Privacy policy

Last updated: 08/2026

This is a private personal website. It pursues no commercial purpose as an online service, sells nothing and embeds no third-party services. Data processing is correspondingly minimal — the sections below describe it in full.

1. Controller

Alexander Dolle-Koch
Lily-Braun-Str. 16G
12619 Berlin, Germany
Phone: +49 172 785 08 94
Email: alexander@dolle-koch.berlin

No data protection officer has been appointed; the conditions of Art. 37 GDPR are not met.

2. Hosting

This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, on the basis of a data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. The servers are located in Germany.

3. Server log files

When you open this website, the host automatically records the page requested, the time of access, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, amount of data transferred, HTTP status code and IP address. This data is not merged with other sources. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Log files are deleted after seven days at the latest.

4. Contact form

If you write to me via the form, I process your name, email address and message solely in order to answer your enquiry. The details are delivered by email and stored in my mailbox; there is no database. Legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Spam protection

On submission, a salted hash of your IP address is stored to limit the number of attempts per hour. The IP address itself is not stored and the hash is deleted after two hours at the latest. No captcha service or external spam filter is used.

5. Contact by email or phone

If you contact me directly, I process the details involved — your address and message content by email, your number by phone where transmitted — solely to handle your request. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) GDPR. I do not record calls or keep call notes.

6. Cookies

This website sets two cookies, both from its own domain:

  • Session identifier (dkses) — protects the contact form against misuse by third parties. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
  • Cookie decision (dk_consent) — records that you have seen the cookie notice and what you chose, so it is not shown on every visit. Valid for six months.

Both are required for the site to work and are exempt from consent under § 25 (2) TDDDG; the legal basis for the subsequent processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. No cookies are set for advertising, analytics or recognition purposes.

You can change your choice at any time: the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page reopens the notice. You may also delete or block cookies in your browser, though the contact form will then stop working.

7. Fonts and external content

All typefaces are served from this server. There is no connection to Google Fonts or any content delivery network. No maps, videos, social media plugins or tracking pixels are embedded. Opening this website therefore transfers no data to third parties.

8. Analytics

No web analytics take place. No usage profiles are created and no visitors are recognised.

9. External links

This site links to external offerings, including LinkedIn and the websites of Berliner Netzwerk, Hostel Round Table and Coffee INN Hostel. Once you follow such a link, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.

10. Your rights

You have the right to:

  • access your stored data (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

An email to alexander@dolle-koch.berlin is sufficient. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; the competent one is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

11. Encryption

This site is served exclusively over HTTPS; requests via HTTP are redirected automatically.
