Privacy Policy

This page sets out what happens to your data when you use olio.solutions. It is written to be read, not to be survived: one section per service we actually load, with the purpose, the legal basis, and how long we keep anything.

Given our size we are not required to appoint a data protection officer. Data protection questions go straight to the address above.

Your rights

You can exercise all of these free of charge, informally, by email. We answer within one month.

  • Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
    You can find out whether we process data about you, and which.
  • Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
    We have to correct inaccurate data and complete incomplete data.
  • Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
    You can ask for deletion unless a retention obligation stands in the way.
  • Restriction (Art. 18 GDPR)
    Instead of deleting, we can also freeze the processing.
  • Portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
    You get your data in a common, machine-readable format.
  • Objection (Art. 21 GDPR)
    You can object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests. Here that covers the server log files and Umami.
  • Withdrawal (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
    You can withdraw consent at any time with future effect, right from the cookie settings on this page.
  • Complaint (Art. 77 GDPR)
    You can complain to a supervisory authority. Ours is the Data Protection Commissioner of North Rhine-Westphalia, Kavalleriestr. 2-4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.

What we process, service by service

Every third-party service this site loads is listed here. There are no others.

Server-Logfiles

Runs without a consent gate

Hosting: Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany

Purpose
Delivering the site, debugging, and defending the server against attacks.
Data
IP address, date and time, requested URL, HTTP status, bytes transferred, referrer, browser and device string (user agent).
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is running the site securely.
Retention
Rotated log files are deleted after 30 days. The active file is rotated once it reaches 50 MB.
Transfer outside the EU
No transfer outside the EU or EEA.

Umami

Runs without a consent gate

Self-hosted at umami.olio.solutions. Hosting: Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany

Purpose
Traffic measurement: how many people open which page. Umami works without cookies and without cross-device recognition.
Data
Page viewed, referrer, screen size, browser, operating system, country. Umami derives a pseudonymous session ID from the IP address and browser string; the IP address itself is not stored.
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is understanding which content gets read. Because nothing is stored on or read from your device, §25(1) TDDDG does not apply, which is why this script loads before you make a choice in the cookie banner.
Retention
Individual page views stay stored with their session ID until we delete them. No automatic deletion period is configured at the moment.
Transfer outside the EU
No transfer outside the EU or EEA.

PostHog

Only with your consent

PostHog, Inc., via its EU cloud (eu.i.posthog.com), data centre in Germany

Purpose
Product analytics: the paths visitors take through the site, so we can improve pages and calculators.
Data
Pseudonymous visitor ID, pages viewed, timestamps, referrer, browser and device details.
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §25(1) TDDDG, meaning your consent alone. Without it PostHog is never loaded.
Retention
Up to 12 months. If you withdraw consent, the identifiers stored on your device are deleted immediately.
Transfer outside the EU
No transfer outside the EU or EEA.

Provider's privacy policy

Apollo.io

Only with your consent

Apollo.io (ZenLeads, Inc.), USA

Purpose
Company identification: the IP address is used to estimate which company is visiting, so we can approach the right contact. No advertising is served.
Data
IP address, the company and location derived from it, pages viewed, timestamps, referrer.
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §25(1) TDDDG, meaning your consent alone. Without it the script is never loaded.
Retention
Per the provider's own schedule, see their privacy policy.
Transfer outside the EU
The provider is based in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer therefore rests first on the European Commission adequacy decision of 10 July 2023, backed by standard contractual clauses under Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR so that it stays covered should the adequacy decision fall away.

Provider's privacy policy

Cal.com

Runs without a consent gate

Cal.com, Inc., USA

Purpose
Booking intro calls. Cal.com is not embedded in our site: a connection to Cal.com is only made once you click a booking link and leave olio.solutions.
Data
Whatever you enter in the booking form (name, email address, topic), plus connection data such as your IP address.
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, since the booking initiates pre-contractual steps at your request.
Retention
Until the matter is settled, then within statutory retention periods.
Transfer outside the EU
Cal.com, Inc. is based in the USA and is not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We transfer nothing there ourselves: only when you click a booking link do you leave olio.solutions, and from that moment Cal.com is responsible for your data under its own privacy policy. If you would rather not, email us instead and we will arrange the time by hand.

