Privacy notice

1. Controller

The controller in the sense of Art. 4 (7) GDPR is:

Software by Design GbR
Husumer Baum 2
24837 Schleswig, Germany
Email: datenschutz@software-by-design.de

2. Scope of this notice

This notice describes how personal data is processed when you visit this documentation site. It does not cover the Nextcloud apps themselves — those run inside your own Nextcloud instance, and the controller for any data processed by them is the organisation operating that Nextcloud instance.

3. Cookies & local storage

This site sets no cookies and writes nothing to local storage. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.

4. Analytics & tracking

We use no web analytics on this site — no Matomo, no Plausible, no Google Analytics, no fingerprinting, no pixels. We also do not embed third-party fonts, social-media widgets, or advertising scripts.

5. Server log files

Our hosting provider records technical access logs in order to operate the service securely. These logs typically include:

• Date and time of the request
• The requested URL and HTTP method
• HTTP status code and amount of data transferred
• The referring URL (if sent by the browser)
• Browser identification (user agent)
• The IP address of the requesting system

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure operation of the website and the detection and defence against attacks on the technical infrastructure. Log data is stored for a maximum of seven days and then deleted automatically.

6. Contact by email

If you contact us by email — for example via the addresses listed in our Imprint — the data you transmit (your email address, the contents of the message, any attachments, and time of receipt) will be processed for the purpose of answering your request.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (pre-contractual / contractual measures) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering inquiries). The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required, unless statutory retention periods apply.

Note: data transmitted by email is not technically protected by default. We recommend not sending personal or confidential data that you wish to keep secret in plain-text email.

7. Hosting

This site is hosted on infrastructure operated for Software by Design GbR. The hosting provider acts as a processor in the sense of Art. 28 GDPR; an order processing agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) is in place. Data is processed exclusively within the European Union.

8. External links

This site links to external resources, in particular:

• apps.nextcloud.com — the official Nextcloud App Store
• GitHub — public source code repositories
• nextcloud.software-by-design.de — this Nextcloud apps documentation site

When you follow such a link, the destination service may collect information about you according to its own privacy policy. We have no control over the content of these external sites.

Under the GDPR you have, in particular, the following rights:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
