2. Types of Data Processed

• Contact data (name, email address, message from contact form submissions)
• Usage data (IP address, browser type, referrer, access time, logged server-side in shortened/anonymized form)
• One locally stored preference (in your browser’s local storage under the key folaint-theme: your choice between the light and dark appearance). It is stored only once you switch the appearance, contains nothing that identifies you, and is not used for tracking.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis

• Contact form: Processing your inquiry. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is being able to answer questions about what we offer. Name, email address and message are required, without them we cannot process the inquiry. There is no statutory or contractual obligation to provide them, and you are at no disadvantage if you do not use the form.
• Server log files: Technical operation and security. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the stable operation of the website and the defence against attacks.
• Local preference storage: Remembering your choice of appearance so the site looks the way you last left it. It is stored only once you switch, and is therefore requested by you (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is an appearance matching your most recent choice.

4. Hosting

This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. The provider processes usage data (see section 2) on our behalf. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with the provider.

5. Contact Form Email Delivery (Resend)

To deliver contact form submissions to us by email, we use the email service Resend (Resend, Inc., 2261 Market Street #5039, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA) as a processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. When you submit the contact form, the data you enter (name, email address, message) is transmitted to Resend for the sole purpose of delivering your message to us by email.

Resend is based in the USA; the transfer to this third country is safeguarded by the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 (2)(c) GDPR), concluded as part of our data processing agreement with Resend. A copy of these safeguards is available on request at contact@folaint.de. Legal basis for the processing: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (handling your inquiry) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the reliable delivery of your message.

6. Retention Period

• Contact inquiries: Until the inquiry is fully resolved, then deleted, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
• Server log files: IP addresses are only stored in shortened (anonymized) form; log files are deleted after 7 days at the latest.
• Local preference storage: Until you clear your browser storage. You can change the appearance at any time using the switch in the site header.

7. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

To exercise your rights, contact: contact@folaint.de

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The competent authority for Baden-Württemberg is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg (LfDI BW).

8. No Tracking Tools / Third-Party Recipients

This website uses no analytics services, no social media tracking, and no advertising technologies. No personal data is shared with third parties beyond the processors named in sections 4 (hosting) and 5 (email delivery).

9. Fonts

All typefaces used on this website are self-hosted. The font files are served directly from our own hosting infrastructure (see section 4) together with the rest of the site. No connection to Google Fonts or any other third-party font provider is established, and no data (such as your IP address) is transmitted to third parties in order to display the site’s typography.
