Privacy
Policy

No tracking, no marketing cookies, no profiling. What we nonetheless process — and what your rights are under the GDPR.

General

The protection of your personal data is important to us. We process your data exclusively on the basis of statutory provisions (GDPR, German Federal Data Protection Act BDSG, Digital Services Act DDG). In this privacy policy we inform you of the most important aspects of data processing in connection with our website.

Hosting & server logs

When this website is accessed, so-called server log files are automatically captured by the hosting provider. These contain:

  • IP address of the requesting computer (shortened/anonymised)
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the requested file
  • Browser and operating system used
  • Referrer URL

Processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) to ensure smooth operation and to defend against attacks. The logs are deleted or anonymised after a maximum of 7 days.

Fonts (hosted locally)

This website uses fonts that are stored on and delivered from its own web server. No connection to servers of Google or any other third party is established when a page is loaded, and no personal data is transferred to third parties for this purpose.

Interactive map (Leaflet · CartoDB · OpenStreetMap)

The page Quarter (viertel.html) embeds an interactive map of the Maxvorstadt that loads the following external resources:

  • Leaflet — JavaScript library by Volodymyr Agafonkin Limited, loaded via the content delivery network unpkg.com (npm, Inc., 22 Cortlandt Street, New York, NY 10007, USA).
  • Map tiles — provided by CARTO (Carto DB Inc., 75 Broad Street, Suite 504, New York, NY 10004, USA) via basemaps.cartocdn.com. The style used is "CartoDB Positron".
  • Geographic data — from OpenStreetMap, an open mapping data project, licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL). Maintained by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge CB4 0WS, United Kingdom.
  • Marker clustering — the Leaflet.markercluster extension is also loaded via unpkg.com.

When the map is loaded, technically necessary data (in particular your IP address, browser identifier and timestamp) is transmitted to the respective servers in order to load the libraries and map tiles. No such data is stored by us; we have no control over processing by the named providers.

Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in an informative, geographically anchored presentation of the Maxvorstadt). If you do not wish to load the map, please do not visit the Quarter page — the other pages of the website work without the map integration. A fully self-hosted variant with our own tile server is technically possible; please let us know if you would prefer this.

Further privacy information from the providers:

Event listings (Google Calendar API)

Some pages (home, events, galleries, exhibitions) display current events from a public Google calendar. To do so, your browser retrieves the event data directly via the Google Calendar API (www.googleapis.com). In the process your IP address is transmitted to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; a transfer to Google LLC in the USA is possible (Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the legitimate interest lies in an always up-to-date event listing. No cookies are set. Further information: policies.google.com/privacy.

Email contact

If you contact us by email at admin@maxvorstadtvibes.de, your details are stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR; the legitimate interest lies in answering your message. No data is passed on to third parties. Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose and no statutory retention obligations are opposed.

Cookies

This website does not set tracking or marketing cookies. Technical cookies are used only where they are strictly necessary for functionality (session, language preference if applicable). Consent is therefore not required.

Analytics tools

No analytics tools, tracking pixels or social media plugins are deployed.
