Privacy policy

This is a convenience translation. The German version is the legally binding text.

This website is deliberately built to minimise data. It sets no cookies, embeds no external fonts, scripts or media, and uses no analytics, tracking or advertising services whatsoever. No profiling and no automated decision-making take place.

1. Controller

No data protection officer has been appointed, as the statutory conditions requiring one are not met.

2. Accessing the website

This website runs on my own hardware on my own premises. No hosting provider holds the content. The site is reachable through a virtual server rented by me from IONOS SE in Berlin, Germany. That server serves solely as the endpoint of a tunnel into my network and forwards the traffic at packet level without decrypting it. In doing so, IONOS processes the data technically required to establish the connection, in particular your IP address. All processing takes place in Germany.

On my side the entire chain is configured to keep no access logs: neither the web server nor the reverse proxy in front of it. Neither your IP address nor the address requested, the time of access, your browser or the referring page is recorded. For the duration of the transmission the data is technically required so that your browser can receive the page at all; it is not stored. Any analysis of usage behaviour is therefore ruled out even after the fact, because no record exists.

3. Contact by email or telephone

If you contact me by email or telephone, the information you provide is processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where the enquiry relates to the initiation or performance of a contract, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.

Your data is deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with conclusively, unless statutory retention obligations apply. Commercial correspondence is subject to retention periods of six and ten years respectively under German commercial and tax law.

This website contains no contact form. For confidential messages, the PGP key with the identifier 7B9186D2 is available.

4. Encryption

This website is served exclusively over a TLS-encrypted connection. You can recognise this by the address bar of your browser, which begins with https://.

5. Browser storage

If you switch the light or dark appearance manually, that choice is stored in your browser's local storage (localStorage). This is not a cookie; the information never leaves your device and is not transmitted to me. You can delete it at any time through your browser settings.

6. Recipients and transfers to third countries

Your data is not passed on to third parties. The only party involved is IONOS SE, named under section 2, as the operator of the tunnel server through which the connection into my network is established. No transfer to countries outside the European Union takes place.

7. Your rights

You have the following rights with regard to personal data concerning you:

An informal message to alexander@kune.de is sufficient to exercise these rights.

8. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for me is:

Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit
Ludwig-Erhard-Strasse 22, 20459 Hamburg
Germany

9. Status of this policy

Last updated: September 2026. I will amend this policy as soon as the processing carried out on this website changes.
