Privacy Policy

1. Controller and contact

The person responsible for processing personal data on this website is:

2. Website access and server logs

When you open a page, the web server and hosting provider must process technical request data to deliver the site and protect it from misuse. This may include your IP address, request date and time, requested URL, referrer, browser and operating-system information, response status, and transferred data volume.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interests are reliable delivery, troubleshooting, and website and server security. Log data is retained only for as long as it is needed for operations, security investigations, or applicable hosting and legal obligations, and is then deleted or anonymised.

3. Cookies, local storage, and analytics

This website does not currently run an analytics or advertising service and does not intentionally set analytics or advertising cookies. No user account is required.

Some programming tutorial pages show examples about cookies, localStorage, or sessionStorage. Those examples are displayed as educational content and are not used by the website to profile visitors.

4. External resources and links

Pages may request presentation resources from jsDelivr and, on some legacy pages, Google Fonts. When your browser requests an external resource, its provider receives technical connection data such as your IP address and browser headers. This processing is necessary to deliver the requested resource and is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and the interest in presenting a reliable, readable website.

The site also links to external services such as LinkedIn, GitHub, X, Xing, Facebook, Google Maps, WhatsApp, and Telegram. A normal link does not contact the destination merely because this page is loaded. If you select one, the destination provider processes your visit under its own privacy terms. Providers outside the European Economic Area may process data in other countries under the safeguards applicable to their services.

5. Contact communications

If you contact me by email, telephone, WhatsApp, Telegram, or another channel, I process the contact details and message content you provide in order to respond. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR when the communication concerns a contract or pre-contractual request; otherwise it is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and the legitimate interest in answering enquiries.

Communications are kept until the enquiry is completed and are then deleted unless a contractual, evidentiary, or statutory retention requirement applies. The provider of the communication service may independently process the communication under its own terms.

6. Recipients

Personal data is shared only where needed with service providers that support website hosting, resource delivery, or the communication method you choose, or where disclosure is required by law. Data is not sold.

7. Your rights

Subject to the conditions in the GDPR, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or data portability. You may object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent for the future.

To exercise a right, email contact@nikita-goluban.eu. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority for Hesse is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

8. Automated decisions and policy changes

This website does not use automated decision-making or profiling. This notice will be updated when the website’s processing activities or legal requirements materially change.
