Reading the wiki

Server logs

When you open a page, the web server automatically records technical data: your IP address, date and time, the page requested, browser and operating system, and the referring page. This is needed to deliver the website and to protect it against abuse.

• Legal basis: legitimate interest in a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Hosting: the server is operated by IONOS SE, Montabaur, Germany, on our behalf under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR).
• Storage: server logs are deleted automatically after 14 days.

Page view counter

RammWiki counts how often each page is viewed. Only the page and the date are stored, no IP address or other information about you.

Cookies

RammWiki only uses cookies that are necessary for the wiki to work: they keep you logged in and remember your display settings (§ 25(2) TDDDG). We do not use cookies for statistics, advertising or tracking.

Captcha

Forms such as the contact form are protected against spam with Cloudflare Turnstile (Cloudflare, Inc., USA). When the form is shown, Cloudflare receives your IP address and technical browser data to check that you are not a bot.

• Legal basis: legitimate interest in protecting the wiki against spam (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Cloudflare is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Maps

Pages with maps load map images from the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Your browser sends your IP address to that provider to receive the images.

Embedded videos

Embedded videos (e.g. YouTube) are only loaded after you click on them. Only then is data such as your IP address sent to the video platform.

Contact form

If you use the contact form or write to us, we process your name (if given), e-mail address and message to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). We delete them once the request is dealt with, unless we need to keep them.

Accounts and editing

Registration is closed to the public. We create accounts on request only. For this we need your e-mail address and a username. You then set your own password via the link sent to your e-mail address.

• Edits are public: your username is shown with every edit you make. Edits remain part of the page history.
• IP addresses of editors are stored with recent edits for 90 days so we can handle vandalism and undo edits.
• Edit notifications: new edits (page, username, edit summary) are posted automatically to our Discord server.
• Legal basis: providing the account and the wiki you take part in (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and protecting it (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

If you no longer want your account, we will delete it on request. Because page histories must stay complete, your edits are then kept under an anonymised name.

Your rights

You have the right to access your data (Art. 15 GDPR), to have it corrected (Art. 16) or deleted (Art. 17), to restrict its processing (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on legitimate interest (Art. 21). To use these rights, write to [email protected].

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the one responsible for your place of residence.
