This website provides only static files for download. There are no user accounts, no login, no forms, no cookies, no analytics or tracking services, no advertising networks and no embedded third-party content. No data is passed on to third parties and no profiles are created.
When you retrieve a file, your device transmits technically necessary data, which the web server logs: the date and time of the request, the requested address, the amount of data transferred, the HTTP status code, the reported browser identifier and the IP address. With the web hosting package used, I have no influence on how this logging is set up; its scope and retention period are determined by the hosting provider's specifications.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure and trouble-free operation of this website and in protection against misuse.
This website is hosted by Bero Host in Germany. The provider processes the data mentioned above on my behalf on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
Some of the programs offered here check at startup whether a newer version is available. To do so, a small text file is retrieved from this server. No device IDs, serial numbers or other identifiers are transmitted – technically, the request cannot be distinguished from an ordinary page request. There is no server-side counting or attribution of individual devices.
This website can be accessed both unencrypted (HTTP) and encrypted
(HTTPS). Unencrypted access is offered because older devices such as the
PlayStation 3 do not support today's encryption methods. Since only
public files are delivered and no input is accepted, no confidential data is
transmitted in the process. Updates that programs obtain through their
built-in update function are verified by digital signatures, regardless of
the transmission path. The packages offered under /github/ are
not signed; when they are downloaded over unencrypted HTTP, their integrity
is not ensured. Links to GitHub lead to a service of GitHub, Inc.; its
privacy policy applies there.
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17) and restriction of processing (Art. 18), as well as the right to object to processing (Art. 21). To do so, please write to the email address given above.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The competent authority is the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HmbBfDI).
