Basics

This portal is an information and download service. It sets no cookies and embeds no third-party analytics or advertising services; personal data is neither passed on to third parties nor processed for advertising purposes. All scripts (Leaflet) are served by this server itself; no external CDNs are used.

Server log files and usage statistics

When you access the site, the web server (nginx, operated on a server of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany) automatically processes technically necessary data: IP address, date and time of access, requested resource, amount of data transferred, referrer and user agent. These log data are additionally evaluated statistically on the server (self-hosted software, no third parties, no cookies) in order to understand how the service is used — e.g. access figures and requested downloads — and to improve it. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, stable and needs-based operation). The log files are deleted automatically on a regular schedule (logrotate, 14 days) and are not merged with other data sources; statistical evaluations without direct personal reference may be retained beyond that.

Downloads (object storage)

The GeoPackage downloads are delivered via the S3 object storage of Hetzner Online GmbH (redirect to alkis.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com). In doing so Hetzner processes the IP address of the requester as technically necessary connection information (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Hetzner operates its data centres in Germany.

Official base map of Germany (basemap.de / BKG, optional on this version)

If you choose the base map option "basemap.de (official, German labels)" in the panel, map tiles from basemap.de are loaded, a service of the German Federal Agency for Cartography and Geodesy (BKG), Richard-Strauss-Allee 11, 60598 Frankfurt am Main (sgx.geodatenzentrum.de). When the tiles are loaded, the BKG necessarily receives the IP address of your device and the tile coordinates of the displayed area. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in displaying an official base map). Further information: privacy notice of the BKG.

World map (Eurostat GISCO)

basemap.de covers Germany only. For the surrounding countries, and on this English version of the map as the default base map for Germany as well (English-labelled tiles), OpenStreetMap map tiles are loaded via the GISCO tile service of the European Commission (Eurostat, gisco-services.ec.europa.eu). When the tiles are loaded, the service necessarily receives the IP address of your device and the tile coordinates of the displayed area (processing within the EU). The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a seamless base map). Further information: privacy policy of the European Commission.

Satellite base map (Esri, optional)

If you select the base map "Satellite imagery" in the panel instead of basemap.de, map tiles are loaded from Esri Inc., 380 New York Street, Redlands, CA 92373, USA (server.arcgisonline.com). Esri then necessarily receives the IP address of your device and the tile coordinates of the displayed area; this involves a transfer of data to a third country (USA). The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent by actively selecting this base map) — without this selection no connection to Esri servers is established. Further information: privacy notice of Esri.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, e.g. the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Lower Saxony.
