Legal
Privacy
A short page, because there is little to describe. This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and fetches nothing from anywhere else. What follows is the detail behind that sentence, written so you can check it rather than take it on trust.
The short version#
This site is a directory of static files. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, embeds no third-party content, and makes no request to any other host while you read it. The stylesheet, the script and the logo are built into each page rather than fetched; the images come from this site. Nothing here profiles you, and there is nothing to consent to, which is why you were not asked.
What remains is what any web server records in order to answer a request at all. That is described below, along with who holds it.
Who is responsible#
Verantwortlicher im Sinne der DSGVO, controller for the purposes of the GDPR, is trion development GmbH, Münster, Germany.
- Full company disclosure
- Registered office, management, commercial register entry and VAT identification number are in the operator's Imprint. It is kept there rather than repeated here, so there is one copy of it and it cannot go stale in two places.
- Getting in touch, including about your data
- Use the contact form. It reaches the same people an email would, and it keeps an address out of a public page where it would be harvested. A phone number is in the imprint if you would rather call.
Server logs, and who keeps them#
The site is served by GitHub Pages. Retrieving a page necessarily discloses to that server the things every HTTP request carries.
| Recorded | Why it is unavoidable |
|---|---|
| Your IP address | The response has to be addressed somewhere. |
| The date and time, and the path requested | The server has to know what to send. |
| The user agent and, if your browser sends one, the referrer | Sent by the browser as part of the request. |
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is operating a website and keeping it secure and available. It is not combined with anything else, not used to identify you, and no profile is built from it.
Local storage, and why there is no banner#
One thing is stored in your browser. When you use the light/dark toggle in the header, the
choice is written to localStorage under the key theme, so the next page does not flash the
wrong colour at you.
- It holds one word,
lightordark. - It is never transmitted anywhere. It is read by the page you are on and nothing else.
- It is written only if you operate the toggle. Arriving and reading writes nothing.
- Clearing your browser's site data removes it.
Storing it is covered by § 25 (2) No. 2 TDDG, which does not require consent for storage strictly necessary to provide a service the user has expressly requested. Operating a theme switch is that request. There are no other cookies and no other storage, so a consent banner would have nothing to ask about.
What this site does not do#
Stated explicitly, because "we value your privacy" is worth nothing next to a list.
| Not present | Meaning |
|---|---|
| No analytics of any kind. | No Google Analytics, no Matomo, no self-hosted counter, no pixel, no server-side page-view tally we can see. |
| No cookies. | The site sets none. Not functional ones, not session ones, none. |
| No third-party requests. | No web fonts, no CDN, no framework, no embedded video, no social widget, no comment system. The CSS and JavaScript are part of the page rather than fetched from anywhere. |
| No accounts, no forms, no uploads. | There is nothing here to submit, so there is nothing to submit it to. |
| No contact with the driver you install. | The software this site documents does not phone home, and it never contacts this site or any other of ours. It talks to your S3 endpoint and to nothing else. |
Because the site is entirely self-contained, it also works from a local copy with no network at all, which is the same property stated a different way.
Links that leave this site#
Pages here link to GitHub, to project sites such as SeaweedFS and Garage, to Bluesky and to trion.de. Those are ordinary links. Nothing is requested from them until you click, and once you do, the site you land on decides what it collects. Its privacy notice applies then, not this one.
Your rights#
Under the GDPR you may request access to the personal data held about you (Art. 15), its rectification (Art. 16) or erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and you may object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). Use the contact form.
In practice there is very little for us to answer with, because the only data involved is in a log we do not hold. That is worth saying plainly rather than implying a richer record exists.
You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority (Art. 77). The competent one for the operator is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen, Kavalleriestraße 2-4, 40213 Düsseldorf.
Changes to this notice#
This page describes the site as it is built today. It is versioned with the site, so a change to what the site does and a change to this page arrive in the same commit. There is no separate archive of previous versions.
