This policy explains how personal data is processed when you visit Room Service at https://roomserviceblog.com/
Visiting this website
Room Service is an editorial blog. I do not sell visitors’ personal data or use it for direct marketing.
The website is hosted on WordPress.com. When you visit, the hosting provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, and the date and time of access.
This information supports website delivery, security, and reliable operation. Where processing is based on my legitimate interests, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR: providing a functioning and secure website.
Information about the hosting provider’s processing, recipients, retention periods, and international transfers is available in Automattic’s privacy notice: https://automattic.com/privacy-notice/
Cookies and website features
WordPress.com may use cookies and similar technologies to provide its services. Details are available at: https://automattic.com/cookies/
Where consent is required for optional technologies, they should only be activated after you give consent. You may withdraw that consent at any time through the website’s consent settings.
Contact by email
If you email me, I process your email address, message, and any information you choose to provide so I can respond.
The legal basis is my legitimate interest in handling correspondence under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request concerns a contract or steps before entering one.
Correspondence is deleted when it is no longer needed, unless a legal obligation requires longer retention. The email provider also processes messages to deliver and store them.
Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal conditions, you may request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restriction of processing, and data portability. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing.
To exercise your rights, contact me using the email address above. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority, including the authority in the German federal state where you live or work.
Updates
This policy will be updated if the website’s features or data processing practices change.
