This is my, Jens Oliver Meiert’s, personal website. The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of employers or other companies and organizations I’m associated with.

Responsible for editorial contents (but not for linked websites) as per § 55 II RStV: Jens Oliver Meiert. All information is subject to change.

Artificial Intelligence

In general, no content on this website is generated by so-called artificial intelligence (AI). Any exceptions are noted.

Privacy

Responsible for data protection, particularly in terms of European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): Jens Oliver Meiert.

Similar to other privacy policies, this policy makes use of a rather formal language. You’re still most welcome on my website.

This is a manual translation of the German privacy policy. If in doubt or in case of ambiguity, please refer to the German version.

As the provider of this website, we generally don’t want any data. Apart from legal requirements, this policy is needed because of factors outside of our control, as with server logs our hosting provider stores or needs to store.

Your Rights

Using the contact data provided you can at any time exercise the following rights:

You can at any time revoke your consent.

You can also at any time file a complaint with the supervisory authority in charge.

Purposes of Data Processing

We process any personally identifiable information only to the purposes listed in this policy. There’s no transfer of your personal data other than for the purposes mentioned. We transfer any of your personal data only if

Detention or Deletion of Data

We adhere to the principles of data reduction and frugality. We only store data for as long as it’s necessary for the purposes mentioned or as legal retention periods require. Once purposes or retention periods cease to apply, the data get blocked or removed pursuant to the applicable legal provisions.

Encryption

For data protection reasons your data are encrypted using TLS, and transferred via HTTPS.

Server Logs

The hosting provider of this website, ALL-INKL.COM, collects and stores some information transferred by your browser in so-called server log files. This information includes:

We’ve signed a data processing agreement with ALL-INKL.COM, requiring ALL-INKL.COM to protect our users’ data and not hand over data to third parties.

The data are not combined or merged with other sources of data.

Processing of the data happens pursuant to Art. 6 ¶ 1 (f) GDPR, allowing the processing of data for the purposes of contractual compliance.

In the server statistics available to us, IP addresses are anonymized and all log files get deleted after 30 days.

Cookies

The content management system of this website uses cookies. It’s not necessary for you to directly access this system, however, and neither are you authorized to do so. Therefore, this section only serves to inform you if for whatever reason you still do.

Cookies are small files transferred from a server of a website to your computer. They may contain certain data like your IP address, operation system, or browser.

Unless you use the system in an unlawful fashion, any such data collected by us are neither with personally identifiable information nor transferred to third parties without your consent.

The use of cookies can be prevented through your browser settings. Your browser’s documentation contains information about changing these settings.

Email

When you contact us through email, your inquiry and the information provided are saved in order to process and follow up on the inquiry. The data are not handed over to third parties without your consent.

Processing of the data contained in the email happens pursuant to your permission (Art. 6 ¶ 1 (a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time, for example through an email to us. The withdrawal does not affect the legal validity of processing of the data.

The data provided are saved until you ask us to delete the data, revoke your consent to store the data, or until the purpose for storing the data falls away. This does not overrule any applicable legal requirements, as with retention periods.

We use Gmail and Proton Mail for email, each additionally secured with two-factor authentication. Please refer to Google’s and Proton’s privacy policies for details.

Comments

When you leave a comment on this website, some information is stored beside the data you enter, like IP address, browser, and time. This serves only the purpose of our liability in case of legally problematic comments.

Processing of the data provided with comments happens pursuant to your permission (Art. 6 ¶ 1 (a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time, for example through an email to us. The withdrawal does not affect the legal validity of processing of the data.

VG WORT

Some pages of this website use VG WORT session cookies, in order to count requests to editorial content. VG WORT, in turn, makes use of the Skalierbares Zentrales Messverfahren (SZM, “scalable central measurement system”) of INFOnline GmbH for the detection of statistical parameters so as to determine the probability of copies of content. This measuring happens pursuant to Art. 6 ¶ 1 (f) GDPR.

In the process, anonymous metrics are collected. To recognize computer systems, the measurement either employs a session cookie or a signature generated through a set of data automatically transmitted by your browser. IP addresses are only used in an anonymized fashion. At no point are single users being identified; your identity remains protected. You don’t receive advertising through the system.

Session cookies are small units of information, saved in the computer memory of a service provider’s user. A session cookie contains a randomly generated identification number, the so-called session ID. On top of that, such a cookie contains information about its origin and the period of time it’s being stored. Session cookies cannot save any other data. Using session cookies, VG WORT enables their authors to participate in VG WORT distribution payments that ensure compensation for the use of otherwise copyright-protected works in accordance with § 53 UrhG. If you don’t wish to partake in SZM measuring, you can opt out.

Miscellaneous

To improve the performance of this website and the experience using it, files like images, style sheets, and scripts are provided through the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network (CDN) by Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS may save data related to this use. Please refer to the AWS privacy policy for details.

Some orders of digital products are handled through Gumroad. When placing an order, you leave this website and Gumroad may save data related to this use. Please refer to Gumroad’s privacy policy and terms of use for details.

In order not just to point to information and products but to make it easier to obtain them, some links on this website are so-called affiliate links. When you click on and purchase through such an affiliate link, we receive a commission from the respective provider. Affiliate links do not mean price changes for you.

Search functionality on this website is based on Google’s Programmable Search Engine. When searching, you leave this website and Google may save data related to this use. Please refer to Google’s privacy policy for details.

Sporadically, this website uses Sentry in order to check for compliance with security policies. This is both for the general security of your data as well as for the enforcement of provisions made in this document, and it happens only sporadically to balance security and privacy. Similar to other external services, for details on how Sentry works with data, please refer to Sentry’s privacy policy.

Changes

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy in order to comply with legal requirements and to reflect changes to our website and services. For your later visits to this website, the respective current privacy policy applies.
