Privacy policy (Datenschutzerklärung)

Short version: this site sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from third-party servers. We process personal data only when you write to us, join the waitlist or book a Health Check. Details below.

1. Controller

Portalix UG (haftungsbeschränkt)
Thalkirchner Str. 103, 81371 München, Germany
Managing director: Stefan Böck
E-mail: hello@anycast.dev

We are not required to appoint a data protection officer.

2. Hosting and server logs

This website is hosted on servers located in Germany. When you visit the site, the web server automatically records access data in server logs: the requested URL, date and time, transferred data volume, HTTP status, the referring URL, your browser and operating system (user agent) and your IP address. We use this data to deliver the site, to keep it secure and to diagnose faults. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website). Logs are deleted automatically after 14 days unless they have to be kept longer to investigate a security incident.

The site is delivered with HTTPS only. No content is loaded from third-party servers: fonts are system fonts, there are no embedded scripts from other providers, no tracking pixels and no cookies.

3. Contact by e-mail

If you e-mail us, we process your e-mail address, the content of your message and any data you include in order to handle your request. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where the request concerns a contract or pre-contractual steps, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in answering enquiries). We keep correspondence as long as required to handle the matter and to meet statutory retention obligations.

4. Monitoring waitlist

If you join the waitlist we store your e-mail address, the time of sign-up and the page you signed up from, in our own sign-up system operated by us. We use this data only to inform you when the monitoring service launches and when its price is final. Legal basis: your consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw consent at any time by e-mail to hello@anycast.dev; we then delete your entry. Entries are deleted no later than 6 months after launch of the service, or immediately on withdrawal.

If your browser cannot reach our sign-up system, the form falls back to opening an e-mail in your mail client; in that case section 3 applies.

5. Booking a Health Check (payment)

Bookings are handled via a payment page provided by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Dublin 2, Ireland. When you pay, Stripe processes the data required for the payment (name, e-mail address, billing address, payment details). Stripe acts as an independent controller for payment processing; its privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. We receive confirmation of the payment together with your name, e-mail and billing address and use them to deliver the service and for our accounting. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR (statutory retention of accounting records, 10 years under § 147 AO / § 257 HGB). Stripe may transfer data to the United States; such transfers are covered by the EU standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

6. Measurement data

When we carry out a Health Check or monitoring we measure the nameservers and anycast addresses you ask us to measure. This data concerns network infrastructure, not individuals. Measurements are taken from public measurement platforms (RIPE Atlas) and, where agreed, from our own measurement lab. The lab's method, probe source addresses, abuse contact and public opt-out are documented at anycast.org. Results for a specific network are shared only with the customer who ordered them; anything we publish is aggregated or published with the operator's consent.

7. Recipients

We pass personal data to third parties only where described above (hosting provider as processor, Stripe for payments) or where we are legally obliged to. We do not sell data and do not use it for advertising.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. To exercise these rights, e-mail hello@anycast.dev.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany, www.lda.bayern.de.

9. Changes

We update this policy when the site or our services change, for example when the monitoring service launches. The current version is always available at this address.
