Privacy Policy
This website is deliberately quiet. It sets no cookies, uses no third-party trackers, shows no advertising and embeds nothing from other companies; visits are counted with cookieless, self-hosted analytics (Grynlume). Fonts, images and films are served from our own web space.

Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany. When you open a page, the web server processes technical data that your browser sends automatically: IP address, date and time, the page requested, the referring page, browser type and operating system. This is necessary to deliver the site and to keep it secure (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The host stores these log files for a limited period and then deletes them.
Web analytics (Grynlume)
Grynlume is a self-hosted analytics tool operated by Thorsten Meyer on his own server in Germany. It counts visits, pages, sources and devices without cookies and without storing anything in your browser.
When you open a page, your browser sends the page address, the referring page, your browser type, your screen width and your IP address to that server (grynlume.grimfaste.com). The IP address and browser type are combined with a random secret that changes every day and are stored only as a hash; the raw IP address is never written to disk. Each daily secret is deleted after the following day, so you cannot be recognised from one day to the next or across other websites. How far you scroll and how long a page is actively open are stored as figures on that page view, not as a browsing history. A click on an outbound link or a file download is recorded the same way.
To keep automated traffic out of the statistics, user-agent strings and the host names of referring websites are sent to TypeSafe (typesafe.ai), whose service classifies them. No IP address and no identifier is sent with them.
Requests to the analytics server pass through Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, which routes traffic to the server and provides DDoS protection. Cloudflare processes connection data (including your IP address) in transit on our behalf under a data-processing agreement; transfers to the USA are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
Statistics are kept for 14 months (at the latest until the end of the following calendar month); aggregated counts without any visitor identifier are kept indefinitely. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in understanding which content is read. You may object at any time by writing to contact@tidvane.com.
If you write to us, we use your address and message only to answer you (Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR) and delete the correspondence when it is no longer needed, unless statutory retention periods apply.
Cookies and tracking
No cookies and no third-party trackers. Nothing is stored on your device, and no data is passed to advertising services. Visits are counted only with the cookieless, self-hosted analytics described under “Web analytics (Grynlume)” above.
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 15–21 GDPR). To exercise them, write to contact@tidvane.com.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany).
