LinuxHeim Privacy Policy — outlines how we handle personal information you voluntarily provide, the protections we implement, your rights under applicable law, and disclaimers regarding data security and usage.
LinuxHeim is an educational platform providing tutorials, guides, reviews, and tools. All content is provided solely for informational and educational purposes. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information you voluntarily provide (for example, by sending email). By accessing or using LinuxHeim you acknowledge and accept the terms of this Privacy Policy.
LinuxHeim is operated by the site owner as an independent educational platform, delivering tutorials, guides, reviews, and tools for the Linux community. Any personal data voluntarily submitted via email is handled exclusively to respond to inquiries, provide assistance, or otherwise fulfill legitimate educational purposes. The site owner may, in the future, expand the platform or introduce additional services; any such expansion will continue to respect user privacy and data protection principles. For questions or requests regarding your personal data, you may contact the site owner at [email protected].
LinuxHeim does NOT collect personal information automatically. The only personal data we process is data you voluntarily provide to us (for example, when you send an email to [email protected] or use an explicit contact mechanism). We process only the minimum information necessary to respond to your inquiry (typically name, email address, message contents).
LinuxHeim does not use cookies, trackers, advertising networks, or third-party analytics. We do not collect behavioral or usage data about visitors. You may access the site and read our materials without providing any personal information.
We use any personal data you voluntarily provide only to: (a) respond to inquiries or support requests; (b) process requests you make; and (c) comply with legal obligations when required. Processing is based on your voluntary provision of data and, where applicable, your consent or our legitimate interest in answering inquiries and operating the site.
We retain emails and related correspondence only as long as necessary to perform the response or as required by law. As a default, LinuxHeim will retain voluntarily submitted messages for a maximum of 12 months unless a shorter/longer retention period is required for legal or operational reasons. You may request deletion earlier (see Rights below).
Our servers are located in Germany (European Economic Area). We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (including access controls, encryption where practicable, and least-privilege access). Nonetheless, no transmission or storage is completely secure; LinuxHeim cannot guarantee absolute security and disclaims any warranty to that effect.
LinuxHeim will never sell your personal data. We will not trade, rent, or otherwise disclose your voluntarily-submitted personal information to third parties except: (a) to provide the specific assistance you requested, (b) where required by law or legal process, or (c) where you explicitly consent to sharing. If we integrate third-party services in the future that process personal data, we will disclose that use here and obtain any required consents.
Pages may contain links to third-party websites or embedded content (e.g., external tools, documentation). Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies. LinuxHeim is not responsible for third-party privacy practices. Follow third-party links only if you accept their terms and policies.
Do not send sensitive, special-category, or confidential personal data (e.g., social security numbers, medical information, financial account credentials) to LinuxHeim by email. You are solely responsible for the content of messages you send; we will treat such content as voluntary. If sensitive data is sent, we may delete it and refuse to process it further for safety and compliance reasons.
If you are in the EU/EEA, you have rights under applicable data protection laws including: the right to access your personal data; the right to rectification; the right to erasure (right to be forgotten); the right to restrict or object to processing; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for Germany, the relevant state Data Protection Authority or the Federal Commissioner).
All content on LinuxHeim is provided "AS IS" for informational and educational purposes only. LinuxHeim disclaims any warranty, express or implied, with respect to its privacy or security practices, and shall not be liable for incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the site or transmission of information. This Privacy Policy does not create contractual rights beyond those required by applicable law.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date is shown at the top of the policy page. Material changes will be posted prominently. Continued use of the site after posting constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
Questions about this Privacy Policy or requests regarding your personal data should be sent to: [email protected]. For formal legal notices or service of process, see the registered contact details above.
These terms are effective as of the date you first access LinuxHeim.
By using our educational content, you acknowledge your understanding and acceptance of these terms.
