This website is hosted by statichost.eu in Sweden. To deliver the pages, their servers have to process your IP address.

Visitor statistics
I use GoatCounter to see how many people visit which pages. GoatCounter sets no cookies and builds no profiles. It records the page address, the referring website, browser and operating system, screen size and the country derived from your IP address. Your IP address itself is not stored. The data is processed in data centres in Finland and Germany. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, my legitimate interest in knowing which content is read.
If you email me, I process your address and message to reply. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, my legitimate interest in answering you, or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your message concerns a contract. Emails to this domain are received by easyname GmbH in Austria and forwarded to a mailbox at Google. Google may process data in the USA, which is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. I delete messages once they are no longer needed.
