Who is responsible

Christian Lapp, Vienna, Austria. For privacy inquiries, please use the contact form.

When you visit the website

The website is hosted by easyname. When you access the website, connection data needed for technical purposes is processed, particularly your IP address, the time of access, the page visited, and browser information. This is used to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in providing a functioning, secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Server logs are deleted in accordance with the hosting provider’s security requirements and retention schedule.

Country lookup for the book edition and Amazon store

On the English-language website, the server uses a local country database to associate the connection’s IP address with a country, so it can preselect the English edition of the book and choose the Amazon store. No precise location data is requested, and no IP addresses are sent to an additional geolocation service. The result of this lookup is not stored separately. You can choose the book’s language yourself at any time.

When you use the contact form

Your email address and message are sent by email to the website operator and used only to process and respond to your inquiry. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in communicating with you (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Your message is kept only for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and, where applicable, to safeguard legitimate claims.

To protect against spam, the form uses a simple arithmetic question and a limit on how frequently messages can be sent. For this purpose, a pseudonymized verification value derived from the IP address is stored in the server’s memory for no more than one hour. This security mechanism does not use cookies or load an external CAPTCHA service.

Cookies and external links

This website does not set cookies or use embedded analytics or advertising services. If you follow an external link, the respective provider’s privacy information applies there.

Amazon affiliate link

The book title “Soziale Selbstorganisation” linked in the author bio leads to Amazon through an Amazon affiliate link. The link contains an affiliate ID that allows Amazon to attribute qualifying purchases to this website. You access Amazon only when you click the link. Amazon may then process data and use cookies or similar technologies for attribution. Amazon’s Privacy Notice applies. No Amazon scripts, images, or tracking pixels are embedded here.

Your rights

You can request access to your data, correction, deletion, or restriction of processing, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Please use the contact form. You can also lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority.
