Visiting the website
The published website uses Cloudflare Workers. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. To deliver the pages and protect them from attacks, Cloudflare processes technical access data, particularly IP addresses and information about the page requested.
This processing supports the secure and reliable operation of our website. Its legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Optional visitor analytics are not used.
Cloudflare describes its processing of customer data and possible international transfers in its data processing agreement. For relevant transfers, the agreement provides for safeguards including EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Retention depends on the purpose of processing, contractual provisions and legal requirements; the agreement does not specify a single retention period in days for all technical data.
Further information: Cloudflare privacy policy ↗ and Data processing agreement including transfer safeguards ↗.
Fonts and images are loaded through our website. Our website code does not set cookies or store reading history. The progress bar and section highlighting operate entirely in your browser.
When you email us
Our email account uses Apple iCloud Mail. For users in Germany, the provider is Apple Distribution International Ltd., Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Republic of Ireland. Cloudflare manages the domain’s DNS records; according to the configured mail servers, incoming email is delivered directly to Apple.
We use your email address, message and any information you voluntarily provide to handle your enquiry and respond where appropriate. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in communication and improving the website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Contacting us is voluntary. Please send only the information needed for your enquiry.
We delete ordinary enquiries and feedback no later than three months after we have finished handling them, or sooner if they are no longer needed. This includes attachments and copies of replies. Where a legal obligation or a specific need to retain evidence requires longer retention, we keep the relevant records only for as long as necessary.
Apple may also have data processed outside the European Economic Area. For international transfers of personal data collected in the European Economic Area, Apple cites Standard Contractual Clauses. Apple describes its own retention in relation to its purposes and legal requirements; our three-month correspondence rule is not a commitment covering all of the provider’s technical operational data.
Further information: Apple privacy policy ↗ and iCloud terms ↗. A copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses used by Apple can be requested through the Apple privacy contact ↗ service.
Feedback and AI
Messages are not automatically forwarded to an AI service. When Mario discusses a question with his AI assistant Aik, he summarises it in his own words without personal or identifying details. If that is not possible, he does not share the enquiry in this way.
We publish your message, name or submitted screenshots only with your prior consent. You may withdraw that consent with effect for the future.
External links
When you open an external link, you visit another operator’s website. That operator’s privacy information applies there. The destination provider receives technical access data even when the link opens in a new tab.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability.
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.
To exercise these rights, contact prompt.manual@marioobst.com. You may also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
Additional information on Swiss data protection
Where the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection applies, the rights it provides also apply. Subject to the respective conditions, you may in particular request access, rectification, erasure or destruction, and the release or transfer of your personal data.
You may report possible violations to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) ↗ . The Swiss correspondence address does not affect the operator’s residence in Germany.