Provider's privacy policy

E-Mail-Kontakt

Runs without a consent gate

Processed by us, together with our email provider.

Purpose
Answering your enquiry.
Data
Your email address, your name, and whatever you write to us.
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for enquiries about working together, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Retention
Until your matter is settled. Business correspondence is subject to commercial and tax retention periods of up to 10 years.
Transfer outside the EU
No transfer outside the EU or EEA.

Storage on your device

This site sets no cookies. What it does store sits in your browser's local storage and stays on your device unless a section above says otherwise.

Entry: cookie-consent-v2

Stores your choice in the consent banner so we do not ask again on every visit.

Lifetime: Until you clear your browser storage.

Entry: theme

Remembers whether you picked the light or dark appearance.

Lifetime: Until you clear your browser storage.

Entry: olio.pflichtenheft.draft.v1

Keeps your draft in the requirements generator from being lost on reload. The content stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

Lifetime: Until you reset the draft or clear your browser storage.

Entry: ph_*

PostHog pseudonymous visitor ID. Set only with your consent and deleted immediately when you withdraw it.

Lifetime: Until you withdraw your consent.

Fonts and images

Our fonts are delivered from our own server. No connection to Google Fonts or any other font CDN is made when you open a page, so no request carries your IP address to a third party.

Our presence on LinkedIn

We run a company page on a platform we do not control. Nothing about it affects your visit here, but for the statistics the platform derives from visits to that page we share responsibility, so it belongs in this policy.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland

Purpose
We run a company page on LinkedIn to show what we do and to talk to people who are interested. Nothing from LinkedIn loads on olio.solutions itself: our links there are ordinary links, and a connection is only made once you click one.
Data
When you visit our LinkedIn page, LinkedIn processes your interactions (content viewed, clicks), device details (IP address, operating system, browser, language setting, cookie data), and profile details (job function, country, industry, seniority, company size). All we receive from that is aggregated statistics, no individual records and no names.
Legal basis
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is presenting our company and understanding which posts land.
Retention
The statistics reach us only in aggregate and over the periods LinkedIn sets. How long LinkedIn keeps the underlying data is LinkedIn's decision.
Transfer outside the EU
LinkedIn Ireland is based in the EU. Passing data on to its US parent, LinkedIn Corporation, is LinkedIn's responsibility alone; it relies on the adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, backed by standard contractual clauses.
Who is responsible
We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn Ireland for collecting this data and passing it to LinkedIn (Art. 26 GDPR). Everything LinkedIn does with it afterwards is LinkedIn's responsibility alone. You can exercise access, erasure, and objection with us or directly with LinkedIn; going to LinkedIn is faster, because the individual records only exist there. None of this limits the rights listed above.

How we protect your data

Art. 32 GDPR asks for measures appropriate to the risk. These are ours, stated concretely enough that you could check them.

Encrypted transport

Every connection to olio.solutions runs over HTTPS (TLS). Requests over unencrypted HTTP are redirected to the encrypted address automatically, and the certificates renew themselves continuously.

Where the servers are

The site and its log files sit with Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, inside the EU. Rotated access logs are deleted after 30 days.

Collect little rather than guard a lot

This site has no user accounts, no contact form, and no payment function, so there is no database of details you handed us. The only thing stored is the page views of our reach measurement, in our own Umami database. We set no cookies.

Recognition only after consent

Services that store or read something on your device only load once you have agreed in the banner. If you withdraw, the entries they left are deleted immediately and the page reloads so that already-loaded scripts stop too.

Limited access

Only the people who need it to run the site have access to the servers and the analytics.

Change your choice

You can review or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Changes to this policy

We update this page whenever we add, replace, or remove a service. The date below tells you when that last happened.
