Privacy
Which data arise when visiting these pages – and which do not.
This translation is for information only; the German version is binding.
This website is built so that as little data as possible arises: no cookies, no tracking, no analytics tools, no fonts, scripts or pictures from other servers, no contact form and no user accounts. What is processed nevertheless is described here.

2. Hosting and server log files
The website is hosted by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin. When the pages are called up, your browser transmits technically necessary data to the server, which can be stored there in log files:
- IP address of the requesting device
- Date and time of access
- page or file called up, amount of data transferred, status code
- previously visited page (referrer), browser and operating system
STRATO anonymizes the IP address already when storing it, so that no conclusion about your person is possible. The data are not merged with other data.
3. Storage in the browser
Some convenience functions remember your settings only locally in your browser. This information is not transmitted to the server or to third parties:
| Entry | Storage | What for |
|---|---|---|
chessophia-design | localStorage | the design chosen (Paper or Owl night). Without a choice the site follows the setting of your system, and nothing is stored. |
chessophia-pages-1chessophia-files-1 | CacheStorage | copies of the pages and files of chessophia you have opened (service worker) – so they work without the internet and as an app. They are files of this website only, nothing about you; 150 pages at most, the oldest go. |
Entries in localStorage and in CacheStorage remain stored until you delete them.
The storage serves solely to provide the function you use (§ 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG). You can delete these data at any time via the settings of your browser (“delete website data”); the pages then keep working, only without remembered settings.
4. Contact by email
If you write me an email, I process your information (address, content of the message) only to answer your request (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and delete it as soon as it is no longer needed for that and no statutory retention obligations exist.
5. External links
Some links lead to other websites, such as chesstoteles, chessepolis or Stockfish. Only when you click such a link do you leave these pages; the privacy notices of the respective provider apply there.
6. Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). To do so, contact the address given above.
You can also lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), for example the authority of your place of residence or the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (LDI NRW), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, poststelle@ldi.nrw.de, www.ldi.nrw.de.
