Privacy Policy

Version of 26 October 2026 · applies to gitbot.eu

This policy explains which personal data is processed when you visit this website or contact us through it. The site is deliberately built without cookies, analytics or tracking scripts — the only data that leaves your browser is what is described below.

1. Controller

Responsible for the processing described here within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR.

2. Hosting and server log files

The site is operated on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, acting as our processor under Art. 28 GDPR. The server is located in Germany. Access logs are written for every request and contain:

• the IP address of the requesting device,
• date and time of the request,
• the requested URL, HTTP method and response status,
• the amount of data transferred,
• the referrer URL, if your browser sends one,
• your browser's user agent string.

The logs are used to deliver the site, to diagnose faults and to defend against attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in secure, stable operation). They are deleted after 90 days. There is no merging of log data with other data sources and no creation of user profiles.

3. Contact form and email

When you submit the form on the services section, we process the data you enter: name, email address, company (optional), topic and message, plus the IP address of the request for rate limiting and abuse prevention. The data is transmitted by email through our mail relay to our mailbox; it is not stored in a database and not used for anything other than handling your request.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request aims at a contract or a quotation, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries) and, for the checkbox you tick before sending, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.

We keep enquiry data until the request is fully processed and any follow-up questions are settled, then delete it. If the correspondence becomes part of a business relationship, statutory retention periods (up to 6 years under § 257 HGB, up to 10 years under § 147 AO) apply for the parts concerned.

4. Web fonts

The pages load the typefaces Inter and JetBrains Mono from Google Fonts. To do so, your browser contacts fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. In that request Google receives your IP address and information about your browser, and can associate the request with other Google services you use. Legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a consistent, fast-rendering appearance). If you do not want this, block third-party fonts in your browser, or read the site with a user stylesheet — the content remains fully accessible without them.

5. Cookies, analytics and local storage

This site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser (no localStorage, no sessionStorage, no tracking pixels). There is no web analytics, no advertising and no social-media plugin. The only client-side JavaScript is a small file that copies a command to your clipboard, opens the screenshot viewer and submits the form. It sends nothing except the form data you submit yourself.

6. Links to other websites

Pages on this site link to GitHub, Docker Hub and similar external services. Those services are separate controllers; once you follow such a link, their own privacy policies apply. Nothing is transmitted to them while you stay on this site.

7. Your rights

You have the right to

• obtain information about the personal data we process about you (Art. 15 GDPR),
• have inaccurate data corrected (Art. 16 GDPR),
• have data erased (Art. 17 GDPR) and processing restricted (Art. 18 GDPR),
• receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR),
• object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR),
• withdraw a consent you have given at any time (Art. 7(3) GDPR).

To exercise any of these, a message to tom.seidel@remus-software.org is enough. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

8. No automated decision-making

We do not use your data for automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

9. Changes to this policy

If the processing or the legal framework changes, this policy is updated on this page. The version date above always refers to the current text.
