Privacy Policy

This English version is provided for convenience; the German version is authoritative.

1. Controller

The controller for data processing on this website is:

CloudMcFly
Alexander Rütz
Irschenhauser Straße 25
81379 Munich
Germany

2. General information

We process personal data only to the extent required to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The legal bases are, in particular, Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR (consent), Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (contract and pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted on servers operated by Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestraße 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany. With every request, the browser automatically transmits data that is stored in server log files:

IP address of the requesting device
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the requested page
Browser and operating system used

Processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the reliable and secure operation of the website. Log files are deleted on a rolling basis.

4. Contact by email or phone

If you contact us by email or phone, we process the data you provide (e.g. name, email address, company, enquiry) to handle your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR (pre-contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry).

5. Appointment booking via Microsoft Bookings

We use Microsoft Bookings, a service of Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd., One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland, to schedule introductory calls. When you book, Microsoft processes the data you enter (name, email address, selected slot, optional notes). The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Transfers to third countries (in particular the USA) cannot be excluded; Microsoft is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Further information: Microsoft Privacy Statement.

6. AI assistant

This website offers an AI assistant that is clearly labelled as such. When you use it, your chat messages are transmitted to our own backend (hosted with Hetzner, Germany) and processed there to generate a reply. To generate replies we use a large language model provided by Anthropic PBC (USA); your chat messages are transmitted to Anthropic for this purpose. Anthropic is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Please do not enter personal, confidential or client-specific information in the chat. Chat histories are stored on our server to assure the quality of the assistant and to prevent misuse, and are deleted once this purpose no longer applies. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functioning information service). AI-generated answers may be inaccurate and do not constitute advice.

7. Storage and deletion

Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies and no statutory retention periods prevent deletion. Email enquiries are deleted after 12 months at the latest unless an ongoing business relationship exists.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the following rights:

Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
Objection (Art. 21 GDPR)

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

9. Data security

This website uses TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” in the address bar and the lock icon in your browser. Data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties in transit.
