Business offers run through K-I-Soft IT&Holding GmbH. Its details are in the legal notice of k-i-soft.ch.

Privacy at a glance

This site sets no cookies and embeds no analytics, advertising or tracking services. Fonts and images are served from the site itself, with no connection to Google Fonts or any other third party. Personal data only arises in the web server access logs and when you write to me or call me. The governing law is the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Hosting

The site is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The contracting party is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg, acting as processor. The AWS account is run by K-I-Soft IT&Holding GmbH in Kehrsatz, which I own.

• The site files and the access logs are stored in the AWS Zurich region (eu-central-2).
• Delivery runs through Amazon CloudFront. A request is answered by the CloudFront location closest to you. Such locations exist worldwide, including outside Switzerland and the EU. For these transfers AWS relies on standard contractual clauses and is certified under the Data Privacy Framework.

Access logs

For every request CloudFront writes a line to an access log. Among other things it contains:

• the IP address, unshortened, and the country and network derived from it
• date and time
• the requested address, the status code and the amount of data transferred
• the referring page (referrer)
• browser and operating system (user agent)

The logs serve the operation and security of the site and a simple statistic. They are analysed with Munot, a K-I-Soft tool of my own that also runs in AWS Zurich. Munot counts page views and visitors and tells people, search engines and AI crawlers apart. The IP address is used to count distinct visitors and to check whether a crawler really comes from the provider it claims. No profiles are built, and the logs are not combined with other data.

The IP address is neither shortened nor anonymised. The logs stay in the site storage for 180 days. For the analysis Munot copies them into storage of its own, also in Zurich: the raw data stays there for 90 days, the processed logs including the IP address for 400 days. After that only counts without personal data remain. The logs are not passed on to third parties.

Contact by email or phone

If you write to me or call me, I only use your details to answer your request. I delete them once they are no longer needed for that, unless a legal duty requires keeping them longer.

Links to other sites

The site links to LinkedIn, GitHub, YouTube and k-i-soft.ch. These are plain links without embedded content. Only when you follow a link do the privacy rules of that site apply.

Your rights

You can ask what data I hold about you, request its correction or deletion and object to its processing. If you live in the EU, you also have the rights under the GDPR. A message to istvan@kappelmayer.ch is enough.

Complaints go to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, www.edoeb.admin.ch). From the EU you can also contact the supervisory authority of your country.
