an answer to your request (please state your wish explicitly in your message).
The messages will be kept until your issue has been resolved. Then they are deleted (including the associated data).
4. Transmission of data when using the online tools
This website provides tools which enable the demonstration of the offered software directly on the website.
If you make use of them, data are transmitted to the server.
In case of the Online CSS Minifier, it is the information mentioned under 2, the selected settings and the CSS content which is entered or copy pasted.
The data mentioned under 2 are treated as described there.
The settings and CSS contents are discarded as soon as the web server has delivered the response (regardless of whether the request was successful or not).
There is no permanent storage of CSS data.
5. TLS encryption
This website uses TLS encryption for secure data transmission from browser to server and from server to browser.
Look for the lock symbol next to the address line in your browser or https:// at the beginning of the address.
TLS encryption is also used for email communication, if your email provider or mail server supports it.
If you detect an unencrypted connection, then there is most likely a technical problem. In this case,
please send a note using the contact form without specifying any personal data.
6. Data security
The website operator has accomplished the necessary steps to secure the data stored on the server.
The TLS encryption mentioned under 5 is used for communication.
However, when communicating via email, TLS encryption cannot be guaranteed as both endpoints must support it.
7. Location of the server
The server on which this website is hosted is located in Germany in a data center of STRATO AG.
Headquarters of STRATO AG:
Pascalstrasse 10
10587 Berlin
Germany
8. Data protection statement
Regardless of the type of data that is transmitted, the website operator undertakes to treat it confidentially,
if this is within his sphere of influence, and not to pass it on to third parties.
An unavoidable exception is the transfer to the data center of STRATO AG, since the server is located in a data center of this company (see point 7).
Other exceptions can be cases that are justified by legal regulations or if you have consented to the disclosure.
9. Your rights
You have the right to information, if your personal data are being processed.
If your personal data are being processed, you have the right to get information about
- which data
- for how long
- for which purpose
are being processed.
You also have the right to have your personal data deleted.
Cases that are justified by legal regulations are an exception.
