This privacy policy applies exclusively to the website ardenum.io. It does not apply to any product applications hosted under other subdomains, which provide separate information where applicable.

Ardenum.io is a static information page. When you visit the site, only the following technically necessary data is processed by the hosting provider and stored in server logs:

• IP address of the requesting device
• date and time of access
• requested URL
• HTTP status code and amount of data transferred
• referrer URL (if transmitted by the browser)
• user-agent string (browser and device type)

No forms are offered, no cookies are set, no tracking, no analytics and no newsletter or contact-form data is collected.

4. Purposes of processing

The data listed in section 3 is processed exclusively for the following purposes:

• delivery and technical operation of the website
• ensuring IT security (detection and defence against attacks)
• error analysis in the event of technical faults

5. Legal bases

• revFADP (Switzerland): overriding legitimate interest in the secure and error-free operation of the website.
• GDPR (EU): Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website.

6. Processors

The website is hosted by:
