Imprint & Privacy

Responsible for content

Responsible for the content pursuant to Section 18 (2) of the German Interstate Media Treaty (MStV): Jakob Ehe, address as above.

Consumer dispute resolution

I am neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board within the meaning of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG).

Liability for content

As a service provider I am responsible for my own content on these pages in accordance with general laws pursuant to Section 7 (1) DDG. Under Sections 8 to 10 DDG, however, I am not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information, or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. Any liability in this respect is only possible from the point in time at which a concrete infringement becomes known. Upon becoming aware of such violations, I will remove the content in question without delay.

Liability for links

This website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content I have no influence. I therefore cannot accept any liability for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking; no unlawful content was identifiable at that time. Permanent monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, I will remove such links without delay.

Copyright

The content and works created by the site operator on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, editing, distribution and any kind of exploitation beyond the limits of copyright require the prior written consent of the respective author or creator. Where content on this site was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected and such content is identified as third-party content. Should you nonetheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please let me know and I will remove the content in question without delay.

Who is responsible

The controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website within the meaning of the GDPR is: Jakob Ehe · Richard-Strauss-Straße 36 · 81677 Munich · Germany. Email: mail@jakobehe.com

Scope & principles

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. I process such data only in accordance with the GDPR, the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).

This website is deliberately kept data-minimal: it uses no cookies, no advertising or marketing tools, and no cross-site tracking. The only processing that takes place is described in the sections below.

Hosting via Vercel

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA (“Vercel”). Vercel processes the technical data required to deliver the website to your browser (see “Server log files” below). The site is served from Vercel’s Frankfurt (Germany, fra1) region, so requests are processed on servers within the EU where possible.

Because Vercel is a US company, personal data (in particular your IP address) may also be transferred to or accessed from the United States. Appropriate safeguards for such transfers are provided in particular by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR — and, where applicable, Vercel’s certification under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. A data-processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with Vercel.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — my legitimate interest in a reliable, secure and efficient presentation of my website.

Access data

When you visit the site, the hosting infrastructure automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits, in so-called server log files: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name / requesting page, date and time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources and is used only to ensure the technically error-free operation, security and optimisation of the website.

Vercel Web Analytics (cookie-less)

This website uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-less analytics feature provided by Vercel. It does not use cookies and stores no information on your device, uses no persistent identifiers, and does not track you across websites or over time. To produce aggregate statistics (such as page views, referrers, approximate region/country derived from the IP address, device type and browser) Vercel processes technical request data. Your IP address is used only transiently; unique visits are counted using a non-reversible, regularly rotated hash that is discarded (typically within 24 hours).

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in a needs-based, statistically sound design of the website. As no information is stored on or read from your terminal device, consent under Section 25 (1) TDDDG is not required.

Getting in touch

When you use the “Bring a challenge” form or the listed email address, the details you provide (your email address, your message and any information you choose to include) are processed solely in order to handle your enquiry and any follow-up. The form is delivered by email via Resend (Resend, Inc., USA) acting as a processor on my behalf; no data is used for advertising or shared beyond what is necessary to deliver your message. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR where your request relates to a (pre-)contractual measure, otherwise Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries). This data is deleted once it is no longer required, unless statutory retention periods apply.

Self-hosted fonts

This website uses the IBM Plex Mono and Newsreader typefaces. The font files are self-hosted and served directly from this website’s own domain; no request is made to Google or any third-party font server when a page loads, and no data (in particular your IP address) is transmitted to Google for the purpose of displaying fonts.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in a consistent, appealing presentation of the website.

SSL / TLS

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” prefix and the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar. When encryption is active, the data you transmit to this site cannot be read by third parties.

Rights of data subjects

Within the scope of the applicable law you have, at any time, the right to:

• information about your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR);
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR);
• erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR);
• restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR);
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR);
• object to processing based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR);
• withdraw any consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR).

To exercise any of these rights, an email to mail@jakobehe.com is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for me is: Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.

How long data is kept

Unless a more specific period is stated above, your personal data remains with me only until the purpose for its processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or withdraw your consent, your data is deleted — unless I have other legally permissible reasons for storing it (e.g. statutory tax or commercial retention periods), in which case deletion takes place once those reasons cease to apply.

Changes to this policy

I reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements, or to reflect changes to my services. The current version applies to your next visit. Last updated · July 2026.
