Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains what data is processed when you visit hantavirus.cc. The short version: as little as technically possible.

Responsible party

The person responsible for data processing on this website is the operator named in the imprint. For privacy-related enquiries, use the contact details listed there.

Hosting and server logs

This website is hosted on a virtual private server at Contabo GmbH (Munich, Germany). When you access the site, your browser automatically transmits certain technical data, including your IP address, the requested URL, the referring URL, your browser type, and the date and time of the request. These are standard server log entries.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in ensuring secure and stable operation of the website). Server logs are retained for a maximum of 14 days and then deleted automatically.

Map tiles — OpenFreeMap

The interactive map loads vector tiles from OpenFreeMap, a free, open-source tile service. When the map is displayed, your browser sends requests to OpenFreeMap's servers, which may receive your IP address. OpenFreeMap does not use cookies and does not require an API key. For details, see openfreemap.org.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in displaying geographic data). A future migration to fully self-hosted map tiles is under consideration.

Fonts

All fonts used on this website (Inter, Inter Tight, JetBrains Mono) are self-hosted. No requests are sent to Google Fonts or any other external font provider.

This data is processed by Google under its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in funding the operation of this free public-health dashboard). If you prefer not to receive personalised ads, you can adjust your settings using the links in the Cookies section above.
