02 / Delivering the website
When your browser requests a page or local asset, the hosting infrastructure necessarily processes technical connection information. This can include your IP address, request time, requested resource, browser information and response status. Processing needed to deliver and protect the website is based on legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: providing reliable information and preventing misuse.
Technical information should be accessible only to authorized service providers and personnel as required for hosting, security and troubleshooting. Any retained logs should be limited to what is necessary for those purposes and deleted when no longer needed, unless a legal duty or a specific security incident justifies longer retention. This static website does not itself implement a server log retention schedule.
03 / The local Field Note tool
The Field Note tool constructs a summary in your browser. Its script does not submit your entries, use analytics, or save your note in cookies or localStorage. Clicking copy writes the current summary to your device clipboard when browser permission and support allow. Clicking download creates a plain-text file on your device. These actions do not send the note to the publisher.
Your browser, extensions, operating system or clipboard synchronization service may handle locally entered text according to their own settings. Avoid sensitive information. Deleting a downloaded file or clearing clipboard history is your responsibility. The tool is not encrypted document storage.
04 / Email correspondence
If you choose to email us, we process your address, message and any information you include to address your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for ordinary editorial correspondence, or Article 6(1)(b) where handling a request is necessary for a contract or pre-contractual steps. Legal retention obligations may require processing under Article 6(1)(c).
Correspondence is kept only as long as needed for the inquiry, related follow-up, applicable legal duties or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Access is restricted to those handling the matter and necessary service providers. Do not send confidential venue records or personal data about other people unless you are entitled to share it.
05 / Cookies, third parties and transfers
The supplied site code sets no analytics or advertising cookies and loads no third-party scripts, fonts or embedded media. See the cookie policy for browser-storage details. Following an external link connects you to another operator, whose privacy rules apply there.
Service providers may process information as necessary to operate hosting or email. Where a transfer outside the European Economic Area requires safeguards, applicable GDPR transfer requirements must be met, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards. This page does not imply that clicking an ordinary external reference sends your Field Note.
06 / Your rights
Subject to applicable conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests for reasons relating to your particular situation. Where consent is the basis for processing, you may withdraw it without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
You may complain to a supervisory authority, including the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. Information is available at datenschutz-berlin.de. We may need proportionate identity verification before disclosing personal information.
07 / Scope and changes
We do not use the supplied site code for automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects. This policy may be updated when processing changes. Material changes should be reflected here before the affected processing begins.
