Privacy Policy

This page contains all legally required information about our Privacy Policy of this website. Please read the following carefully.

  1. Controller The controller responsible for processing personal data on this website under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is: Ingo Weigel Altranstädter Str. 20 04229 Leipzig Germany Email: contact@ingoweigel.com
  1. Overview This website provides information about my books, whitepapers and talks. It has no customer accounts, no shop and no contact form. I process personal data only as far as needed to run the website, to measure reach with your consent, or to answer your enquiries.
  1. Hosting This website runs on the Gamma service. The provider is Gamma Tech, Inc., 2261 Market Street #4544, San Francisco, CA 94114, USA. When you visit the website, the provider processes technically necessary data in server log files. This includes your IP address, the date and time of access, the page requested, the page you visited before (referrer), and information about your browser and operating system. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest is delivering the website securely and without errors. Because the provider is based in the USA, data may be transferred to the USA. According to the provider, this takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.
  1. Reach measurement with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics If you consent, I use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics to understand how the website is used. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Data may also be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The data processed includes pages viewed, time on site, approximate location, device and browser information, and a random identifier stored in a cookie. Data is stored for a maximum of 14 months. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. Without your consent these services are not activated. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer of this website and changing your choice. Processing carried out before withdrawal remains lawful.
  1. Contact by email or phone If you email or call me, I process your details (name, contact details, content of your message) to answer your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. I delete your data once the enquiry is resolved, unless statutory retention duties apply. The email service is operated through IONOS (Titan Mail).
  1. External links and downloads This website links to third-party services, including Amazon (books), Substack (newsletter), LinkedIn and Google Drive (media kit download). When you click a link you leave this website, and the privacy policy of the respective provider applies from that point. If you subscribe to the newsletter via Substack, Substack processes the data you enter there under its own responsibility. When you open a download on Google Drive, Google receives your IP address and other usage data.
  1. Your rights You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and the right to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21). You can withdraw any consent at any time. To exercise your rights, email me at contact@ingoweigel.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for my place of residence is: Sächsische Datenschutz- und Transparenzbeauftragte Maternistraße 17 01067 Dresden, Germany https://www.datenschutz.sachsen.de/
  1. No obligation to provide data, no automated decisions You are not obliged to provide personal data to me. There is no automated decision-making, including profiling. 9. Changes I update this policy when the website or the law changes, for example when new services are added.
