Privacy Protection
Klippspringer, owned and operated by Lennart Sonnabend respects your privacy. We operate this website according to the principle of data minimization. We only collect data that is absolutely necessary to ensure the functionality of the site.
In particular, we do not use tracking or analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics). This means your general browsing behavior is neither recorded by us nor passed on to third parties.
Ghost Platform
The operation of this website, the dispatch of the email newsletter, and member management (registration/comments) are handled via the Ghost platform (ghost.org). Ghost is open-source software maintained by the Ghost Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Singapore.
Web hosting is provided via the Ghost(Pro) service. The servers are located in the European Union (Netherlands). You can find out more about how personal data is handled in Ghost's Data Processing Agreement.
Data Collection (Newsletter & Comments)
You can visit this website without providing any personal data. We do not collect access statistics via analytics cookies.
If you wish to subscribe to the email newsletter or use the comment function under the blog articles, you must register and provide an email address.
- Newsletter: Your email address is stored for the purpose of delivering the newsletter.
- Comments: When using the comment function, the time of creation, your email address, and your IP address are stored alongside your chosen username. This is for our legal protection in case unlawful content (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.) is posted.
- Technical Data: During registration, some technical user data is stored, e.g., the date and time of registration, your IP address, and your browser type.
This data is stored until you revoke your consent, unsubscribe from the newsletter, or request the deletion of your account.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via our contact form, the information you provide – specifically your email address and your message – will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
To technically provide and process this contact form, we use the service Formspree, operated by Formspree, Inc. (USA). When you submit a message, your entered data and your IP address are transmitted to Formspree's servers. You can find further details on how Formspree handles your data in the Formspree Privacy Policy.
Links to Third-Party Providers and Social Media
To protect your privacy, we deliberately avoid directly embedding content from external platforms (such as YouTube videos or Instagram posts) and do not use social media plugins.
When we link to external content or our social media profiles (Discord, Reddit, Instagram), we do so exclusively via simple hyperlinks or locally stored placeholder graphics. Simply visiting our website does not transfer any data to these third-party providers (such as Google or Meta).
Data transfer to these platforms only occurs the moment you actively click on the respective link and leave our website. Please note that we have no influence on the data processing of these external websites. The privacy policies of the respective providers apply.
Content Delivery Network: jsDelivr
We use jsDelivr (cdn.jsdelivr.net), a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that provides certain JavaScript code components from a central location on the internet. This ensures faster loading times and enhances the security of our website.
We do not transmit any personal data to jsDelivr. However, for technical reasons, technical user data such as the date and time of your visit, your IP address, and your browser type are transmitted to jsDelivr's servers (Location: EU/Poland). Further details can be found in the jsDelivr Privacy Policy.
Cookies
No tracking or analytics cookies are used on this website. However, to technically enable the login process for the comment function and the newsletter, a so-called "session cookie" is set for registered members. This is used solely to store your login status while you remain on the website and is not used to track your user activities.
Right to Revocation and Deletion
By registering, you consent to the collection, storage, and processing of the data mentioned above. You can revoke this consent at any time. In this event, we commit to permanently deleting your data. Please send your revocation or request for account deletion via email to the address provided below.
