Privacy Policy
Last updated: 02.03.2026
Note: I am not a lawyer. This privacy policy is a practical standard template for a small business website without tracking.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Niessen GmbH, Industriestr. 2, 65779 Kelkheim (Taunus), Germany
Email: niko@mrnicen.com
2. Hosting / server logs
This website is operated on its own server (Ubuntu + nginx) with a hosting provider (e.g. Hetzner).
When you access the website, the server processes technically necessary data in so-called log files (e.g. IP address, date/time, requested URL, user agent) in order to operate the website securely and reliably (e.g. to defend against attacks and analyze errors).
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in security and stability).
3. Contact form / email contact
If you contact me via the contact form, I process the data you enter (e.g. name, email, message content, event details) in order to respond to your inquiry.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures / contract) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in communication).
4. Consulting inquiry
For inquiries submitted via the consulting form, I process the data provided (name, email, message/content) in order to review and answer the inquiry.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
5. Feedback form (reviews)
If you submit feedback, the data provided (name, star rating, headline, text, date and optional uploaded images) is stored in order to evaluate feedback internally and, where applicable, use it as a reference.
Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), insofar as feedback is published; otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in quality improvement).
You may revoke consent to publication at any time (contact: niko@mrnicen.com).
6. No analytics tools / no tracking
This website does not use cookies for analytics or marketing purposes (no Google Analytics, no Matomo, no external trackers).
7. External links (e.g. Instagram)
This website may contain links to external websites (e.g. Instagram). When you click such links, you leave this website. The respective provider is responsible for data processing on the destination website.
8. Storage period
I store data only for as long as necessary for the respective purposes or as required by statutory retention obligations.
9. Your rights
Subject to the applicable legal requirements, you have the following rights:
- access (Art. 15 GDPR)

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

I take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect data (e.g. transport encryption via HTTPS, access protection for admin areas).
