Responsibility of the controller
The controller
in the sense of Article 4 Paragraph 7 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the european parliament and of the council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) is:

Processing and Transfer of Data
No personal data will be transferred for any other purpose as mentioned below. Personal data may only be transferred if:
- you gave your consent in the sense of Article 6 (1a) GDPR,
- the processing is necessary to fullfil a contract with you or to act precedent to a contract with you in the sense of Article 6 (1b) GDPR,
- I am legally obligated to do so in the sense of Article 6 (1c) GDPR,
- it is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person in the sense of Article 6 (1d) GDPR,
- it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child as it is written in Article 6 (1f) GDPR.
The General Data Protection Regulation generally prohibits processing of personal data. Thereby »processing« means in simple terms everything that is done with any personal data. Even the deletion of personal data is subsumed under »processing«. Article 6 of the GDPR sets out the exceptions under which processing of personal data is permitted. In the following, I will explain to you in more detail the individual types, purposes and deletion periods of personal data that arise or may arise during the use of this online service.
Processing of personal data in Log-Files
When you visit the website www.berndneumann.eu and the subpages available under this domain, personal data is stored in the log files of the server. These data include
- date and time of access according to the computer clock of the server with the time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT),
- name and URL of the requestet file,
- access status/HTTP status code,
- amount of data transferred in bytes,
- website from which access was made (referrer URL),
- the browser you used and the operating system of your computer,
- IP address of the requesting computer or router.
This data is collected in order to
- ensure the smooth operation of the website,
- find and eliminate errors on the website (e.g. status code 404),
- evaluate, within the framework of the analysis tools provided by the service provider, how this website is used (for example, which pages are visited how often and which browsers are used in which versions),
- fulfil other administrative purposes.
These data will be deleted by the service provider "1 & 1 Ionos SE" after 9 weeks. This retention period is stated by the service provider in its Help Center. A deletion by me is not possible, because as the operator of the website I only have read rights on the log files for reasons of system and data security.
Processing of personal data by e-mail
If you contact me by e-mail, your e-mail address, any first and last names sent by your e-mail program and the text of your e-mail will be stored in my mailbox in the computer center of my service provider. In addition, it may happen that a copy or partial copy of this mailbox is created by the e-mail client of my home computer or that parts of the mailbox are temporarily in the cache of my browser.
The purpose of this storage is to process your mail.
The deletion of e-mails does not take place after a certain period of time. The criterion for deleting an e-mail is whether it will be used for future correspondence. Further criteria are the clarity of the mailbox and the limited storage space of the mailbox. – It goes without saying that e-mails and e-mail addresses are deleted if you wish.
Processing by the service-provider
In order for a website to be offered on the Internet, a comprehensive infrastructure is required (e.g. static IP address, a DNS service, constant availability of the site through a permanent Internet connection). Above all, the configuration of a web server requires special knowledge of server administration in order to secure the server against unauthorized access and manipulation by third parties. This protection is particularly important for the personal data in the log files and the e-mail inbox.
In order to meet these requirements, I have commissioned 1 & 1 Ionos SE
, a well-known and reliable service provider, to host my website in its data center for the Internet. The corresponding personal data will and must therefore be stored in the service provider's computer center.
Pursuant to Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation, in addition to the hosting contract, a contract for the processing of personal data has been made in order to ensure the correct treatment of all personal data. The contact person of the service provider for data protection issues is:

Processing by the VG-Wort
In Germany publishers of texts on websites may ask the VG-Wort
to evalute the usage of their text and give him a yearly share according to their measurement.
My website uses the Skalierbare Zentrale Messverfahren
(SZM) of the INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de) for the determination of statistical parameters for the determination of the copy probability of texts.
Therefore anonymously measured values are collected. For the recognition of computer systems, the access measurement alternatively uses a session cookie or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser. This cookie is only set with your consent, which you can cancel at any time in the section Cookies
below. IP addresses are only processed in anonymous form.
The procedure was developed with data protection in mind. The sole aim of the procedure is to determine the probability of copying individual texts.
At no time individual users are identified. Your identity is always protected. You do not receive any advertising via the system.

- as well as the right to appeal and the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority explained in more detail below.
