Privacy Notice

Last updated: 6 October 2026

This notice explains which personal data is processed when you visit boris-horn.de. The house is small, and so is the amount of data.

1. Who is responsible

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by STRATO GmbH, Berlin, Germany. Whenever you visit, the server automatically records technical information that your browser transmits, such as your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page requested, the referring page and your browser and operating system. This is necessary to deliver the website and to keep it secure. These log files are not combined with other data and are deleted after a short period in line with the host’s standard retention.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP).

3. Google Analytics – only with your consent

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). It helps me understand how many people visit and how the site is used.

• Google Analytics is only loaded after you click “Certainly” in the cookie notice. If you decline, it is not loaded at all.
• It stores cookies (“_ga” and “_ga_…”) in your browser to recognise returning visitors. These cookies expire after up to two years.
• Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses.
• Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks.
• Analytics data is kept for two months and then deleted automatically.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; FADP). You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via Cookie settings; the analytics cookies are then removed. More information: Google Privacy Policy.

4. Contact by email

If you use the letterbox, your own email program opens and your message is sent directly to me. I use your email address and message only to reply to you and do not pass them on.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in answering your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; FADP).

5. Links to social networks

The links to LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram, Facebook and X are plain links. No data is sent to these networks when you visit this website. Only when you click a link are you taken to the respective platform, whose own privacy policy then applies.

6. Fonts

All fonts are stored on this website itself. No connection is made to external font services such as Google Fonts.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify and erase your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, to data portability and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, simply send me an email. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority, for example the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or the authority in your EU country of residence.
