Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is Dr. Mark Hosak, Neckargasse 1, 69412 Eberbach, Germany — email office@homecomingjapan.com. See the Imprint for full details.
Hosting
This website is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). When you visit, Vercel automatically processes technical access data (server log data) such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the page requested, and the date and time of the request. This is necessary to deliver the website securely and reliably (legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest). As processing may involve transfer to the USA, appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses apply.
Domain & email infrastructure
The domain and email infrastructure are provided by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Germany. Where you contact me by email, your message and contact details are processed solely to handle your enquiry (legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(b) and (f) GDPR) and are not passed on to third parties without your consent.
Newsletter / email opt-in
If you choose to sign up to receive updates by email, your email address and any name you provide are processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) using a double opt-in procedure. You can withdraw your consent and unsubscribe at any time, with effect for the future. An email service provider may be used to deliver these messages on my behalf under a data processing agreement.
Cookies & analytics
This website uses only what is technically necessary to function and does not set non-essential tracking or advertising cookies. Should analytics be introduced in future, this policy will be updated and, where required, your consent will be requested first.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact me at office@homecomingjapan.com.
This privacy policy is provided in good faith and will be kept up to date as the site develops. The legally binding German version will follow with the German-language site.
