Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

1. Controller

Yazan Moussa, Friedrich-Alfred-Str. 158, 47226 Duisburg, Germany

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is delivered through Vercel Inc. (USA). When you open a page, the hosting infrastructure processes technical data that your browser sends: IP address, date and time, requested URL, referrer, browser type and operating system. We use this to deliver the site, keep it secure and fix errors. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and working website). The provider keeps such logs only for a limited time. Vercel is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which is the basis for the transfer to the USA.

3. Article content and images (WordPress backend)

Our articles are managed in a WordPress installation hosted by Hostinger (Hostinger International Ltd., Cyprus) and shown on this website. Images in articles are loaded from our own subdomain cms.blogtechi.com, so your IP address is also processed by this hosting provider when you view an article. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4. Contact by email or contact form

If you email us or use the contact form, we process the data you send (name, email address, message, and the time of the message) to answer your request. Our mailboxes are hosted by Hostinger. The contact form sends your message to our mailbox by email; it is not stored in a database on this website. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for requests about a contract or pre-contract steps, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We delete the messages when your request is settled, unless law requires us to keep them.

5. Newsletter

If you enter your email address in the newsletter form, we store the address, the status of your consent, timestamps (request and confirmation), the version of the signup wording and a random unsubscribe token (used for the unsubscribe link in every newsletter) in a database at Neon (Neon, LLC, part of the Databricks group, USA). The confirmation uses a separate random token of which we store only a hash. We first send you a confirmation email, and later the newsletters, through the SMTP server of our email provider Hostinger. Only when you confirm the link in that email (double opt-in) do we add you to the mailing list. Without confirmation you receive no newsletter. The confirmation link is valid for 48 hours. An address that is never confirmed stays stored with the status "pending" or "unverified" and receives no newsletter until you confirm; we delete it on request. We keep a confirmed address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Giving us your address is voluntary; without it we cannot send you the newsletter. To protect the forms against misuse, your IP address is held briefly in the working memory of the server for rate limiting (it is not stored in the database), and a counter without personal data limits how many mails the forms can send per hour and per day. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link. After you unsubscribe we keep only your address, the status "unsubscribed" and the timestamps so that we do not email you again. Addresses entered before this procedure was introduced count as unconfirmed and receive no newsletters. You can withdraw consent at any time and ask us to delete your address: email info@blogtechi.com.

Legal basis is your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, and for proof of consent Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The transfer to Neon and Databricks in the USA relies on the certification of Databricks, Inc. under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

6. Cookies, analytics and advertising

As of the date above, the public Blogtechi website does not embed analytics, tracking or advertising services. This statement does not cover external websites that you visit through links. If we add such services in the future (for example Google Analytics or Google AdSense), we will update this policy and ask for your consent first where the law requires it.

Consent management (Cookiebot CMP)

We use the consent management platform Cookiebot by Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, to manage consent. On your first visit, a banner asks whether you agree to non-essential services (for example statistics or marketing). You can allow only technically necessary services and keep using the website without restriction. Your choice is stored in a technically necessary cookie (CookieConsent, up to 12 months) so it is respected on later visits. Services that require consent load only after you agree. The legal basis for processing related to consent management is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (documenting consent) together with Section 25(2) no. 2 TDDDG; storing your choice is technically required to provide the service you requested.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time with effect for the future, via or the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

7. Your rights

Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21 GDPR). Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. To use your rights, email info@blogtechi.com.

You can complain to a data protection authority. For us, this is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (ldi.nrw.de).

8. No automated decisions

We do not make solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

9. International transfers and further information

For recipients in the USA, the adequacy decisions mentioned above (Article 45 GDPR) apply only within the scope of a valid, relevant certification. Transfers not covered by an adequacy decision require safeguards under Article 46 GDPR, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Contact us at the email address above for information about the safeguards used for your data and a copy of them.

You are not required to enter into a contract just to browse this website. However, the website cannot be delivered without necessary connection data. Contact and newsletter details are voluntary; we cannot handle the relevant request without the required details. You may complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the country of your habitual residence, place of work or the alleged infringement.

10. Changes

We update this policy when our services or the law change. The current version is always on this page.
