01. Threat & Data Governance Overview
Proactive Security Statement
This section provides a high-level view of how
personal data is managed when you visit this website. As a
**Cybersecurity Professional** focused on **Threat Hunting** and
**Malware Engineering**, I treat your data with the utmost
technical rigor and confidentiality. Personal data is any
information that identifies you. Detailed information regarding
the technical and legal bases of data protection can be found in
the full declaration below.
Data Collection and Management
The Data Controller and Network Architect:
Data processing on this website is overseen directly
by the site operator (the **Network Architect**). Contact details
for the controller are provided in the *“Information on the Data
Controller”* section of this policy.
Methods of Data Acquisition (Forensics perspective)
Data is primarily collected via two methods: data
you explicitly provide (e.g., through a **secure contact form**)
and technical data collected automatically by our IT systems
(e.g., browser type, OS, viewing time). Automatic collection
ensures technical integrity and allows for **security analysis**
to proactively identify potential threats, reflecting our **Threat
Hunting** posture.
Purpose of Data Usage and Security Assurance
Data is used to ensure the **technical security**
and error-free operation of the website, consistent with **Network
Architecture** principles. Certain data may be used to analyze
traffic and user behavior, helping to optimize both user
experience and **security monitoring**.
Your Rights as a Data Subject
You are guaranteed the right to receive information
(origin, recipient, purpose) regarding your stored personal data,
including the right to request correction or deletion. You can
revoke any consent given for data processing at any time. Further
rights include requesting the restriction of processing and
lodging a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For
all data protection inquiries, contact us immediately.
Security Monitoring and Third-Party Tool Integration
Your interaction with this website may be evaluated
statistically using analytical programs. These tools are used
responsibly to ensure website performance and security. Details
regarding these analytical programs are provided further down in
the full data protection declaration.
02. Network & Compliance Mandates
Commitment to Data Security
As the operator, I take the protection of your
personal data extremely seriously. My professional background as a
**Threat Hunter** ensures that we treat your personal data
confidentially, in full compliance with the statutory data
protection regulations (such as GDPR) and this policy.
When navigating this site, various personal data may be collected. This policy clarifies the scope, purpose, and methods of data collection.
**Security Notice:** We emphasize that while this site utilizes advanced **security architecture** (e.g., encryption), data transmission over public networks, such as email, may inherently carry security vulnerabilities. We deploy industry-standard safeguards to minimize risks, but absolute protection against third-party access is technically infeasible.
Information on the Data Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on
this website is: [Insert Your Name/Company Here]. The controller
is the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and
means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses,
etc.).
Data Retention Period
Unless a specific retention period is stated, your
personal data is retained only until the processing purpose is
fulfilled. If a justified deletion request is asserted or consent
is revoked, data will be deleted, barring legally permissible
storage requirements (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods).
Legal Basis for Data Processing (GDPR Compliance)
Data processing is based on consent (Art. 6 para. 1
lit. a GDPR), contractual necessity (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR),
legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR), or our legitimate
interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)—which includes **maintaining
network security** and integrity. Express consent is required for
special categories of data (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR) or data
transfer to third countries (Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Detailed legal bases are provided in individual sections below.
Withdrawal of Consent
You can withdraw your express consent for data
processing at any time. The legality of processing prior to
revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Collection and Direct Marketing (Art. 21
GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1
LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME ON
GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS INCLUDES
PROFILING. UPON OBJECTION, WE CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA, UNLESS
COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS EXIST OR PROCESSING IS FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (ART. 21 PARA.
1 GDPR). YOU ALSO RETAIN THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DIRECT MARKETING
AND RELATED PROFILING (ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint
with a supervisory authority for GDPR violations, particularly in
their habitual residence or place of work. This right does not
prejudice other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive automatically
processed data (based on consent or contract fulfillment) in a
common, machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another
controller is possible if technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within applicable legal frameworks, you have the
right to free information about your stored personal data, its
origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, with
the right to correction or deletion at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request the restriction of processing your
personal data. This right applies in cases such as disputing data
accuracy (during the review period), unlawful processing
(restriction instead of erasure), or if the data is needed for
legal claims despite not being required by us anymore.
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, processing may be restricted for the duration of the verification.
- If processing was/is unlawful, restriction may be requested instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need the data, but you require it for legal claims, restriction may be requested instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR), restriction applies while the balance of interests is determined.
- Restricted data may only be processed with your consent or for specific legal purposes (claims, public interest).
SSL and TLS Encryption (Network Security)
This site employs **SSL/TLS encryption** for
security and to protect confidential transmission, aligning with
modern **Network Architecture** standards. You recognize an
encrypted connection by the **“https://”** in the address line and
the lock symbol.
Activation of SSL/TLS encryption ensures that the data you transmit cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized third parties.
03. Digital Footprint Management (Cookies and Communication)
Cookies and Device Fingerprinting
Our website uses “cookies”—small, harmless data packets stored on your device temporarily (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Cookies may be first-party (from us) or third-party (from external services).
Cookies serve technical necessity (e.g., website functionality), user evaluation, and marketing. **Necessary cookies** (technical communication, essential function) are stored based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). All other cookies and recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) require explicit consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG), which can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to manage cookies (notifications, general exclusion, automatic deletion upon exit). Deactivating cookies may restrict website functionality.
Secure Communication (E-mail, Phone, or Fax)
Any communication received by us (e-mail, phone, or
fax) will have your inquiry and personal data (name, inquiry)
stored and processed solely for the purpose of fulfilling your
request. This data is **not passed on without your explicit
consent**.
Processing is based on contractual necessity (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or our legitimate interest in effective inquiry management (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Data is retained until deletion is requested, consent is revoked, or the storage purpose no longer applies (subject to statutory retention periods).
