Privacy policy

This is a translation provided for convenience. Only the German version (Datenschutzerklärung) is legally binding.

This policy explains which personal data I process when you visit this website or contact me, and what rights you have.

1. Controller

Mark Linnamägi
Kuthstraße 37
51107 Köln (Cologne), Germany
Telephone: +49 221 2975682
Email: mark@linnamaegi.com

2. The key points

This website does not use cookies or any analytics or tracking tools, and it does not embed content from external providers. The fonts are also loaded from my own web server. There is no contact form and no newsletter.

3. Hosting and server logs

This website and my email mailbox are operated by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, owner René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, on servers in Germany. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider.

When you access the website, your browser transmits data to the server for technical reasons, which is stored in log files:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • date and time of access
  • page or file accessed and amount of data transferred
  • website from which you reached this site (referrer)
  • browser and operating system used

This processing serves to deliver the website and to ensure its security and stability. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website. The log files are deleted by the host after seven days at the latest. Longer storage is only possible in individual cases, for example to investigate an attack on the servers. I do not draw any conclusions about you from this data.

The connection to this website is encrypted using TLS (recognisable by “https://” in the address bar).

4. Contact by email or telephone

If you write to me or call me, I process the information you provide (such as your name, email address, telephone number and the content of your message) in order to deal with your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract, such as consulting, and otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; my legitimate interest lies in being able to answer enquiries.

I delete your data as soon as it is no longer needed for dealing with your enquiry, unless statutory retention obligations, for example under commercial or tax law, require otherwise.

5. Unsolicited applications

I do not fill positions myself and do not consider applications. If I nevertheless receive application documents, I send a short rejection and then delete the documents immediately. As evidence, I keep only a note with the name and the dates of receipt and rejection for up to six months, in order to be able to defend myself against possible legal claims. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 17(3)(e) GDPR. I do not pass on application documents to third parties.

6. Links to booksellers and other websites

This website contains simple links, for example to online booksellers. Data is only transmitted to the respective provider once you click such a link. From then on, that provider’s privacy policy applies.

7. Recipients and third countries

Apart from the host named in section 3, your data is not passed on to third parties unless I am legally obliged to do so. No data is transferred to countries outside the European Union.

8. Your rights

Subject to the statutory requirements, you have the right to

  • access the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR),
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR),
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

Right to object: where I process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).

An informal message to the address above is sufficient for all of these requests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for me is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW).

9. Automated decision-making

No automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place.
