Legal bases for processing

We process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing a functioning and secure video platform). If you create a user account, the processing is carried out to perform a contract or to take pre-contractual steps under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where we obtain consent (e.g. for optional features), Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis. As we act as a non-profit organisation, we pursue purely non-profit aims with this service and have no commercial interests.

You have the right at any time:
To obtain information about your stored personal data (Art. 15 GDPR).
To request the rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR).
To request the erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR).
To request the restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).

To object to the processing (Art. 21 GDPR).
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

3. Special features of the Fediverse & PeerTube (decentralisation)

This instance is part of the Fediverse, a decentralised network based on the ActivityPub protocol. This has important consequences for data protection:
Federation: if you interact on this instance with users or content of other instances (e.g. follow, comment on or share a video from an external PeerTube instance), your interactions and your profile name are transmitted to these external instances.

Distribution of data: once data (e.g. comments or public interactions) has been federated to other servers in the Fediverse, we no longer have direct access to it and cannot guarantee its deletion on third-party servers.

4. Data collection on our website

Server log files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL (the page visited previously)
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is necessary for the technical operation and security of the instance (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The log files are deleted automatically after 14 days.

If you upload videos, write comments or like/share videos, insofar as we enable these features, this content is stored permanently on our server until you delete it. Please note its distribution in the Fediverse (see section 3).

Cookies & local storage

We use technically necessary cookies and your browser's local storage to enable login and to save your settings (e.g. volume, language). We do not use tracking, advertising or third-party cookies.

5. Hosting and third parties

This website and our PeerTube instance are operated on servers of Hetzner, Gunzenhausen, in Germany. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with the provider.
