Summary: noocene.org is a static website. It sets no cookies and dispenses with third-party tracking. For audience measurement, the self-hosted, privacy-friendly open-source tool Umami is used, which operates without cookies and without personal profiles. On access to the page, brief server logs are recorded by the hosting provider Vercel Inc. (USA) for technical delivery. If you contact us by e-mail, your data are processed exclusively for handling your query.
For full details on legal form, commercial register number and VAT ID see the Legal notice.
When a page of noocene.org is accessed, the hosting provider automatically collects the following data for technical delivery of the website and stores them in server logs:
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in technically error-free delivery of the website and in detecting and repelling abusive access).
Storage period: Vercel generally stores technical logs for a short period (typically a few hours up to a maximum of 30 days); for details see the Vercel Privacy Policy.
If you contact us by e-mail at office@noocene.org or another address given in the legal notice, the data you transmit (in particular e-mail address, name, content of the message) are processed exclusively for handling your query.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures or contract performance) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries).
Storage period: The data are deleted as soon as the enquiry has been dealt with and no statutory retention duties oppose deletion.
For capturing general usage statistics (page views, time on page, approximate country of origin, browser and operating-system types used), noocene.org uses the open-source tool Umami in a self-hosted instance at the address umami.digioneer.pro. Umami is operated here by the same controller as this platform; no transmission to third parties takes place.
Umami dispenses entirely with cookies and with personal profiles. Instead of the IP address itself, a daily rotated, anonymised hash value is generated, from which a single session key is derived; a re-identification of concrete persons from it is not possible. Personal data within the meaning of the GDPR are not processed in the context of this audience measurement.
Data points collected:
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a privacy-friendly, statistical audience measurement for improving the offering).
Storage period: Aggregated, non-personal statistics are retained for evaluation purposes without time limit; session-specific hash values are invalidated after 24 hours.
Further information: Umami project and how it works.
