Your privacy, in plain language.

Who is responsible

This website is operated by Oliver A. Kannape in Geneva, Switzerland. Privacy questions and requests can be sent using the email link on the homepage.

What this website collects

This is a small informational website. It has no contact form, user accounts, analytics, advertising, tracking pixels, or cookies. It does not intentionally collect information directly from visitors.

Like most hosting providers, one.com processes technical access-log information when the site is visited. This can include an IP address, date and time, requested files, referrer, and browser or device information.

The publications page refreshes public bibliographic metadata on the server from OpenAlex and Unpaywall. These requests are made by the website server and do not transmit a visitor’s IP address or browsing activity to those services.

Why and on what basis

Technical log data is processed to deliver the website, maintain its security, diagnose errors, and prevent misuse. Where the EU GDPR applies, this processing is based on the legitimate interests in operating a secure and reliable website. Under Swiss data-protection law, it is processed for the same stated purposes and in accordance with the principles of proportionality and transparency.

Hosting and retention

The site is hosted by one.com, which acts as a service provider for web hosting. one.com states that data for EU-resident customers is hosted in Denmark. Technical data is retained only for as long as required by one.com for hosting, security, and legal obligations under its applicable policies and agreement with the website operator.

External links

The website links to LinkedIn, Bluesky, the Virtual Medicine Center, XRMD, ORCID, Google Scholar, DOI resolvers, publishers, and open-access repositories. No information is sent to those services merely by loading this website. If you follow a link, the destination service processes information under its own privacy policy.

Your rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or objection to the processing of your personal data. You may also contact the relevant data-protection authority. To make a request concerning this website, use the email link on the homepage.
