Wolfgang Lonien

This is the weblog of Wolfgang Lonien. Welcome.

I\’m responsible for all content here, but not for any other content to which links from here could lead you.

I\’m also the server and domain admin for the lonien.de domain, but again, I\’m not responsible for content provided by any others (like family members or anyone else who would get a web or mail presence here on lonien.de). Their content is theirs; my content is mine, simple as that.

A word about the GDPR:

We don\’t collect, share, or sell anything you might type in here. We do however use cookies, because this is the way our (and millions of other) WordPress blog software works. We also use content from other sites, like Flickr, Wikiloops, or Google (fonts only), to name a few, so to prevent them \”tracking\” you (which we don\’t and never will), we recommend that you secure your browsers accordingly.

If you left any private information like your name here in comments, and want that information to be removed, drop us an email, and we will respond to that, and act according to the GDPR.

Not really sure yet about encryption. Nothing here is considered as important enough as to hide, or scramble it, and the additional overhead for encryption, like power consumption alone, could easily run small countries. So I\’m not sure if that\’s worth it. But we might go and add encryption and certificates, so that you can use https instead of the normal http protocol.

Like I wrote above, opinions are mine – sue me for them.

Ok, enough of that boring \”legal\” stuff.

Beside my family, I have some other hobbies, like photography, music, my motorcycle, or things like free and open source software. So I might blog about these topics, and/or add own pages and/or blogs for any of these. Time will tell.

Questions? Send me an email to myfirstname at mylastname dot mycountrycode (hint: look at the url of this web page for help). I will also send you my address in case you need that.

Thanks for visiting.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
