Who I am
My website address is: https://abklein.eu.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on my website, I collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is used to help detect spam.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, I recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images published on the site.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on my website, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are provided for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.
If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When logging in (administrative access only), cookies are set to save login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If “Remember Me” is selected, the login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.
If an article is edited or published, an additional cookie is stored in the browser. This cookie contains no personal data and only indicates the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.
Contact forms
When you contact me through the website’s contact form, I collect the data you provide in the form (such as your name, email address, and message content).
The contact form is handled using Contact Form 7, and submitted messages are stored locally on the website using the Flamingo plugin. This data is kept solely for the purpose of responding to inquiries and is not shared with third parties.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this website may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you visited those websites directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you are logged in to those platforms.
Analytics
I do not use external analytics or tracking services. Any insights used are limited to basic, local website functionality, and no personal data is shared with third parties for analytics or marketing purposes.
Who I share your data with
I do not sell or share personal data with third parties.
If you request a password reset (administrative access only), your IP address will be included in the password reset email for security purposes.
How long I retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows follow-up comments to be recognized and approved automatically.
Messages submitted via the contact form are stored locally and retained only as long as necessary to handle the request or for administrative reference.
This website does not allow public user registration.
What rights you have over your data
If you have left comments or contacted me through the website, you may request an exported file of the personal data I hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that I erase your personal data.
This does not include any data I am required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
