Privacy policy
1. Controller
Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:
SoftqoInh. Achim Hilwers
Schützenstraße 17
26676 Barßel
Germany
Email: info[at]softqo.com
2. Cookies and optional website analytics
We use the cookie gitmorrow_analytics_v1 to store whether you allowed or declined website analytics. It is kept for 180 days, contains no visitor identifier and is not used for analytics itself. This storage implements your privacy choice (Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG); the related processing is based on our legitimate interest in respecting your choice (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We set no other cookies.
Only with your prior consent do we load the Umami analytics software from analytics.hilwers-software.com. We use it to measure page views and clicks on selected buttons in order to improve the website. This collects the page address and title, the referring page, the time, the screen resolution, the browser language as well as browser and operating system information. URL query parameters and fragments are removed from the page and referrer addresses before transmission.
Your IP address is also processed when connecting to the analytics server. Umami may use the IP address and browser information to form a pseudonymous identifier and to derive an approximate location. The tracker sets no analytics cookies itself, but reads device information and checks a local opt-out entry in browser storage. The absence of analytics cookies therefore does not by itself remove the need for consent. The legal bases are Section 25(1) TDDDG and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. When “Do Not Track” is enabled, our integration sends no analytics events.
Consent is voluntary and the website remains fully usable without it. You can withdraw your consent here at any time with effect for the future; the lawfulness of the processing up to that point remains unaffected. Withdrawal stops future analytics events and does not automatically delete data that has already been collected. To request deletion, please contact the controller listed above.
3. Access data
When you call up this website, the server necessarily processes the data your browser transmits in order to deliver the page:
- browser type and version,
- operating system used,
- the page from which you reached this site (referrer),
- the pages and files requested,
- date and time of access,
- IP address, and
- the requesting internet service provider.
This data is needed to deliver the content correctly, to keep the technical systems secure and to be able to investigate attacks. It is not combined with other data sources and is not used to draw conclusions about your person. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and error-free operation of the website (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Server log data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for these purposes.
4. External links
This site links to GitHub (downloads, source code, issue tracker) and to softqo.dev. The links are plain links; nothing is loaded from those servers until you click one. Apart from the analytics script described above, which is requested only after you allow it, nothing is loaded from third-party servers. After following a link, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.
5. Video
The interactive rebase video is hosted on this server and played with the browser’s native video player. No third-party player is embedded, and nothing is loaded until you press play.
6. Your rights
As a data subject you have the right to:
- confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed,
- access to the personal data stored about you,
- rectification of inaccurate personal data,
- erasure of your personal data (right to be forgotten),
- restriction of processing,
- data portability in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format,
- objection to processing based on our legitimate interest, and
- withdrawal of any consent you have given, with effect for the future.
To exercise these rights, a message to info[at]softqo.com is enough. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
7. No automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.
8. Changes
This policy is updated when the way the site works changes. The version published here applies.
