GDPR Notice

This is the personal blog of Veit Heller. As such, I am not required to have a GDPR notice. Nonetheless, I will provide a notice that helps you find out what this blog stores and knows about you. I don’t expect it to be legally airtight.

This website does not store any personally identifiable information. It collects the requesting party’s IP address and user agent from the HTTP request, but does not store them.

One external snippet is loaded from the Recurse Center. It will record your IP address and, when clicked, redirect you to an external website that I have no control over. It also loads an asset from Cloudfront, which is an AWS service. Information about GDPR compliance of AWS services can be found here .

Web analytics (Plausible)

This site uses Plausible Analytics. Plausible works without cookies and without cross-site tracking. No personal data is stored.

• Per pageview captured: page URL (without query params except common campaign tags), referrer, and derived browser/OS/device type; city-level location is inferred from the IP.
• No raw identifiers stored: Plausible does not store IP addresses or full user-agents. For daily unique counts it uses a hash of a rotating salt + domain + IP + UA; the salt is deleted every 24 hours.
• Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) in lightweight, privacy-preserving reach measurement and site improvement.
• Processor & hosting: Plausible Insights OÜ (Estonia, EU). Data are processed and stored in the EU on servers in Germany (Hetzner). No transfers outside the EU.
• Retention: Only aggregated statistics are kept for as long as the site is active. You can contact me if you have questions regarding this processing.
• Public stats: For transparency, I made the statistics publicly available here.

Don't know what this is? This is a necessity dictated by European law.
