This site (girnghuber.dev) and the services hosted
under it are operated privately by Patrick Girnghuber. This page
describes what data is processed when you interact with them.
The site is a static page. No cookies, no analytics, no third-party trackers. The webserver does not record per-request access logs. Only error-level events (e.g. failed requests, server errors) are logged for troubleshooting purposes and retained for up to 30 days. These logs may incidentally contain IP addresses associated with connection failures.
The Matrix homeserver runs Synapse. When you have an account here or communicate with users on this server, the following is processed:
The chat client (Cinny) is a static web application served from this domain. It stores your session, encryption keys, and preferences in your browser's local storage. No data is transmitted to this site beyond what is needed to load the client; all chat traffic goes directly from your browser to the Matrix homeserver.
The chat client (Element) is a static web application served from this domain. It stores your session, encryption keys, and preferences in your browser's local storage. No data is transmitted to this site beyond what is needed to load the client; all chat traffic goes directly from your browser to the Matrix homeserver.
This deployment does not operate its own identity server. If you
choose to add an email address or phone number to your Matrix
account, your client may publish a hashed mapping to a third-party
identity server (by default vector.im, operated by
Element). You can disable this in your client settings.
Encrypted backups of the homeserver database are retained for up to 14 days before being overwritten. Data within the backup retention window may persist after deletion from the live system.
This site uses Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) as a reverse proxy and content delivery network. All traffic to this site is routed through Cloudflare's network, which means Cloudflare receives and processes connection metadata including your IP address, the requested URL, your browser's user agent, and timing information. Cloudflare uses this data to deliver content, mitigate attacks, and provide security services. Cloudflare may retain connection logs for a short period (typically up to several days) for these purposes.
Data may be processed on servers located outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Cloudflare relies on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses as transfer mechanisms. More information: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account and data at any time by contacting hello@girnghuber.dev. Note that messages already federated to other homeservers cannot be deleted from those servers by this site's operator. Under the GDPR you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
