Privacy policy for this website

Last updated: October 31, 2026

This policy covers the website markantsoftware.de. Our apps have their own policies: HausHelden and Bookjournal.

1. Controller

We have not appointed a data protection officer because we are not required to. If you have any privacy questions, just write to the address above.

2. In short

• This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking services.
• We do not embed external fonts, videos, maps or social media plugins.
• Visiting the site only creates technically necessary access data at our hosting provider.

3. Hosting and access data

The website is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Cloudflare Pages”) and delivered through Cloudflare’s network. For every request, Cloudflare processes technically necessary data:

• the IP address of the requesting device,
• date and time of access,
• the requested address and the amount of data transferred,
• browser type and operating system (user agent) and the previously visited page (referrer), if sent.

This processing serves to deliver the website securely and reliably and to fend off attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is the secure operation of the website. We do not analyse this data ourselves or combine it with other data. Cloudflare keeps it only briefly according to its own deletion periods.

Cloudflare processes the data on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR). Data may be transferred to the USA. The transfer is based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, under which Cloudflare is certified, and additionally on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. More information: Cloudflare privacy policy.

4. Contacting us by email

When you email us, we process your email address, your name (if given) and the content of your message in order to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request concerns a contract or steps towards one, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our interest in answering enquiries).

Emails to addresses at markantsoftware.de are forwarded through the forwarding service of our domain registrar Porkbun, LLC (USA) to a Google (Gmail) mailbox. Messages are processed on these providers’ servers, including in the USA. We delete your message once your request has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations (e.g. for business correspondence) apply.
