We have not appointed a data protection officer; we are not required to do so.

2. What we process, why, and for how long

2.1 Visiting the website

When you open a page on 3lapse.com, the web server records the IP address of your device, date and time, the requested page, the referring page, browser type and operating system. This data is needed to deliver the pages and to detect and defend against attacks.

• Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in operating a functional and secure website.
• Retention: server logs are deleted after 14 days.

3lapse.com is delivered through the content delivery network and web application firewall of Cloudflare, Inc. Cloudflare processes your IP address and request data on its edge servers, including in the EU, to filter malicious traffic and to deliver the pages. See section 3.

The online time-lapse tool is currently offline. We do not accept uploads and do not process images or videos.

2.2 Contact by e-mail

If you write to us, we process your e-mail address, the content of your message and the time it was sent in order to answer you.

• Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (our interest in answering enquiries).
• Retention: we delete correspondence 24 months after the matter has been resolved, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

3. Recipients

We use the following service providers, which process data on our behalf under data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR:

We disclose personal data to authorities only where we are legally obliged to do so.

4. Transfers to third countries

Cloudflare is based in the USA and is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; in addition, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR) with Cloudflare.

5. Cookies

We use only cookies that are technically necessary:

• __cf_bm, cf_clearance – set by Cloudflare to distinguish humans from bots and to protect the site against attacks; lifetime 30 minutes.

Storing and reading these cookies is permitted without consent under § 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG, because they are strictly necessary to provide the service you request. We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not embed third-party content that sets cookies. For this reason there is no cookie banner.

6. Your rights

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR), to have inaccurate data corrected (Art. 16), to have data erased (Art. 17), to restrict processing (Art. 18), to receive the data you provided in a machine-readable format (Art. 20), and to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21).

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.

To exercise your rights, e-mail us at contact@3lapse.com.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the Unabhängiges Landeszentrum für Datenschutz Schleswig-Holstein (ULD), Holstenstraße 98, 24103 Kiel, Germany, https://www.datenschutzzentrum.de. You may also contact the authority at your place of residence.

7. Obligation to provide data

You are not legally obliged to provide personal data.

8. Automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR.

9. Security

All connections to 3lapse.com are encrypted (TLS). The website is hosted in Germany and delivered through Cloudflare; administrative access is restricted to the operator and protected by key-based authentication.
