Privacy notice
Last updated: October 2026
The short version, in three sentences
This site sets no cookies, counts no visitors and loads nothing from third-party servers. Personal data only arises if you write to me yourself through the contact form. Your language choice stays in your browser and never reaches me.
1. Controller
Nico C. Rossel, Gartestr. 5, 37130 Gleichen, Germany. Email: kontakt@n-developing.de
2. Access data (server logs)
When you open this site, my host (IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany) stores technically necessary access data in server logs: IP address, time, address requested, amount of data transferred, browser and operating system. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR — my legitimate interest in secure, error-free operation. I do not analyse this data and do not combine it with anything else.
3. Contact form
If you use the form, I process what you enter: name, email address, topic, your company if you choose to give it, and your message. The data is processed on my server and forwarded to me by email. It goes to no third party. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual measure) or (f). Without these details I cannot reply.
4. Spam protection without third parties
To keep automated submissions out I use a form field that is invisible to people, a minimum time between opening and sending, and a short-lived limit per IP address. No CAPTCHA and no third-party service is involved. The shortened IP information needed for this is kept for a few minutes only.
5. Retention
I keep enquiries as long as needed to handle them and answer follow-up questions, and beyond that only where the law requires it. Server logs are deleted by the host after a short period.
6. No cookies, no tracking
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or social media services. That is also why there is no consent banner — there is nothing for you to consent to.
7. Nothing from third-party servers
Fonts, styles, scripts and images sit on the same server as the page. No font is loaded from Google Fonts and no third-party content is embedded. Your IP address therefore reaches nobody but my host.
8. What stays in your browser
Your language choice (German or English) is stored in your browser's local storage so you don't have to make it again on every visit. That entry never leaves your browser and is not sent to me. You can delete it at any time through your browser settings.
9. Linked websites
Links to n-developing.info, n-developing.store and to projects lead to my own or third-party websites with their own privacy notices. A connection there is only made once you click such a link.
10. Your rights
You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). A short email is enough. You may also complain to a data protection authority — the competent one here is the Data Protection Commissioner for Lower Saxony.
11. Encryption
This site is served over HTTPS only. Requests over http are redirected to the encrypted version.
