Who is responsible

Website delivery and security
When your browser requests pages or images, the hosting infrastructure necessarily receives connection information such as your IP address, requested resource, request time and browser-supplied technical headers. This information is used to deliver the website and protect its operation. Where security logs are retained, they should be limited to the period needed for troubleshooting, abuse prevention or applicable legal obligations.
The legal basis for necessary delivery and proportionate security processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: our legitimate interest in providing a reliable, secure publication. Hosting and technical service providers may process connection information on our behalf under applicable data-processing arrangements.
The local manuscript tool
The contact tool runs in your browser. It uses the values you enter to generate a plain-text preview. The tool does not submit those values to a server, store them in localStorage or transmit them to the editorial team. Your browser or device may independently offer autofill, session restoration or clipboard features under its own settings.
Copy message writes text to your clipboard only after you select that action. Download text creates a file on your device. Clear the draft, clipboard or downloaded file yourself if you do not want those copies retained. Other applications with access to your clipboard or device are outside this tool’s control.
Email correspondence
If you choose to email us, we receive your address, message, attachments and associated email metadata. We process these to answer enquiries, evaluate corrections and maintain relevant correspondence, generally under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Article 6(1)(b) may apply where correspondence concerns steps toward a contract, and Article 6(1)(c) where retention is legally required.
We retain correspondence only as long as needed for its purpose, any continuing editorial issue, legal retention duties or the establishment and defence of legal claims. Access is limited to people and service providers who need it for those purposes. Sending a message does not by itself authorise publication of your personal details.
Analytics, storage and external links
The reading-room code does not include analytics, advertising pixels, third-party embeds or cross-site tracking. Images, scripts and styles are requested from this site. See the cookies page for the distinction between cookies, browser caching and device storage.
External references are ordinary links. Following one sends you to another operator, whose privacy rules and technical practices apply there. No external page is embedded merely because its source is cited here.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions of the GDPR, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction and data portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it without affecting prior lawful processing. We may need proportionate information to verify a request.
You may complain to a data protection supervisory authority, including the Sächsische Datenschutz- und Transparenzbeauftragte in Saxony. See the authority’s official website for current contact and complaint information.
Changes
If the website’s processing practices change, this notice should be updated before the new processing begins. Please contact us if an observed feature appears inconsistent with this explanation.
