Privacy Policy

1. Identity of the Data Controller

The data controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) is:

Lomina
Hauptstraße 15
10115 Berlin
Germany
Email: [email protected]
Telephone: +49 30 14782960

2. Nature of the Website and Data Processing Philosophy

Lomina operates exclusively as an independent educational information resource. It does not sell products, provide commercial services, generate leads, or engage in any form of commerce. As a result of this purely informational function, there is no operational requirement to collect, store, or process personal data of website visitors.

Our fundamental approach to data is one of minimization: we process the absolute minimum amount of data required for the technical functioning of the website, and nothing beyond that. This approach reflects both our ethical commitment to user privacy and our compliance with the principles of the GDPR, specifically the principles of data minimization (Article 5(1)(c)) and purpose limitation (Article 5(1)(b)).

3. Technical Server Log Data

When any user visits a website, their browser automatically transmits certain technical information to the web server. This is not unique to Lomina but is an inherent characteristic of how the internet functions. This technical information, retained briefly in server access logs for security and stability purposes, may include:

• The IP address of the requesting device (anonymized or deleted within 7 days)
• Date and time of the server request
• The specific URL accessed
• The HTTP status code returned
• The browser type and version (user-agent string)
• The referring URL (if the visit originated from a link on another site)

This data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in maintaining the technical security and availability of the website. It is not linked to any individual user identity and is not used for any purpose beyond technical security maintenance.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Lomina uses only one category of cookies: strictly necessary functional cookies. Specifically, a single cookie is used to store your cookie consent preference (whether you accepted or declined). This cookie contains no personal information, is not shared with any third party, and does not track your behavior on the site or elsewhere.

No advertising cookies, analytics cookies, social media tracking cookies, or third-party cookies of any kind are present on this website. There are no integrations with advertising networks, remarketing systems, or behavioral profiling platforms.

For complete information about the cookies used, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

5. Contact Form

The contact page features a form allowing visitors to submit a general inquiry. When a visitor completes and submits this form, the form submits to a static confirmation page (thank-you.html) via HTTP GET. No form data is transmitted to any server, stored in any database, or processed in any way. The form is a static HTML element that functions as a user interface convenience only. Accordingly, no personal data from this form is collected or retained by Lomina.

6. Analytics and Third-Party Services

Lomina does not use any web analytics service (including but not limited to Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, or any equivalent). No third-party scripts, pixels, or tracking codes are loaded by this website. No data about visitor behavior, device characteristics, geographic location, or session duration is collected or analyzed.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

• Right of access (Article 15 GDPR): the right to obtain confirmation of whether personal data concerning you is processed
• Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR): the right to correction of inaccurate personal data
• Right to erasure (Article 17 GDPR): the right to deletion of personal data
• Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
• Right to object to processing (Article 21 GDPR)

As Lomina does not collect or retain personal data (beyond the brief, anonymized technical server logs described above), the practical exercise of most of these rights is not applicable in this context. For any privacy-related inquiry, you may contact us at [email protected].

8. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Germany, the relevant supervisory authority is the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit (the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information).

9. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed toward individuals under the age of 18. Lomina does not knowingly collect data from or about minors.

10. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements or our operational practices. The date of the most recent revision is indicated at the top of this page. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
