<h3>2. Data protection summary</h3>

<p>We dedicate our piefed instance piefed.keyboardvagabond.com to the

typically employ for networking, socialising and discussing ideas mainly
|
|
linked to travel and nomading.</p>
|
|

|
|
piefed.keyboardvagabond.com stores the cookie '_piefed_session' with an
|
|
identifier in the browser of registered and unregistered website visitors
|
|
until they close their browser. For registered website visitors, the cookie
|
|
'_session_id' stores their login status until logout. Based on user consent,
|
|
the website stores as well push notification settings in the browser. For
|
|
security and debugging purposes, our server logs and stores visitor IP
|
|
addresses for a maximum of 14 days. After that time, all IP addresses are

removed.</p>

<h4>(a) Website Visitors</h4>
|
|
<p>The piefed.keyboardvagabond.com website and APIs process the IP addresses
|
|
and other metadata (as specified below) of its visitors. When accessing the
|
|
service, an encrypted connection to its web server is established. To
|
|
display the content correctly on the visitor's computer or other terminal
|
|
devices, the following data is processed in accordance with the HTTP and
|
|
TCP/IP protocol:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>IP address of the visitor's internet connection</li>
|
|
<li>Operating system and operating system version of the visitor's terminal
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Web browser and browser version</li>
|
|
<li>Date of access to the website</li>
|
|
<li>HTTP cookie '_piefed_session' (for the duration of the website visit)
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This is required for the request, processing, and display of profile data and
|
|
other content on the service. After each page visit, some of the data are
|
|
stored in the account profile (if logged in) and server logs. These logs
|
|
serve the purpose of maintenance and security of the server and personal
|
|
data herein is deleted after 14 days. Furthermore, the website employs the
|
|
cookie '_session_id' to store the login status of registered users until
|
|
logout or until a year after the last website visit. The website also stores
|
|
the notifications settings in the browser. This processing is based on
|
|
Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR ('processing is necessary for the performance
|
|
of a contract'). This includes processing carried out in order to comply
|
|
with the necessary technical and organisational protection measures.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>(b) Contributors from third-party services</h4>
|
|
<p>piefed.keyboardvagabond.com processes personal data when users of
|
|
third-party services with ActivityPub support interact with its accounts. To
|
|
enrich public profile pages with profile data, the following data is
|
|

|
<li>IP address of the third-party service</li>
|
|
<li>Name of the user's terminal software</li>
|
|
<li>Display name, account name, and profile picture</li>
|
|
<li>Current date and time</li>
|
|
<li>Profile data</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Private messages are not end-to-end encrypted and are therefore in principle
|
|
accessible to the piefed.keyboardvagabond.com administrators.</p>
|
|
<p>This processing is necessary to provide a federated piefed instance and
|
|
therefore based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR ('processing is in our legitimate
|
|
interest') with the exception of personal data that is not required such as
|
|
the display name and profile picture, the processing of which is based on
|
|
Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR ('consent'). piefed.keyboardvagabond.com stores
|
|
profile data from subscriptions from compatible third-party services until
|
|
it receives via that service or directly from the user a request for
|
|
deletion or objection (unsubscribe, unlike, unboost).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4>(c) Registered users</h4>
|
|
<p>piefed.keyboardvagabond.com limits registrations to users it assumes to be
|
|
part of the nomad community. piefed.keyboardvagabond.com reserves the
|
|

|
|
<li>Login credentials consisting of an email address </li>

|
|
<li>Subscriptions and their recent content </li>
|
|
<li>Logged-in sessions (terminal software, time and date, IP address) </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If registered users post profile data, the previous section applies
|
|
accordingly. Note that updating subscribers and posting profile data
|
|
(including profile mentions) requires disclosure of personal data to the
|
|
service of the recipients. Depending on their piefed server's geographic
|
|
location, the disclosure can possibly involve international data transfers
|
|
that are outside of piefed.keyboardvagabond.com's control.</p>
|
|
<p>The registered user's name and display name, profile picture and header,
|
|
description, subscriptions, the own and promoted content, the content of
|
|
their subscriptions, as well as their given feedback is published on their
|
|
profile page.</p>
|
|
<p>This processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR ('processing is
|
|
necessary for the performance of a contract') with the exception of personal
|
|
data that is not required such as the display name and profile picture, the
|
|
processing of which is based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR ('consent'). Profile
|
|
data is retained until the account is deleted.</p>

|
|
data of other people.</p>
