2. Local Use in Your Browser

Epochmachine is a static image gallery. Gallery images and the image viewer are displayed in your browser. The website does not provide accounts, forms, uploads, comments, or a server-side user database.

The current website does not store saved images, theme preferences, or other user settings in localStorage.

3. Technical Access Data

When you visit the website, technically necessary access data may be processed to deliver the site and maintain security and stability. This may include your IP address, date and time of access, requested URL, referrer URL, user agent, status codes, and error data.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases

The website is provided on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to provide a secure, stable, and functional website.

Because the current website does not use cookies, analytics, account features, or local browser storage for user settings, no separate consent-based storage feature is described here.

5. Hosting

This website is intended to be hosted on Vercel. As part of hosting, Vercel may process technically necessary access data, including IP addresses, request metadata, timestamps, status data, and error data.

Vercel may process data in the United States and other countries outside the European Economic Area. Where required, such transfers must be based on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or other legally recognized mechanisms.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking

Epochmachine does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or ad trackers.

7. Recipients

For ordinary website access, recipients of personal data may include technical hosting providers, currently expected to be Vercel.

8. Retention

Technical access logs are retained only as long as necessary for operation, security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention, unless longer retention is legally required.

9. Your Rights

Subject to the statutory requirements, you have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing. You also have the right to withdraw consent with effect for the future where processing is based on consent.

Because the website does not provide accounts, forms, uploads, or saved browser features, these rights mainly concern technical data processed when the website is accessed or hosted.

10. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In Berlin, the competent authority is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

11. Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy if the website, hosting setup, or legal requirements change. The current version is published on this page.
