Legal basis
The legal basis for the following explanations is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). If you use the website outside the Federal Republic of Germany, other or supplementary regulations may apply.

The website ironmind-chess.com
No cookies, no external services
The website does not set any cookies and does not store anything on your device. All fonts and scripts are loaded from our own server; no third-party content (e.g. font services, video platforms, social networks) is embedded.
Hosting
The website is hosted on a server in Germany operated by dogado GmbH, Antonio-Segni-Straße 11, 44263 Dortmund, Germany. A data processing agreement is in place with dogado.
Server log files
When you visit the website, the server stores technically necessary information transmitted by your browser: browser type and version, operating system, page requested, referrer URL, IP address, and the date and time of the request. This data is used solely to ensure the secure and stable operation of the website and is not combined with other data. It is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for this purpose. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the stability and security of the website.
Anonymous visitor statistics
We count page views directly on our server, without cookies and without any external service. We store the date and time, the page viewed, the domain of the referring page and a visitor ID. This ID is a SHA-256 hash of the IP address, browser identifier, date and a secret random value; it changes daily and cannot be traced back to the IP address. The IP address itself is not stored. The anonymized counts are kept permanently for statistical purposes. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in understanding and improving our offering. As no information is stored on or read from your device, no consent under Section 25 of the German TDDDG is required.
Your rights
You have the right to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Please contact mail@berthold-metz.de. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg.
