This website

This site is deliberately plain: it loads no fonts, scripts or images from third-party servers, sets no cookies and embeds no analytics or advertising services. No user tracking takes place.

The effect settings (choice and strength) in the cursor-effect menu (bottom right) are stored as a purely local browser setting in your device's local storage. This setting never leaves your device — there is no transmission to us or third parties and no tracking.

The site additionally stores your language choice (German or English) under the key "bucht-lang" in your browser's local storage, so that you are not switched again on every visit; a second entry ("bucht-lang-auto") only lasts for the current session. Both stay on your device, are never transmitted, and are not used for any analysis.

This website is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA). When the page is accessed, Netlify, as our processor, processes technically necessary access data in server logs — including IP address, time of access, file requested, volume of data transferred and browser identifier. This processing is required in order to deliver the page and is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in technically sound and secure operation). This data is not combined with any other source. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Netlify.

Getting in touch

If you contact us by email, we process your details solely in order to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures or performance of a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in replying). The data is deleted once it is no longer required for that purpose and no retention obligations apply.

The linked apps

A separate, detailed privacy policy applies to the apps linked in the app portfolio, with the details for each app: Apps: terms & privacy.

The links in the app portfolio lead to Apple's App Store. As soon as you click one of these links, you leave this website; for the processing of your data in the App Store, Apple's privacy policy applies exclusively.

Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). An informal message to info@digitalbucht.de is enough.

Independently of that, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The competent authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
