What this website collects

This website is designed as a static public information site. It does not provide public user accounts, public comments, advertising profiles, or behavioral tracking.

The web server may process standard technical log data when you visit the site, such as IP address, requested page, date and time, browser user agent, and referring page. These logs are used only for security, diagnostics, abuse prevention, and basic operation of the website.

The on-site search function runs in your browser. Search terms are not sent to a separate search provider by this website.

Cookies and analytics

The public static pages do not intentionally set analytics or advertising cookies. If future analytics are added, this notice should be updated before deployment and any required consent mechanism should be added.

The protected minutes area may use server authentication. Authentication data is used only to control access to member-only material.

Membership payments

If you use the membership payment link, payment is processed by PayPal. PayPal is responsible for its own processing of payment information. ISP may receive transaction details needed to administer membership records and reconcile payments.

External links and embedded content

This website links to external services, including the Fechner Day website and payment services. When you follow an external link, the privacy practices of that external website apply.

Legal basis

Server log processing is based on ISP’s legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and reliable website. Membership payment and membership administration data are processed as necessary for membership administration and related accounting records.

Retention

Technical server logs are retained only for as long as needed for security, diagnostics, and server operation. Membership and payment records are retained for the period required for society administration, accounting, and legal obligations.

Your rights

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, you may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, or objection to processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Changes to this notice

This privacy notice should be reviewed when the website adds new services, analytics, forms, mailing-list integrations, payment tools, or member-account features.
