Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. Hetzner processes data on my behalf under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR).

Whenever you open a page, your browser automatically sends information to the web server, which stores it in log files:

  • IP address
  • date and time of the request
  • requested page or file, HTTP status code and transferred data volume
  • referrer URL (the page you came from)
  • browser and operating system (user agent)

These logs are needed to deliver the website, to keep it secure and to analyse errors. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted automatically after 14 days. I do not combine this data with other data sources and do not use it to create profiles.

No cookies, no tracking

bytee.net does not set cookies and does not use any analytics, tracking or advertising services. Fonts, icons and scripts are served from this server, no content is loaded from third-party servers.

The LPIC quizzes and the site search run entirely in your browser. Your answers, results and search terms are not transmitted to the server and are not stored.

Contact by email

If you contact me by email, I process your email address, your message and any other details you include, in order to answer your request. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request relates to a contract. Emails for bytee.net are handled by Tutao GmbH (Tutanota), Deisterstr. 17a, 30449 Hannover, Germany. In addition, Mailgun Technologies, Inc., 112 E Pecan St #1135, San Antonio, TX 78205, USA, is configured as a mail server for bytee.net, so emails may also be received or sent through Mailgun. Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR) and, where the provider is certified, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR). I delete your message once it is no longer needed, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

Articles contain links to other websites, and the social media icons in the header are plain links. No data is transferred to these providers until you click such a link. After that, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

Your rights

You have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). You have the right to object at any time to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21). To exercise these rights, simply send an email to contact@bytee.net.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht, Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany).
