Privacy Policy.

1. Controller

2. Hosting and server log data

When you access this website, technical information is necessarily processed to deliver the pages securely. This may include your IP address, the date and time of access, the requested address, referrer information, browser type, operating system and response status.

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure, reliable and efficient operation of this website. The site is delivered using hosting and security infrastructure supplied by OpenAI and Cloudflare. Where data are processed outside the European Economic Area, the providers use the applicable safeguards for international data transfers.

3. Contact by email

If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide in order to answer your enquiry. Depending on the nature of your request, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps prior to entering into or performing a contract) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

4. External links

This website links to external services including Substack, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, X and the ZERA Institute website. No third-party social-media or newsletter content is embedded on this website. Data are transferred to an external provider only when you follow the corresponding link. The provider's own privacy policy then applies.

5. Cookies and tracking

We do not currently use analytics, advertising pixels or marketing cookies on this website. Technically necessary security or delivery mechanisms may be used without consent where the statutory requirements are met. If consent-based services are introduced, this policy and the consent mechanism will be updated before they are activated.

6. Retention

Personal data are retained only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by law. Technical log data are deleted or anonymised according to the security and retention settings of the hosting providers. Email correspondence is deleted when the enquiry has been resolved and no legal retention obligation applies.

7. Your rights

Subject to the statutory conditions, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability and objection. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority in Berlin is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
